There’s a new Instagram-ready, barista-frustrating, and dentist fist-shaking Halloween-themed Starbucks beverage this year — the Witch’s Brew Frappuccino.
According to Starbucks, the beverage starts with a purple blend of “toad’s breath” and orange crème Frappuccino and a swirl of green “bat warts” (made with chia seeds), and it topped with vanilla whipped cream and dusting of green “lizard scale” powder.
The Witch’s Brew Frappuccino is available at participating Starbucks stores in the United States, Canada, Mexico and select markets in the Caribbean for a limited time while supplies last.

It was awesome! No coffee in it, unfortunately. However, it had a delicious creamsicle flavor. The chia seeds gave it a surprisingly good texture. Worth a try if you don’t need a caffeine boost.
