Frappuccino Recipes (self.starbucksbaristas)

*TLDR: What are the recipes for all the kinds of mocha fraps (coffee and creme) and caramel fraps (coffee and creme)?*

I've been a barista since October, I'm a slow learner but at this point I'm pretty good with making all the drinks now. However, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't kinda guessing the recipe whenever a mocha-based or caramel-based frappuccino shows up.

So my issue is that I'm not yet familiar with the subtle differences in recipes between the mocha fraps and between the caramel fraps. Honestly they just all look like the same thing with slight changes. The website isn't really helpful and I'd rather ask y'all than look at the recipe cards on my break at work.

Recipes for both the coffee and creme fraps would be super helpful, and I'm just lifting the names from the Canadian website (yes I work in a Canadian Starbs, idk if that changes anything) but if I missed any mocha or caramel ones, go ahead and add that to the mix if you know em! SIDENOTE I was told that there's whipped cream and caramel drizzle at the BOTTOM AND TOP of one of the caramel fraps? Ring a bell for anyone? Is that standard?

***MOCHA COFFEE FRAPS***
Mocha Cookie Crumble
Java Chip

***MOCHA CREME FRAPS***
Chocolate Cookie Crumble
Double Chocolatey Chip

***CARAMEL COFFEE FRAPS***
Caramel Ribbon Crunch
Caramel

***CARAMEL CREME FRAPS***
Caramel

Like I said if I'm missing any, even if I'm missing common custom iterations of these or "secret menu"/tiktok recipes, I'd love to hear em! Thanks in advance!

this is really helpful for some drinks, like what ingredients go in them. and the pump/scoop ratio is always 2 for Tall, 3 for Grande, 4 for Venti! :)

If it’s a crumble or crunch, it gets layers

Java chip and mocha cookie are the same, EXCEPT JC doesn’t get layers or cookie crumbles on top

The crème versions just don’t get frappe roast

Caramel ribbon crunch gets dark caramel and layers, caramel gets the caramel syrup and no layers

Also a good little thing to remember if it gets mocha drizzle or not is chips get drip. So things with the Frappuccino chips get mocha drizzle

Your coffee fraps and creme fraps will be the same EXCEPT for creme fraps, you will omit the frap roast and instead of coffee base, you’ll use creme base. So mocha cookie crumble and chocolate cookie crumble are the same, but the latter does not get any frap roast and gets creme base instead. Same with Java chip vs. double chocolately chip. They’re just the creme name versions of mocha cookie and java chip.

The basic Frappuccino recipe is:
2/3/4 pumps froast into cup, whole milk to bottom line. Pour into blender.
2/3/4 half-dose pumps of whatever syrup frap you’re making (so if it’s mocha you’d use mocha. If it’s a plain coffee frap or espresso frap you’d skip this step).
2/3/4 scoops of any add-ins or powders if applicable (such as java chips or vanilla bean powder).
2/3/4 pumps of coffee base.
Appropriate scoop ice. Blend on 1. Pour into cup and top with whip if it’s a syrup frap!

Any frap with a syrup or flavor is going to get whip. Any frap with java chips is going to get mocha drizzle. Any frap with caramel in it gets caramel drizzle.

Mocha cookie crumble is literally a java chip frap with whipped cream and cookie crumble in the bottom of the cup, plus whip, drizzle, and cookie crumble on top. So the frap itself gets java chips and mocha sauce. Caramel ribbon crunch gets whipped cream and dark caramel in the bottom of the cup, plus whip, caramel drizzle, and crunch topping on top. The frap itself is like a regular syrup frap but instead of regular caramel you’d use the dark caramel sauce.

Let me know if that makes sense/you have any questions!

the mocha cookie crumble gets frap roast coffee, milk, mocha sauce, java chips, coffee base, and ice. the inside of the cup gets whipped cream at the bottom, with bar mocha sauce drizzled over it and cookie crumbles. then the blended part gets poured in, topped with more whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and cookie crumbles!

the chocolate cookie crumble is the exact same, just no frap roast coffee, only milk. and the coffee base as thickener is substituted for creme base!

java chip is basically the mocha cookie crumble but without the whipped cream inside the cup and the cookie crumbles. just the frap roast coffee, milk, mocha sauce, java chips, coffee base and ice, blended and topped with whip and mocha drizzle!

double chocolatey chip is the exact same as the java chip, but no frap roast coffee- only milk, and no coffee base- creme base instead!

the caramel ribbon crunch is the other frap with whipped cream at the bottom. in the blender goes frap roast coffee, milk, caramel syrup (not sauce yet), coffee base and ice. the inside of the cup gets whipped cream at the bottom, dark caramel sauce, and caramel crunch topping. then the blended part is poured in and topped with more whip, caramel drizzle, and caramel crunch topping! :))

the caramel coffee frap is the frap roast coffee, milk, caramel syrup, coffee base, and ice, topped with whip and caramel drizzle.

the caramel creme is the exact same, but no frap roast-just milk, and no coffee base, creme base instead!
