Come in to your closest Starbucks April 20th to try the new Unicorn Frappuccino!(for limited time) pic.twitter.com/iyYjLKEkgz hunter (@HuntzMorgan) April 14, 2017 Some locations say the Unicorn Frappuccino will be available on April 19, while others insist the big release date is April 20. Either way, its happening this week and is available for a limited time.Early reviews of the drink from those who say theyve gotten their hands on it say the colorful concoction is about what youd expect: Intensely sweet, sour, and it looks better than it tastes.Hopefully it tastes better than last years limited-release Fruitcake Frappuccino.Snacktakus Mike Fahey, whose wife has worked at Starbucks for over a decade, said Monday that he expected the drink to taste like a sour berry situation, based on its purple, pink and blue hue. But it actually has a mango base. The sparkly sugar sprinkles on top are basically sour candy, he wrote, and the blue wave is more sugary syrup.It tastes nothing like unicorn, he added. Unicorn Frappuccino @starbucks . Official release date is April 19th, but you can find certain starbucks stores making these. Our first thoughts upon receiving this drink is oh geez what did we get ourselves into' It's super colorful and artificial looking. I was scared it was going to have the peeps oreo artificial aftertaste, but I was wrong. It looked like this drink would have a blue raspberry or cotton candy taste, but nope! It tastes like a mango lassi! Yum! Creamy mango frappuccino with sour sprinkles. It's definitely worth trying if you're into fruit smoothies. It's a nice change from their coffee flavored frappuccinos, plus it's pretty! . . #starbucks #socal #unicorn #frappuccino #unicornfrappuccino #food #foodie #foodporn #foodcoma #foodphotography #foodgasm #foodstagram #nom #nomnom #nomnomnom #eatingfortheinsta #hungry #sweet #sweettooth #instafood #seriouseats #yummy A post shared by SoCal Snack Hunters (@socalsnackhunters) on Apr 17, 2017 at 1:35pm PDT UNICORNS ARE COMING @starbucks UNICORN FRAPPUCCINO launching April 19th. @acayennelily TAG YOUR STARBUCKS SQUAD .................. #lasvegas #vegas #igeats #vegasfood #cheatmeal #foodblogger #nomnom #f52grams #foodiegram #foodlover #eatfamous #starbucks #rainbows #unicornfrappuccino #tastethis A post shared by UNLOKT Las Vegas (@unlokt) on Apr 16, 2017 at 10:21am PDT is HERE and it taste DELICIOUS! #unicornfrappuccino pic.twitter.com/YjH0LJvdqg B.
