Starbucks\u2019 extensive spring 2024 menu seems to have limited edition beverages for any craving, and if you\u2019re in the market for something frozen, sweet, and extremely floral, the Lavender Cr\u00e8me Frappuccino is the one for you. (It is, however, not the one for you if you\u2019re hoping for some caffeinated pep in your step; the \u201cCr\u00e8me\u201d designation on a Frappuccino specifically means that it contains no caffeine, as opposed to the java-jammed \u201cCoffee Frappuccinos.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Some seasonal menus leave you scratching your head about why anyone would associate that particular flavor with that particular time of year, but that was definitely not the case here. This frap screams \u201cspring\u201d so loudly that I could practically hear birds sing as I picked mine up off the counter! It was as sweet as you\u2019d expect from a drink made primarily of milk, flavored syrup, and whipped cream, but its floweriness was even more noticeable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever loved the smell of a candle so much that you wished you could eat it, this will be right up your alley. If oversaturated, the flavor could easily become cloying, perhaps even medicinal, but luckily, Starbucks gracefully avoids that pitfall. The lavender was a prominent enough addition to add some intrigue to the Frappuccino\u2019s milky\/vanilla-y base but still mellow enough to remain light and refreshing. That being said, it didn\u2019t thrill me; I felt it was definitely good, but definitely not great.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Part of that for me was due to the texture \u2014 which admittedly is the same for all Frappuccinos, not just the Lavender Cr\u00e8me one, but if you\u2019ve never tried any of them before, I want to make sure you know what you\u2019re getting yourself into! Some people claim that Frappuccinos, particularly the coffee-less ones like this, are basically just milkshakes, but IMHO (In My Hungry Opinion), they\u2019re more closely related to slushies. After all, once you eat through the pretty covering of whipped cream (or allow it to melt if you\u2019re a bit more patient than me), not even the lovely light purple coloring will distract you from seeing how gritty this frap is. In addition to the tasty ingredients I mentioned earlier, another key component is ice, giving this drink a graininess that I would be quite unhappy to find in a shake. That also means that the frap flavor experience is inherently unbalanced. The earlier sips are likely to be more flavorful as you slurp up more of the syrup, but the closer you get to the end of your drink, the more likely you are to face mouthfuls that are just watery or even straight-up icy, with a taste that can mostly just be summed up as \u201ccold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like the spring flowers that are one day fated to wilt, the Lavender Cr\u00e8me Frappuccino won\u2019t be around forever, so if you love not-quite-milkshakes, the color purple, and\/or perfume-y flavors, check it out. But at least for me, when it goes away with the end of the season, it won\u2019t be the end of the world.<\/p>\n
