Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino is my ultimate favorite Starbucks drink.  It reminds me so much of the holidays and it is so delicious with it’s rich chocolate coffee flavor and hint of peppermint.  Now I can make them right at home!  A little coffee, milk, sugar, cocoa powder and of course peppermint all mixed up with ice gives you the perfect winter drink!

We all know how popular Starbucks is and for good reason, their drinks are delicious! While I love a good hot coffee like anyone there are sometimes when I just want something that just reminds me of the holidays and their Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino always fits the bill. 

Their Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino is a flavorful, cold, chocolatey, peppermint drink that is my favorite.  The mix together creates an addicting holiday drink you will love. Now it is also no secret that Starbucks is not the most budget-friendly place so I love recreating their fabulous drinks at home for pennies!  This drink only has a few simple ingredients! You can make this Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino all week longer for cheaper than one costs at the drive-thru!

I love this because it is totally customizable right at home.  You can add fresh cookie crumbles or crushed peppermint or top with peppermint whipped cream.  You can even play around with the ratios, maybe you want yours with more peppermint or less, totally up to you.  

I like to make a large cup of this Starbucks Pink Drink and sip on it all day, it is so flavorful and always hits the spot.  I love to make it at home so I can make it with caffeine or without depending on my mood.  This is my favorite drink all holiday season long.
