Starbucks Japan promises cola float-like drinking sensation with first-ever Cola Frappuccino

Starbucks will introduce its first-ever cola-flavored Frappuccino to its menu in Japan, promising customers of a cola float-like drinking sensation with lime flavor added to the cola spice.

While the drink is not carbonized, the crushed ice creates the sensation of carbonation, making for a memorable mouthfeel.

The Cola Frappuccino, which costs 678 yen for takeout and 690 yen for dine-in, also features vanilla-flavored whipped cream that has a distinct Starbucks-like taste, as it’s blended with the chain’s espresso coffee for extra richness and aroma.

Also part of Starbucks Japan’s new Frappuccino offering is the Creamy & Sweet Milk Coffee, an icy beverage priced from 540-680 yen, which delivers a rich and milky coffee, layered with fresh cream and white chocolate-flavored syrup.

The milk coffee used in an original blend of vanilla-flavored syrup, iced coffee, and vanilla-and-coffee-flavored whipped cream.

The limited-edition drinks will be available at Starbucks stores in Japan from March 17, or online from March 15, while stocks last.
