Thanks to the Unicorn Frappuccino, Starbucks will offer many more funky special drinks
We’re still not over the Unicorn Frappuccino, and that’s fine. It’s sparkly, it’s colorful, it’s fruity, it’s delicious, and it makes a great accessory. What’s not to love? But it sounds like even if we were sick of it, we wouldn’t have to wait long to get similar satisfaction, because Starbucks has new Frappuccino flavors up their sleeve. And we already know we want them all.
According to the higher ups at the company, the unicorn-themed drink’s success means that we’ll be seeing a lot more fun things like it in the future.
“We will bring at least one new entirely new drink into Happy Hour this year that is going to be as good as Unicorn or better,” Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said, according to CNBC.

Added the former CEO Howard Schultz, “Just stay tuned because we have a lot more coming.”
Schultz said the company definitely anticipates a sales spike when Starbucks’ fiscal third-quarter earnings come to light, and we’re like duh.
Also, hold up — “or better”? What could possibly be better than a Frappuccino themed after the most beautiful magical being there is? Starbucks already brought us the Dragon Frappuccino. So what’s next?
Well, we have a few ideas for the coffee company.
Mermaid Frappuccino
Green, obviously, and complete with a seashell-shaped cup top. We’d be down for a watermelon flavor — but definitely not kale, as on-theme as it may seem. Don’t do it, guys!
Fairy Frappuccino
Not only is this an alliterative title, but there are endless possibilities. The top could be sprinkled with “pixie dust,” if Starbucks and Disney could work in harmony (and we know they can, since there are Starbucks locations throughout Disney Parks and properties).
Princess Frappuccino
Again, so many options here, but if you can pay an upgrade fee and get crowned with a tiara and they write your name “Princess (misspelled first name),” we’re down.
Wizard Frappuccino
Another theme-park possibility! Universal Studios, here’s your chance! And it needs to be Butterbeer flavored, obviously.
Anyway, Schultz added that the Unicorn Frappuccino is “the most stunning example of our understanding of digital and social media and Instagram,“ according to ABC News, and we could not agree more.
So please bring on the sparkly new novelty Frappuccinos, Starbucks — but for the love of coffee, we beg you to have the stores stock extra ingredients!
