To make matters even scarier, the slime green drink will be topped with [pink whipped cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frappuccino-blended-beverages), resembling brains and sweetened with a blood red mocha drizzle. A representative of the coffee chain wouldn't reveal too much about the highly anticipated beverage, claiming “Our Halloween plans are still under [mummy] wraps, but we look forward to sharing more details with the living soon."
