I finally did it! I found a way to make a Pink Cotton Candy Frappuccino and I’m so uber excited about it — More excited than I probably should be.
Jump to the ordering recipe · This is our original 2019 recipe. Check that your store has raspberry syrup before ordering; the story below describes the syrup we used at the time.
The quick order
Our original order: A Venti Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino with half the usual strawberry syrup, 3 pumps of raspberry syrup, and whipped cream. Ask your barista whether the store can make that combination before ordering.
Give the barista the ingredients and amounts so they have the full order. This is the strawberry-based blended version from our original recipe.
Looking for the Pink Drink version with flavored cold foam? Use our Cotton Candy Refresher order. Making one in your kitchen? Our homemade Cotton Candy Frappuccino uses vanilla ice cream and raspberry syrup.
Do you know how hard it is not to be cheesy and say, “I am simply tickled PINK!”
I was so totally bummed when Starbucks took the red color out of the Raspberry syrup. I could no longer get my pretty PINK Cotton Candy Frappuccino.
I understand the reasoning behind leaching all the color from the syrup, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.
I have been wracking my mind, trying to come up with a way to still have that pink color in my Cotton Candy Frappuccino. It’s may TASTE just as good with no color, but it just isn’t the same. I’m totally extra like that.
I finally came up with a recipe that is as yummy as it is PINK!
Now, you CAN’T simply go into a Starbucks, and order a Cotton Candy Frappuccino.
First of all, it is on the Starbucks Secret Menu, so a lot of Baristas will have NO idea what you are talking about.
Second, if the Barista knows the original Cotton Candy Frappuccino recipe, you will get a white Frappuccino. Unexceptable.
It is important to take THIS recipe into the Starbucks with you, so the Barista knows exactly what to make.
Here Is How To Order Your PINK Cotton Candy Frappuccino:
Order a Venti Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino
Have them make it with HALF the strawberry syrup as normal
Get them to add three pumps of Raspberry syrup
Blend the whole thing up in the blender
Top the Frappuccino with a bunch of Whipped Cream
Stick a straw in that beauty, and enjoy
