It was so good that I had to make a review of it. You should try it, and even better, I will show you to make the drink in the comfort of your home in just a few steps in this post. Now I can watch IT while sipping on this terrifyingly delightful beverage.

Brief History of the drink

The Starbucks It Frappuccino became famous in 2017 when the first chapter of the IT movie came out as a tribute to the antagonist, Pennywise the Clown. The drink’s inventor is unknown, and the store it originated, but the earliest Instagram posts featuring the hashtag #ITFrappuccino were around stores in California.

Is the It Frappuccino still available at Starbucks?

The drink is available, though it isn’t on the actual menu. It is part of the Starbucks Secret Menu, meaning that the baristas aren’t trained to make it, so you need to know the recipe before asking for it.

What’s in an It Frappuccino- (ingredients)

Ingredients

What constitutes the It Frappuccino? To mimic Pennywise, the drink entails the Vanilla Crème Bean Frappuccino, strawberry puree syrup on the bottom and top, and some ice. Top it off with whipped cream and more strawberry drizzle for some extra drip. Let’s check out the ingredients.

• The Vanilla Crème Bean Frappuccino: This forms the majority of the drink. You can either get it at Starbucks, minus the espresso, or make it at home using milk, vanilla bean powder, cream base, and some ice to chill the drink.
• The Strawberry puree: This adds sweetness to the drink. You can buy it ready-made or make it yourself by pureeing strawberries, sugar, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Whipped cream: This tops off our mouth-watering beverage and is easy to make. Just whisk some chilled heavy cream until soft peaks begin forming.
