Frappuccino Recipe

The Frappuccino is one of the best selling drinks in the world and has almost single handedly taken Starbucks from one store in Seattle to the world wide phenomenon it is today.

The Frappuccino didn't take long to become one of the best selling drinks in the world. The name has even become a "catch all" for a milk based coffee drink in many people's minds, often just called a "frap."

Now you can make this Starbucks favorite at home and save yourself time and money.

The (Short) History of Starbucks 

The first Starbucks opened in 1971 in the historic Pike Place Market in Seattle. That's the place where they throw the fish. Hope none of those landed in the coffee. ;)

The name, Starbucks, comes from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, the classic American novel about the 19th century whaling industry. That's why they have the Mermaid on the logo.

Howard Schultz joined Starbucks in 1982. On a trip to Italy, he visited Milan's famous espresso bars and was impressed with their popularity and culture. He returned home and added Lattes and Mochas to Starbucks and Seattle goes coffee-crazy.

The rest of the world quickly follows and today Starbucks has more than 15,000 locations across the globe.

The (Even Shorter) History of the Frappuccino 

Starbucks acquired the rights to a similar frozen coffee drink and the trademarked name, Frappuccino, when it bought out the Coffee Connection of Boston, a chain with 24-stores mostly around New England. A pretty good deal in hindsight.

The original Frap, however, was completely different from the one that Starbucks serves.

The name, Frappuccino, is a combination of frappe and cappuccino. An original cappuccino is a strong Italian coffee drink topped with frothed milk -- and still served at Starbucks and every other coffee bar.

Frappe is either taken from frappé, a Greek coffee-based milkshake, or from the local New England term for a thick milkshake, frappe. Or perhaps both.

Cinnabon serves similar drinks called Mochalatta and Caramelatta and Dunkin' Donuts also has a drink called Coolatta .

Starbucks Frappuccino Recipe 

Da Recipe for the Drink that has Taken Over da World

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh Espresso
  • 2 1/2 cups low fat Milk (2 percent)
  • 1/4 cup granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry Pectin (this adds no taste and can easily be left out. What it does is make the drink "thick")


Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher or covered container.
  2. Stir or shake until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Chill and serve cold.


To make the "Mocha" variety:

Add a pinch (1/16 teaspoon) of cocoa powder to the mixture before combining.

This recipe will be even more authentic if you use Starbucks beans and grind them yourself just before brewing. You can have Starbucks coffee beans sent straight to your home -- and save money on them -- with a simple visit to Coffee For Less.
