Beware the Frappuccino coma.
In case you didn't get enough Starbucks drinks based upon mythical creatures, fear not: three more unofficial Frappuccino flavors have entered the scene.
In the wake of the Unicorn Frappuccino's untimely demise, and just in time for the return of Frappuccino Happy Hour, May 5-14 (half-price Frappuccinos from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.), the Dragon, Narwhal, and Mermaid drinks are available off of Starbucks' ever-mysterious "secret menu" for those brave enough to ask.
In addition, the wildly popular S'mores Frappuccino is back on the menu for the summer, along with the debut of the Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino, an "extra-dark" drink, which the coffee chain says is the whimsical Unicorn Frappuccino's direct opposite.
Here's a breakdown on what's in each of these blissful, sugar-laden drinks:
S'mores: Just like the gooey goodness enjoyed over a campfire, this drink is made of marshmallow-infused whipped cream, chocolate sauce, coffee, milk, and ice, then topped with more marshmallow-infused whipped cream and a graham cracker crumble dusting.

Midnight Mint Mocha: Reminscent of the summertime's "dark starry nights," according to Starbucks' press release, this beverage combines scoops of extra-dark cocoa, cooling mint sugar crystals, coffee, milk, and ice, followed by a cut of whipped cream, then topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of even more dark cocoa.

Dragon (from the secret menu, shhhh!): It's basically a Green Tea Crème Frappuccino with additional vanilla bean powder and berry cup swirls.

Narwhal (another secret menu creation): Blended strawberry lemonade combined with vanilla bean powder and a swirl of whipped cream.


Of course, customers can always request special flavor combos and handcrafted Frappuccinos in up to 36,000 ways, says Starbucks spokesperson Jarryd Boyd. Just make sure you have the recipe at hand so the barista can make exactly what you're craving.
