The Starbucks Valentine Frappuccino is a must-have, especially on that romantic date. But how do you order this item on the secret menu? Read on to find out.

The Starbucks Valentine Frappuccino is a treat my partner and I enjoy weekly. There is much to love about this drink, but what impresses me the most is its taste and multi-color. I was even more surprised when I learned that it is made up of three Frappuccino flavors. How incredible! Let’s talk about what this drink contains.

Brief History of the drink

I first knew about the Valentine Frappuccino during a blind date at Starbucks. My date ordered this for us, and I loved it. Later, when we made the relationship official, I asked him the steps to order it, and we have since made it our weekly date drink.

So, what exactly is Valentine’s Frappuccino?

This delight of lovely colors originated in the US, where it was created by Tony Aguilar, a Starbucks partner in Tucson, Arizona, and his baristas. He posted the recipe on his social media platform. Its attractive multi-colors are what made it Instagram-worthy, and within no time, everyone was interested.

From the table, you can see that this drink has high-calorie content as well as sugar. Although it contains no caffeine, the sugar content is still questionable and should not be consumed daily.

Caffeine information

Interestingly, this drink does not contain any amount of caffeine. It is recommended especially for people like me, who are always interested in caffeine-free options at Starbucks. A benefit of non-caffeinated drinks is that it always prevents risks of high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Even as you enjoy a drink, it is always important to keep a healthy lifestyle.

So, what does Starbucks Valentine Frappuccino taste like?

This drink has a lovely fruity flavor because of the raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry flavors that it contains. It also has that sweet unforgettable taste of whipped cream, which adds to the already existing sweetness. The first taste of this drink gives you that juicy chocolatey tropical feel.

Ways to Customize a Valentine Frappuccino at Starbucks

There are three main ways you can order this drink and enjoy them.

Firstly, you can order a Starbucks double chocolate chip crème Frappuccino but ask your barista to use a white mocha instead of a regular mocha. Now let them add in pumps of raspberry syrup (2 pumps tall, 3 Grande, 4 venti), and voila!

You could also order a strawberry and crème Frappuccino with extra pumps of raspberry syrup. Then ask your barista to include a vanilla bean in the middle and a blackberry at the top. Finalize this delicious drink with whipped cream at the top.

You can also ask for a tall creme-based white mocha Frappuccino topped with two pumps of raspberry and two scoops of blackberries. Then let your barista include dragon fruit atop the whipped cream.
