One of the things I miss the most about my childhood home is the blackberry bush that would come back to life every summer. My mom and I would pick a sunny, relaxing day and pick the plumpest, juiciest berries we could get our hands on. We used them for a laundry list of baked goods, including blackberry muffins, blackberry tarts and, of course, delicious blackberry cobbler.
While I may not have that blackberry bush anymore, Starbucks is about to bring me back to some delicious memories thanks to the Blackberry Cobbler Frappuccino.
How to Order a Blackberry Cobbler Frappuccino
First things first, you’ll want to order a Grande Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with only one scoop of vanilla bean powder. Next, you’ll ask for the Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher juice up to the second line of the cup. After that, request a scoop of the freeze-dried blackberries. When it’s all blended together, finish off your Frappuccino with graham cracker crumbles in the bottom of the cup and on top of the whipped cream.
While it would be totally wicked for Starbucks to add this to their regular menu, unfortunately, that’s not the case. If you’re pickin’ up what I’m puttin’ down, then you know I’m talking about the beloved secret menu. This isn’t the first time we’ve talked about the Starbucks secret menu—remember the Cookies and Cream Frappuccino?—and it won’t be the last.
Blackberry Cobbler Frappuccino Review
It’s honestly the perfect amount of sweet mixed with the right amount of tart. If you like your Frapps a bit sweeter, don’t be afraid to ask for one more vanilla scoop, as the vanilla flavor is very subtle. It’s definitely heavy on the berry as every blackberry pie should be. If you give the whipped cream a minute to melt into the rest of the drink, it’s even creamier.
Just keep in mind, due to the Very Berry Hibiscus, this drink will be more liquidy than other Frappuccinos. But, if that’s what you enjoy, you’re good to go. It truly tasted like a melted berry popsicle!
Treat Yourself This Summer
You can celebrate summer with a bang! Imagine sipping on a frosty Blackberry Cobbler Frappuccino while you hang out in the sun with your favorite book. Sounds like a perfect day to me.
If you want this drink, you’ve got to help your barista out and know the recipe line-by-line. Baristas aren’t trained on secret menu drinks, so just dropping the name won’t do you any good. Make sure you have the recipe ready at checkout, whether that’s via the drive-thru or mobile app. I can personally thank my friend @crypticartisan for making this fantastic Starbucks secret menu drink!
