DIY Unicorn Frappuccino

DIY Unicorn Frappuccino

It’s not too late to get your hands on the hottest drink around.  You might have heard that Starbucks introduced a new Unicorn Frappuccino only available for a limited time.  Within days it was sold out at many locations.  If you are unlucky like me, you found yourself not able to try one.  Well, I have good news for you.

You can make your own Unicorn Frappuccino.  This homemade version of the hottest craze around is simple to make.  Most ingredients you probably already have in your pantry with the exception of mango syrup.  This is why I made a special Facebook video showing how to make this Mango Syrup.  

If you want to make your own Unicorn Frappuccino, here is what you will need:
