5 Ways to Hack the Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino

Starbucks has released a Unicorn Frappuccino, and while it looks beautiful, you have options if you need an alternative to the magical new drink. Here, five fun ways to hack Starbucks' menu to live your best damn unicorn life. (Friendly reminder: None of these drinks are officially on the menu, and baristas only know how to make the official Unicorn Frappuccino. But if you politely ask for one these, you just might get it.)

1. The Pink Unicorn

Order a pink drink and ask to add the blue sour syrup found in the Unicorn Frappuccino. You'll have zero regrets after trying this drink, which tastes like a strawberry Sour Skittles.

2. Unicorn Passion

This Secret Menu-with-a-twist concoction is made with milk, Shaken Iced Passion Tea, classic syrup, crème base, and pink powder from the Unicorn Frappuccino. Ask your barista to top it off with ~unicorn dust~.

3. Unicorn Iced Mocha

If you're like, these unicorn drinks are cute, but I need coffee, this caffeinated drink is for you. Order an Iced White Chocolate Mocha with blue syrup, and request unicorn dust to give it that magical, fairytale touch.

4. Vanilla Unicorn Bean Frappuccino

Inspiration: Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

This is essentially a unicorn milkshake, so it's obviously delicious. Order a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, ask to add pink powder, and top it with unicorn dust and whipped cream. Easy!

5. The Raspberry Unicorn Frappuccino

Inspiration: the Unicorn Frappuccino

As pointed out by a barista on Reddit, replacing mango syrup with raspberry syrup is a brilliant hack. To order it, ask for a Unicorn Frappuccino with raspberry pumps instead of mango pumps. It tastes like a raspberry Sour Skittle — and it's so good.
