Starbucks Tuxedo Frappuccino

Celebrating the New Year usually involves champagne, but Starbucks would like you to do it with their new Tuxedo Beverage Collection. The lineup features three drinks.

The Tuxedo Mocha is hot espresso poured over mocha sauce and white chocolate mocha sauce. Steamed milk is then added and everything is topped with whipped cream and mocha drizzle on half of the whipped cream. Then it’s finished with a sprinkle of dark chocolate curls.

The Tuxedo Hot Chocolate combines mocha sauce, white chocolate mocha sauce, and steamed milk. It’s topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and dark chocolate curls.

Finally, the Tuxedo Mocha Frappuccino is a mixture of mocha sauce, white chocolate mocha sauce, Frappuccino roast coffee, milk, and ice blended together and topped with whipped cream combo found on the other two beverages.

The Starbucks Tuxedo Beverage Collection is only available through January 1, 2017.

To be honest, I didn’t know what store or restaurant gift card we would be giving away on the 12th and final day of The Impulsive Buy’s 2016 Season of Giving. But after some last minute shopping and several minutes staring at the gift card endcap at a local grocery store, I picked one up.

The thing is, I’m not going to tell you what store or restaurant it’s from. I’m not even going to tell you how much is on the gift card. But I will say, but I will say.

The card above is the one the winner will receive. Yes, it’s a gift card for Valentine’s Day. No, the Walmart I went to didn’t have any gift cards with holiday designs. It didn’t even have cards with “Congratulations” or “Happy Birthday.” So if you happen to be the winner of this card, I want to let you know that I do love you, but not in THAT way.
