Building upon the popularity of its signature Pumpkin Spice Latte, this week Starbucks is hoping to permanently add to its holiday line of seasonal drinks another classic with its brand new Savory Gravy Frappuccino.
“The Pumpkin Spice Latte taught us that people want a little taste of Thanksgiving all winter long, and that’s when it hit me: Everyone loves mashed potatoes and gravy! That’s why I’m excited to introduce the Savory Gravy Frappuccino,” said new Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan. “Three pumps of decadent gravy blended with espresso and ice, topped with a healthy scoop of whipped potatoes and a sprinkle of chives. And let me answer the question I know everyone is wondering: of course we can make it with the Oleato blend you all loved so much this year!”
Following the announcement, influencers were already partnering to promote the successor to the beloved PSL.
“I’d like to thank Starbucks for letting me be one of the first to try the Savory Gravy Frappuccino—now let’s take our first sip: Oh wow, there’s so many more chunks than I thought there’d be! It really is like having a mouthful of Thanksgiving leftovers with every sip through the wide-mouth boba-tea straw,” said influencer Kateigh Schwinn, visibly struggling to not throw up on camera. “And what a bold choice to go with ice cold gravy. It’s so delicious, but I’m going to pass on seconds just this once, it’s uh, very filling.”
For a limited time only this week, Starbucks also said its cake pops will be replaced with stuffing pops coated in a rich shell of turkey dripping fat.
