If you are feeling cold and grey during these winter months, Starbucks has a variety of delicious and refreshing day drinks that are sure to lift your spirits! The Pink Drink, the Red Velvet Frappuccino, and the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frappuccino are all very tasty.

The Pink drink is made with fresh sliced strawberries with coconut milk, grape juice and acai base.

The Red Velvet Frappuccino is made with chocolate chips, mocha sauce, raspberry and vanilla syrup, topped with whipped cream.

The Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frappuccino is made with strawberry cream based frappuccino with java chips and topped with whipped cream with mocha drizzle.

The Caramel Frappuccino is made with milk, brewed espresso, vanilla syrup and caramel sauce.

The White Chocolate Frappuccino is made with ice, milk, coffee frappuccino syrup, coffee, white chocolate mocha sauce, vanilla syrup and topped with whipped cream.

 

The Pink Drink: “Our crisp, strawberry acai refresher beverage, with its accents of passion fruit, is combined with creamy coconutmilk. Its a fruity and refreshing sip of spring, no matter what time of year.”

During rainy days,  there are a lot of sweets people love to make and enjoy eating, as well. So, I thought to myself, what to make this rainy week? I decided to make chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered apples, cupcakes and chocolate covered pretzels. These cute little sweets are so simple to make and they taste very rich.
