This is a Frappuccino that Starbucks once had on its menu as a secret menu contest entry. It was only on the menu for a short time, but is still available for those who know how to order it correctly.

At Starbucks, a Cotton Candy Frappuccino is simply a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with Raspberry Syrup. It used to have an amazing pink color to it, but Starbucks decided to remove the artificial coloring in the raspberry syrup, so it’s just a simple white color in stores at this point.

But don’t worry, this at-home version will be the pretty pink color we’ve all missed! And if you’re feeling even more extra, you can get some actual cotton candy to top it with! (That’s my plan!)

At Starbucks, the Cotton Candy Frappuccino consists of whole milk, vanilla bean powder, raspberry syrup, a blending base, ice, and whip cream.
