From August 9 to August 31, 2023, a Watermelon Frappuccino will be introduced at Starbucks in Japan. This new offering, known as the “GABURI Watermelon Frappuccino,” boasts a vibrant red appearance resembling a watermelon. To capture the essence of concentrated fruit flavors, the drink combines watermelon juice with a sauce that contains dragon fruit pulp and passion fruit juice, creating a blended concoction.

Moreover, the beverage incorporates the delightful contrast of sweet and tangy kiwi fruit pulp, reminiscent of the green rind of a watermelon, providing a delightful sensation akin to biting into watermelon seeds. Even individuals who aren’t fans of watermelon can savor the invigorating and crisp taste without any melon-related elements.

The finishing touch is a layer of whipped cream crowned with a unique “watermelon salt,” an amalgamation of watermelon juice and salt. This nuanced blend of flavors enhances the inherent sweetness of the watermelon, crafting a harmonious balance of salty-sweet notes, reminiscent of the experience of enjoying salt-dusted watermelon slices.

Customization options are available to cater to personal preferences:

– Kiwifruit without pulp can be added at no extra cost, ideal for those who aren’t fond of kiwifruit. This modification imparts an even more refreshing character compared to the non-whipped version, especially recommended for enthusiasts of Yuzu Citrus & Tea and Passion Tea.
