Unless you have been living under a rock the last few days you would have seen pictures of Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino posted all over social media.
Sadly for us its an American only drink and is only available for a few days in the USA, but as its full of dairy us vegans couldn’t drink it anyway BUT I have made a vegan gluten free inspired version we can drink! and its as tasty as it looks!
Its not 100% the same as the Starbucks one but its still so good. The Starbucks one goes from sweet to sour as you drink it, i’ve added sherbet to try and re-create this, & from what I have read it can not be made vegan as the blue syrup has milk in but my version is 100% vegan & gluten free and super tasty.
I’ve tried to use only supermarket ingredients, all the sweets came from Asda, but I had a bottle of Monin Bubble gum syrup in my cupboard so I have used that too.
If you want to make it a little more adult add a shot or two of vodka to it before you top with cream. (you can thank me later for that!)
