The Fates Have Spoken, and Starbucks's Crystal Ball Frappuccino Is a Real Winner

Starbucks's latest concoction is here, y'all, and dare I say this is the best of the fun Frappuccino flavours yet? The Crystal Ball Frappuccino [1] is available now through March 26, and trust me when I say this is one you don't want to miss, despite some of the mixed emotions the drink is garnering [2].

The Crystal Ball Frappuccino starts with a crème Frappuccino base that is infused with peach flavour and turquoise sparkles that create an enchanting marbling effect — just like a crystal ball, get it? But the real magic happens when the peach-flavoured whipped cream is sprinkled with candy gems. The sprinkles will read your fortune, so to speak. If the sprinkles turn blue, you're destined for adventure. If they turn green, you may just get lucky. And if you get purple sprinkles, wonder and enchantment are headed your way.

Truly, this is probably my favourite Frappuccino Starbucks has ever pulled together, solely because of its simplicity and rich peach flavour. As a self-proclaimed peach fanatic, this one hits the mark. The drink tastes like a straight-up peaches and cream smoothie, and while mine wasn't as brightly coloured as some of the photos I've seen, I didn't feel like it was missing anything.

As for my sprinkles, I got green, so if you'll excuse me, I'm about to go buy seven lucky lottery tickets and start planning my next holiday.
