<\/a>Unicorn Frappuccino, I could feel a cooling sensation building up in my mouth. Hello, Jack! But then I realized something. Is it the cooling mint sugar crystals or the cooling ice crystals causing that? My mouth wasn\u2019t sure.<\/p>\nNow you\u2019re probably thinking dark cocoa + mint = Thin Mints (or Keebler Grasshoppers, whatever floats your boat), which is an almost accurate description of this Frappuccino\u2019s flavor and probably the only words I needed to type for this review. It\u2019s similar enough that I feel as if the green Starbucks logo on the cup should be replaced with the green Girl Scouts logo.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But the mint and its cooling is faint, which disappoints me because I thought it would be stronger. It\u2019s not at a level that makes you think you\u2019ve brushed your teeth or popped a York Peppermint Patty into your mouth or consumed EVERYTHING in a mojito. So I guess you could say the mint was thin. <\/p>\n
Sorry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Although the mint is lighter than I would\u2019ve liked, it still an enjoyable vessel of sugar. The use of dark cocoa powder prevents the drink from being overly sweet. I mean, it\u2019s still quite sweet, after all it\u2019s a Frappusweetno with two applications of whipped cream. But it wasn\u2019t the cloying overload I\u2019ve experienced with others. <\/p>\n
Overall, the Starbucks Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino is great treat to have at midnight, mid-day, or whenever your local Starbucks is open.<\/p>\n
