Baby Yoda has taken the internet by storm! And now you can enjoy your favorite tiny green child in blended-coffee form.
From Princess Fraps to Villainous concoctions, Starbucks baristas have been receiving Disney-inspired drink requests from superfans that wish to satisfy their caffeine cravings and Instagram feeds.
This time, Star Wars fans are taking inspiration from the internet’s most famous baby alien, Baby Yoda, also known as The Kid from the Disney+ runaway hit, The Mandalorian. The Kid has stolen our hearts and now will fill our bellies with this Baby Yoda Frappuccino secret menu item at your local Starbucks.
We’re not sure where this new trend started, but the internet is starting to buzz about the new fan-created blended drink. Made with matcha and caramel, the combination isn’t too strange. But as with any trendy, fan-created Starbucks drink recipe, the reviews are… dare we say… mixed.
Fans are taking to Instagram to capture the green and caramel frozen drink. It does look surprisingly appetizing if we care to admit to it. It reminds us of a caramel apple smoothie of sorts.
One fan shared the recipe so you can attempt to order your own on your next Starbucks visit. Instagram user @markie_devo shares: “1. Start by asking for a matcha green tea Frappuccino ..2. Ask to add caramel drizzle to the cup (this will be Baby Yoda’s cloak)..3. Top off with whipped cream, caramel and caramel ribbon crunch crunchies(not sure if caramel crunchies are even available, but if they are sweet)”. That doesn’t sound bad at all, now does it?
We also stumbled upon some Reddit posts asking if this was “taking it too far.” As with any trending topic, the responses were divided. Some readers were all for it while others think fans are making Starbucks baristas frustrated with all these fan-made custom orders.
We think these secret menu items are at least worth a try! If the ingredients are available, this drink doesn’t seem much worse than any other custom drink request we’ve heard ordered before.
May the force be with our beloved Starbucks baristas!
