Starbucks Is Bringing Back a Legendary Frappuccino Nationwide-But Not for Long

Starbucks is officially returning its iconic Unicorn Frappuccino to menus this summer.

The international coffee giant teased the drink's big comeback earlier this year, offering it exclusively at Coachella Music Festival in the Indio, Calif., this past April. The last time fans saw it before that was in 2017, back when the frapp first hit menus for what was supposed to be a few weeks, but its limited supply disappeared faster than anyone could have expected.

Fast forward to today, Starbucks said it will return the legendary Frappuccino flavor to its coffeehouses across the U.S.-but only for one weekend this summer.

Although its name may suggest it's a sip inspired by something magical, Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccino is actually more tropical than anything.

The bold and colorful blended beverage made with mango syrup, sour blue drizzle and topped with vanilla whipped cream and a dusting of sweet pink and sour blue powder (so the limited-time mango-themed menu it dropped earlier this spring should have also been a major hint that its return was inevitable).

Those who've been lucky enough to try it say it offers a tangy yet sweet flavor.

When exactly the drink will return to menus is unclear, as Starbucks said its grand return will be announced at a later date.

Until then, fans can cure any Starbies cravings they may have with any one of its other summer menu items, which are available now and expanding on June 16 with the launch of its new Blue Coconut menu (available for a limited time; prices may vary).
