Spooky Dark Chocolate Drinks

Starbucks' Halloween Dark Night Frappuccino Has Arrived in Japan

— October 17, 2019 — Lifestyle
This year, Starbucks Japan has your festive sweet treat needs covered with its new Halloween Dark Night Frappuccino.

Despite the name, the new Halloween Dark Night Frappuccino is anything but scary. The drink combines a sweet blend of dark cocoa with a red berry sauce made from a mixture of raspberry, cranberry, and strawberry. The result is a dark drink with a swirl of blood-red sauce running through it. If that weren't enough, the drink is also infused with brownies with white chocolate chips.

The Halloween Dark Night Frappuccino is part of Starbucks Japan's new MASQUERADE Party lineup, which also includes the new Halloween Masquerade Raspberry Mocha and the new Halloween Red Night Frappuccino. The former features red berries and white mocha sauce, while the latter is topped with a bright red berry sauce and dark cocoa powder.
