Custom Order: Starbucks - Chocolate Strawberry Frappuccino

I decided a Chocolate Strawberry Frappuccino from Starbucks sounded like a good idea and ordered a Grande Strawberry and Creme Frappuccino with two pumps of mocha sauce.

The price came out to $4.25 (down to $2.12 with the Happy Hour promo), which is the standard price for a Grande Strawberry and Creme Frappuccino. I think they usually charge for the extra sauce, but I'm not sure.

While it sounded like a nice idea, this turned out to be one of those "less than the sum of its parts" kinda deals. Somehow the chocolate muted the strawberry and vice versa.

On the initial sip, there were top notes of strawberry and chocolate, but they quickly faded and left a vague, watery blah-ness. On a couple of sips, I almost got that strawberry-chocolate synergy, but it vanished so quickly that I wondered if I were imagining things.

In sum, my custom order for a Chocolate Strawberry Frappuccino was pretty lackluster and I don't recommend it. Still, if your hankering to try, I suggest upping both the strawberry syrup and mocha sauce.
