Starbucks' seasonal limited beverage ``Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino'' has a refreshing sweet and sour flavor with a strawberry scent that fills your mouth.

As the 2023 holiday season begins at Starbucks, limited-time beverages `` Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino '' and `` Strawberry Merry Cream Tea Latte '' will be released on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino is said to have a rich taste of whipped cream made with mascarpone cheese and strawberry sauce combined with a vanilla-flavored body, so I tried it right away.

I came to Starbucks. Inside the store, Christmas songs such as 'Jingle Bells' and 'Let it Snow' were playing as background music.

At the store, there was a tapestry announcing the arrival of Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino and Strawberry Merry Cream Tea Latte.

I immediately ordered Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino (700 yen including tax).

The top is topped with merry cream, and red strawberry powder and silver sugar are sprinkled on top.

Viewed from the side. The white body of Frappuccino is mixed with red strawberry sauce.

First of all, I scooped only the merry cream with a spoon and tried eating it. Since the cream is made with mascarpone cheese, it has a smoother texture and is richer than regular whipped cream. However, the taste itself is slightly sweet and creamy, and the cheese flavor is not that strong. The strawberry powder sprinkled on top gives it a refreshing sweet and sour taste, and the silver sugar adds a gentle sweetness.

I tried the Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino. The chunky strawberry pulp adds an accent to the crunchy texture of the Frappuccino. The sourness of the strawberry sauce is well balanced with the sweetness of the white vanilla-flavored body, giving it an impression of not being too sweet. After drinking it, the strawberry scent lingered in my mouth, and the aftertaste was refreshing.

I ordered a hot Strawberry Merry Cream Tea Latte (Tall, 600 yen including tax).

Topped with merry cream, strawberry powder, and silver sugar. Unlike Frappuccino, which uses a straw, you drink by touching the cup with your mouth, so the smooth merry cream, sourness of strawberry powder, and sweetness of silver sugar first spread in your mouth, and then you can enjoy the bright flavor of Earl Gray milk tea. I did.

Strawberry Merry Cream Frappuccino and Strawberry Merry Cream Tea Latte can be ordered at Starbucks stores nationwide for a limited time from November 1, 2023 (Wednesday) to November 28, 2023 (Tuesday).
