The [secret menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/official-starbucks-secret-menu) [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haruzora-milk-coffee-frappuccino) exclusive to customers in the know has recently expanded to incorporate a [Frappuccino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/younashi-nama-caramel-frappuccino) beverage that celebrates the Pokemon Go virtual game craze. The drink is made using blended vanilla and strawberry flavors to artistically recreate the appearance of a Pokeball.

Dubbed the Pokemon Frappuccino, the drink is available for order in New Zealand and Korea and it combines two blended beverages into one to achieve the red and white look of a Pokeball. The drink features a layer of Vanilla Bean Frappuccino topped with Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino and a layer of strawberry whipped cream. The drink recreates the two-toned look of a Pokeball that trainers capture their Pokemon inside in the Pokemon Go universe with its red and white coloring.
