Copycat Firework Frappuccino Recipe

What Is the Firework Frappuccino?

The Firework Frappuccino is a limited-edition Starbucks-inspired drink made with vanilla crème, raspberry drizzle, and popping candy on top. It’s colorful, sweet, and has that satisfying “fizz” effect, just like a summer firework in your mouth.

I first tried it at a Starbucks pop-up years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. When it vanished from the menu, I tested dozens of versions until I landed on this perfect Starbucks Firework Frappuccino recipe, equal parts creamy, fruity, and fun.

It’s similar in spirit to other secret menu favorites like the Strato Frappuccino, Summer Skies Drink, and the dreamy Midnight Drink Starbucks Recipe. But this one stands out for its vibrant layers and playful texture.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You don’t need fancy syrups or Starbucks machines, just a blender and a few simple ingredients.

• 1 cup milk (any kind works)
• 1 cup ice
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or ½ cup vanilla crème base)
• 2 tbsp raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tbsp blue raspberry drizzle (optional but aesthetic)
• 2 tbsp whipped cream
• 1 tsp popping candy (Pop Rocks work great)

(If you’ve tried making a Starbucks Raspberry Drink Recipe before, you’ll already have most of these ingredients. You can also substitute the raspberry syrup with the Starbucks Raspberry Pearls Recipe for extra texture.)

Step-by-Step: How to Make the Firework Frappuccino

To make a Firework Frappuccino at home, blend vanilla base, layer it with raspberry syrup, and finish with whipped cream and popping candy.

Here’s the full process:

1. Blend the base: Combine milk, ice, and vanilla ice cream in a blender until smooth.
2. Create the swirl: Drizzle raspberry syrup along the inside of your glass.
3. Pour and layer: Add the blended base, then drizzle a bit more syrup on top.
4. Top it off: Add whipped cream and sprinkle popping candy for that “firework” fizz.

That’s it, your homemade Starbucks Firework Frappuccino Recipe is ready to sip. It looks just like the ones on TikTok, but tastes even better because it’s fresh and customizable.

Pro tip: Use clear glasses for that picture-perfect “firework” swirl.

Variations You’ll Want to Try

Once you’ve nailed the base recipe, you can easily switch things up:

• Summer Skies Drink Recipe: Replace raspberry syrup with blue curaçao syrup or blueberry drizzle.
• Caffeine Kick: Add a shot of espresso for a Midnight Drink Starbucks twist.
• Dairy-Free Option: Swap ice cream for coconut milk or almond milk.
• Firework Frappuccino for Kids: Skip the caffeine and popping candy, add colorful sprinkles instead.

Each variation brings its own vibe, from bold and tangy to mellow and creamy.

Serving & Storage Tips

Frappuccinos are best enjoyed right away, cold, creamy, and fizzy. But if you need to prep ahead, here’s how to do it:

• Blend the base, refrigerate for up to 3 hours, and add toppings right before serving.
• Always add the popping candy just before drinking, as it loses its sparkle fast.

(Curious about cost? The Starbucks Frappuccino price in usa is around 6$, but this homemade version costs less than a third of that.)

Expert Tips for Best Results

• Use crushed ice instead of large cubes for smoother blending.
• Chill your glass before pouring for a frosty look.
• For a bolder color, mix raspberry and blueberry syrups; it looks like fireworks exploding in a glass.

This recipe also works as a Summer Refresher Recipe, perfect for parties or sunny weekends.
