The recipe behind the mythical creature beverage has not been made completely clear, but is purported by many to have a [green tea base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyokuro-matcha-frappuccino) that has been paired with a berry syrup swirl. The beverage is topped with whipped cream and vanilla bean powder for an unexpected flavor experience that is not as sour as the Unicorn Frappuccino. The Starbucks Dragon Frappuccino came as a result of baristas running out of supplies for the infamous Unicorn Frappuccino, but has since experienced a life of its own on social media with users sharing their likes and dislikes about the drink. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mythical Beverage Trends:** Exploring the popularity of mythical creature-inspired drinks and their potential for creative flavor combinations. - **Limited Supply Products:** Capitalizing on the success of limited supply products to create buzz and drive customer demand. - **Social Media Buzz Drinks:** Leveraging social media platforms to generate consumer engagement and gather feedback on new drink offerings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beverage and Coffee Shop Industry:** Enhancing menu offerings and creating new drink concepts to meet evolving consumer preferences and drive sales. - **Product Development and Innovation Industry:** Exploring creative flavor combinations and experimenting with limited supply products to capture consumer attention and spark excitement. - **Social Media and Marketing Industry:** Harnessing the power of social media platforms to generate buzz, gather feedback, and promote new drink offerings for increased customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unicorn-Inspired Bakery Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-unicorn-cake.md) - [Film-Based Beverage Concoctions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-wicked.md) - [Magical Autumnal Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mera-meera-frappuccino.md) - [Pitaya Iced Tea Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonade.md) - [Spooky Frothy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-cat-frappuccino.md) - [Blooming Color-Changing Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haruzora-milk-coffee-frappuccino.md) - [Tropical Plant Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandan-fantasy.md) - [Foam-Topped Blended Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frappuccino-blended-beverages.md) - [Caffeine-Free Floral Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lavender-oat-chill.md)
