Cotton Candy Frappe – Raspberry Blended Drink

The Starbucks Cotton Candy Frappuccino is one of those drinks on the “secret menu.” Thankfully, it’s one that probably won’t anger your favorite barista. It’s basically a Vanilla Bean Frappe with raspberry syrup.

Since this cotton candy drink is so simple, we can easily whip one up at home. With just a few ingredients, you can skip the trip, save some money, make the size you want, and tweak the ingredients to your liking.

What you need to make a cotton candy frappe

• Ice
• Milk
• Vanilla ice cream
• Raspberry syrup
• Whipped cream
• Corn syrup
• Sprinkles

Steps to make the raspberry frappe

Place a drop of corn syrup on a paper towel and gently rub the rims of the serving glasses.

Pour sprinkles onto a plate and dip the rims of the glasses in them to coat.

Obviously, this is optional and basically for appearance.

Add the ice, milk, ice cream, and raspberry syrup to a blender.

Blend until smooth.

Pour into the prepared glasses.

Top with whipped cream and serve.

This amount will fill one large glass, but I suggest splitting it into two servings.

Top with fresh raspberries for an extra little burst of color and flavor.

Just for fun, you can top your cotton candy drink with a candy horn and other colorful sprinkles to make it look like a unicorn frappé.

Doing this won’t be a unicorn frappuccino copycat because the flavors are different, but it’s cute all the same!

Please remove the unicorn horn before serving for safety.

Yes, the raspberry syrup smells like cough syrup if you sniff it from the bottle. Don’t worry, once combined with the milk, ice, and ice cream, it tastes delicious.
