Starbucks' Fantasy Tail Frappuccino is being introduced as a fantastical, limited-time summer beverage that's full of swirling colors and even a tail-shaped chocolate piece. The blended beverage combines the tropical flavors of mango and dragonfruit and also includes a sprinkling of blueberry powder for a splash of contrasting color. The drink is also finished off with a whipped topping resembles a rolling wave, which helps to make the drink all the more fantastical.
Aside from being drawn to the refreshing flavors of the blended Starbucks beverages, consumers are just as interested in the aesthetics of rainbow-colored or unicorn-inspired blended beverages, as well as others that take inspiration from mythical creatures. As such, this new photo-worthy menu addition is bound to draw consumers to stores in Asia as they reopen.
