The mermaid frappuccino was first created by Jocelyn, a barista in Michigan, after her location ran out of the ingredients for the unicorn frappuccino.。

Jocelyn describes the recipe for the beverage in her Instagram post. Her mermaid frappuccino consists of a vanilla bean base blended with freeze-dried blueberries and drizzled with "a toasted coconut matcha sauce." 。

Websites dedicated to compiling Starbucks secret menu items have also caught onto the frappuccino, listing very specific recipe instructions for both the drink itself and the drizzle. According to Starbucks Secret Menu's website, the drizzle calls for "eight pumps of white mocha sauce, three pumps toasted coconut syrup, three heaping scoops of matcha."。

If that sounds like mad work, that's because it is. Putting all of those things together just for one frappuccino sounds like a big waste of time. But as long as people keep coming up with these novelty frappuccinos, baristas everywhere will be forced to continue to make them. 。
