Starbucks Review: Pistachio Frappuccino
This is basically the opposite of the cortado.
Visually, it’s much more what you expect from a Starbucks drink — blended, creamy, usually topped, and clearly more of a treat.
The first sip is smooth and sweet. The pistachio is more noticeable here than in the cortado or latte, but it’s still not super strong.
It comes through as a soft, nutty flavour mixed into a creamy base.
The sweetness is definitely higher here. It leans into dessert territory pretty quickly.
Texture is thick and blended, exactly what you want from a Frappuccino.
It’s easy to drink, but also filling. You’re not casually sipping this every day.
This is one of those drinks where the flavour works, but it’s more about the experience than the depth of flavour.
Final Verdict:
Creamy, sweet, and easy to drink. A pistachio dessert more than a coffee.
