Is the New Zombie Frappuccino Worth the Hype?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at San Francisco chapter.

Supposedly, Starbucks’ next fan-favorite fall drink is finally here – the Zombie Frappuccino.

According to the coveted coffee company, “Walk, run or drag one foot with your arms outstretched to grab one of our limited-time Zombie Frappuccino® Blended Beverages. It’s more treat than trick with delicious apple and caramel flavors.”

As a dedicated customer and Goldstar Rewards Member (sorry not sorry, Peet’s) I was truly excited to try out the Zombie Frappuccino and add a little more spook into my day. I missed out on Starbucks’ previous colorful drink, the Unicorn Frappuccino, and was dedicated to trying out this drink before the Halloween season was over (or before supplies ran out).

Overall, I was slightly disappointed with the the drink. My drink looked rather messy and wasn’t that lime green color I saw in the promotional photos. 

Although the drink does give off a spooky zombie element, the drink has an interesting flavor to it. One second you can taste the caramel flavored drink, but then what was too much of an undistinguishable sugary syrup explodes in your mouth, ultimately ruining the frappuccino. 

If you’re looking for a fall drink from Starbucks, you’re better off with the seasonal PSL. If you would still like to try the drink, you have until October 31.
