Every week, there seems to be a new Starbucks drink you need to get your hands on, but while a Prickly Pear Frappuccino sounds delicious, we all know that the real treats are the ones you can get across the world. In Latin America, there are a few Starbucks gems that sound worthy of your attention and palette. Made with local ingredients like chirimoya and algarrobina, their origins make them unique. We are already booking our flights to go on a tour just so we can have each and every one of these drinks.
Brigadeiro Frappuccino
In Brazil, you can get a Brigadeiro Frappuccino. A brigadeiro is a classic Brazilian chocolate bonbon. The drink is made with a "blend of Starbucks' Frappuccino roast, chocolate chips, white mocha sauce, mocha sauce, classic syrup, milk and ice." The cup is lined with brigadeiro sauce and topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles.
Lúcuma Créme Frappuccino
The Lúcuma Créme Frappuccino is made from the lúcuma fruit, which is native to Peru. The drink is said to taste just like caramel.
