Sounds good to me!), but if you want to step up your Frappuccino game, then take this opportunity to order from the decadent list of fun flavor combinations that will transform your typical Frappuccino into a whole new delicious experience! If you’re ready to be a Secret Menu Insider here are a few of the most delectable drinks from a variety of flavor categories.
