The Starbucks Zombie Frappuccino is green, pink, gloriously creepy, and exactly the kind of drink that belongs in spooky season. The matcha base gives it zombie-skin color, while strawberry puree and strawberry pieces create the delightfully gory finish.
This is not an official Starbucks menu drink. It is a Totally The Bomb custom order made with ingredients that are available at many Starbucks locations. Order it by the recipe below—not by asking for a “Zombie Frappuccino”—so your barista knows exactly what to make.
How to order a Zombie Frappuccino at Starbucks
- Start with a Grande Matcha Crème Frappuccino.
- Ask to substitute raspberry syrup for the classic syrup. If you want a softer, sweeter version, vanilla syrup also works.
- Ask for strawberry puree on top of the whipped cream. You can also request puree inside the cup for extra red streaks.
- Finish with strawberry pieces on top, if your store has them available.
Starbucks made raspberry syrup a permanent menu option again in 2026, which gives this old Halloween favorite its punchy berry flavor back. Ingredient availability can still vary by store, so the vanilla version is an easy backup.
What does the Zombie Frappuccino taste like?
It is creamy, earthy, and berry-sweet. Matcha keeps the drink from tasting like straight candy, while raspberry syrup and strawberry puree bring the fruity “brains and blood” look. The strawberry pieces add the final scary-sparkly texture on top.
Tips for ordering this Starbucks secret menu drink
- Use the Starbucks app to check whether your store currently lists raspberry syrup and strawberry pieces.
- Read the customizations in order, and be patient if the store is busy.
- Keep the drink name for the photo caption. The recipe is what helps the barista.
Is the Zombie Frappuccino on the Starbucks menu?
No. This version is part of our Starbucks Secret Menu collection, not an official Starbucks drink. That means recipes and availability can change as ingredients come and go.
