# Waffle Cone-Flavored Drinks The Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino is Made for Warmer Weather By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-05-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-waffle-cone-frappuccino References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2016/05/109752/caramel-waffle-cone-frappuccino) & [starbucks](http://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/frappuccino-blended-beverages/caramel-waffle-cone-frappuccino-blended-beverage) Right after announcing the return of the S’mores Frappuccino, [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramelly-milk-coffee-frappuccino) released another blended coffee concoction called the Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino. The delicious new beverage combines elements of a classic summer treat with hints of indulgent caramel for a refreshing warm-weather drink. The new Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino is a drink inspired by the boardwalks that often surround seaside resorts such as Atlantic City and Coney Island. But instead of a waffle cone filled with ice cream, this drink puts a creative twist on the classic boardwalk treat. The new frappuccino features coffee blended with milk, ice, [caramel waffle cone syrup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmys-caramel-waffle) and dark caramel sauce. The drink is finished with whipped cream, waffle pieces and an additional drizzle of dark caramel sauce. The tasty new drink will be available all summer long, making it the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Blended Coffee Beverages:** Opportunity for innovation: Explore new flavors and combinations to create unique blended coffee beverages. - **Boardwalk-inspired Treats:** Opportunity for innovation: Develop innovative snacks and treats that are inspired by classic boardwalk flavors and experiences. - **Refreshing Warm-weather Drinks:** Opportunity for innovation: Create refreshing and indulgent beverages that are perfect for summer months. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Coffee Retail:** Opportunity for innovation: Introduce new coffee flavors and drinks to attract customers. - **Snack Food Manufacturing:** Opportunity for innovation: Develop and produce unique snacks and treats that offer a nostalgic, boardwalk-inspired experience. - **Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for innovation: Explore new flavor combinations and ingredients to create refreshing and indulgent beverages for warm-weather enjoyment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Caramel-Dipped Waffle Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-dipped-waffle-cone.md) - [Layered Butterscotch Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramelly-milk-coffee-frappuccino.md) - [Vanilla Swirled Iced Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-vanilla-swirl-iced-coffee.md) - [Cola-Infused Frappuccinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cola-frappuccino.md) - [Foam-Topped Blended Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frappuccino-blended-beverages.md) - [Seasonal Frappuccino Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-melts-popcorn.md) - [Ice Cream-Inspired Frozen Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-creaminspired-frozen-coffees.md) - [Chocolate-Flavored Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-3.md) - [Limited-Edition Stroopwafel-Inspired Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmys-caramel-waffle.md)
