Starbucks not only dictates when fall starts (on PSL day, of course), but now also when summer starts with its drink drops. The latest seasonal lineup, cleverly dubbed \u201cA.S.A.P.\u201d (As Summer As Possible), comprises mainly of repeat\/returning items, but there\u2019s one new beverage: the Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino!<\/p>\n
This signature blended beverage touts funnel-cake flavor syrup blended with coffee, milk, and ice with layers of strawberry puree, whipped cream, and powered sugar funnel cake pieces.<\/p>\n

Visually, the first descriptor that came to mind was \u201cstunning,\u201d which may sound exaggerated. So, I\u2019ll settle down and simply say it was a pretty drink! It brought back summer nostalgia as it fondly reminded me of strawberry ice cream sundae cups – the ones with the little wooden spoon. As a kid, I used to eat those daily during summer school.<\/p>\n
This Frap was definitely a glow up from those frozen dessert cups. Consistent with all Starbucks\u2019 fruit inclusions\/flavoring, the strawberry puree had the nuanced sweet and tartness of real fruit. In contrast, though, the funnel cake-flavored syrup tasted a little bit artificial. It had a distinct vanilla-esque note that even coffee couldn\u2019t hide.<\/p>\n
To be fair, though, the drink overall was not very coffee-forward. I was about halfway through when I did a double take and asked aloud, \u201cIs there even coffee in this?!\u201d The nutrition facts in the handy app confirmed the caffeine presence of about 85 milligrams, which is a fraction of my usual nitro cold brew. Regardless, I\u2019m going to say it was by design because it would be easy to overwhelm the fruit flavor with bold, acidic coffee.<\/p>\n

I chose not to mix it to maintain the layered drinking experience. My favorite sips started with the whipped cream and strawberry puree part for a strawberries & cream-like flavor. Then it was followed by a slurp of the blended coffee as there were the fun bits of the funnel cake pieces. Said pieces had a graham cracker-like texture instead of fluffy funnel cake. This deviation was fine by me because I hate the idea of soggy pieces. Rinse and repeat (or more like sip and sip some more in this case)!<\/p>\n
Is it a color-changing, Insta-worthy mermaid unicorn beverage? No.<\/p>\n
Is it a classic that I could see returning summer after summer? Heckin\u2019 yes!<\/p>\n
