    Copy Cat Starbucks Frappuccino

    Published: Aug 7, 2018 · Updated: Jun 12, 2023 by Tammilee · This post may contain affiliate links

    John has developed a new love for Starbucks Frappuccinos. He loves coffee and has decided that these are his new favorite thing. I am not a fan of the $2.00+ price tag on them, so I decided to see if we could make a Copy Cat Starbucks Frappuccino at home. I am really hoping that he will make this instead of picking up a $2.00 drink at the store. This is such an easy copy cat recipe to make at home.  We had all of the ingredients in the pantry.

    Thankfully we are still sharing our favorite recipes 9 years after we started this crazy website we had no idea was going to become what it is today.

    Recipe Notes

    A few notes from trying this CopyCat Starbucks Frappuccino recipe

    Flavored coffee did not work well for this recipe. It was way too sweet

    Splenda did not work with this recipe. It did not mix in and kind of floated through the drink

      Wow what a nice recipe I usually try to follow a recipe through the first time around to give it a fair shot. I usually make a different Frappuccino recipe using instant coffee this time I brewed my own I brewed a bit more than the recipe called for. I’m glad I did I adjusted my preference I did add a bit of vanilla too. It’s a great recipe makes a lot for refills.

      This is sooo good! Thank you💙 So much better than spending $3 for a bottle. And I always have to get two. One for my oldest daughter and one for myself. I substituted hazelnut for the vanilla and even she loved it.💙💙

      I make my own with splenda. Using Starbucks, yoohoo, our any glass bottle. I pour 4oz cold coffee, 6-7oz room temp water, 2 packets of splenda, and 2oz of French vanilla cold creamer. Shake it vigorously and refrigerate over night and it's ready the morning. I usually make 10 to 12 bottles at a time. I actually like mine better than Starbucks. To make it right now. I crush about half cup of ice and add previous ingredients to my ninja mixer.
      Mix and enjoy.

      Is the Vanilla Creamer liquid or powered?
      Thank you

      I seriously can't remember how much rum to add for the spiked version. Plus, it was two kinds of rum, it was a clear rum, and a dark rum. Please send me the details. (of course starting with the ten cup measurement of coffee, and all the other ingredients).

      I'm sorry- this may be obvious to some but are you using liquid or powdered coffee creamer in this recipe?

      Very good and easy recipe!
      When I was about to try it out, I also added some chocolate sauce and it tasted absolutely amazing!
      Of course, there are many more (same) recipes out there on the internet but this was the best one I could find 🙂
      Here's a little tip for John: Make your own ice coffee like you described, pour it into the Starbucks bottle and tell John you 'already bought' his coffee. Indeed, Starbucks is expensive as hell..

      i love this recipe. The only difference I did was I added the sugar and brown sugar in the coffee while is was still hot and added some ice cubes. Then I added a little bit of Hersey's chocolate syrup. Really good recipe love it!

      I make my own Starbucks copycat also; I make my 4-c coffee, I use sweet and low and I use the International vanilla creamer. So pretty much the same as yours minus the brown sugar, but Hey, who doesn't love brown sugar?

      Love your recipe. I did use Splenda,
      mixing it in when coffee was hot. Thanks for sharing!
