The catch is that this is not a full-blown menu comeback. The drink will only be available at the Starbucks Coffeehouse at Coachella, and only for a few hours each day during both festival weekends, April 10 through 12 and April 17 through 19.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So yes, the Unicorn Frappuccino is coming back. But only if you happen to be in the desert.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">For those who don\u2019t know what\u2019s in it, the drink starts with a mango-syrup cream base and gets layered with a blue sour drizzle made from a white mocha and classic syrup mix, plus pink powder. It\u2019s topped with whipped cream and finished with a tangy blue-and-pink powder dusting. Starbucks went ahead and described it in the most extra way possible: \u201cAn emblem of color, and the festival\u2019s free-spirited energy, the beverage\u2019s bold hues and unexpected flavor twists mirror the creativity and individuality celebrated across the festival grounds, making it a must-have accessory for festivalgoers looking to sip something as vibrant and unforgettable as the weekend itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The Starbucks Coffeehouse will be open to all festival attendees throughout both weekends as a place to cool off and grab a drink. Along with the limited return of the Unicorn Frappuccino, the space will also include other cold drinks for attendees, with Starbucks offering a mix that includes Cold Brew, Iced Matcha Latte, and Strawberry Acai Refresher, while ready-to-drink products will be sold elsewhere around the grounds.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Starbucks says the drink will not be sold at regular stores because it relies on ingredients that aren\u2019t part of the standard coffeehouse setup, which makes this more of a one-location revival than a true nationwide comeback.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Good news for anyone already planning a weekend in Indio. Less exciting for the rest of us, who now have to accept that the Unicorn Frappuccino is back, just not in a way that\u2019s especially helpful.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read Starbucks is bringing back the Unicorn Frappuccino for Coachella 2026.
