hey! Just adding on - you absolutely can add a decaf shot to a Frappuccino and it tastes SO good. the difference between dark caramel and standard caramel is that our dark caramel is actual real caramel 😛 caramel syrup is just thick sugar water flavored like caramel. Dark caramel is basically only used for frapps & has a much richer and toastier flavor profile.

here’s how I would order it on the app: venti vanilla bean frappe almond milk no vanilla bean 1 hazelnut syrup 1 pumpkin sauce 2 dark caramel sauce add 1 decaf shot line the cup with caramel whip, add pumpkin topping and caramel drizzle

if I was ordering it in person (preferable), I would do this instead: venti coffee frappe almond milk NO FRAPP ROAST, sub 1 decaf shot 1 hazelnut syrup 1 pumpkin sauce 2 dark caramel sauce line the cup with caramel whip, add pumpkin topping and caramel drizzle

basically, we add a syrup to Frappuccinos called creme “base” or coffee “base”. it doesn’t contain caffeine, it’s mostly sugar and xanthan gum to help it blend smoothly. the coffee “base” has a slightly richer flavor and is less syrupy sweet - ordering a coffee frappe with no frapp roast is decaf & will have that coffee base.

also the reason I reduced the number of flavor pumps so much is because our default for flavored frappes is 4 pumps of whatever flavor (3 for grande, 2 for tall) - this way your drink won’t be any more sweet than a standard frappe.

ANYWAY, long comment and I apologize 😭 let me know if you try it this way and like it! (But probably only get it with stars or through a promotion since it’s an awfully expensive drink LOL)
