Starbucks Launches New 'Unicorn Frappuccino" For Limited Time

BALTIMORE (WJZ/AP) -- Coffee with a splash of magic.

Starbucks launches their new "Unicorn Frappuccino" for a limited time. The company says the drink was inspired by a trend of unicorn-themed foods online.

The chain says the drink was inspired by the trend of unicorn-themed food online and starts out purple with a sweet and fruity taste. It changes to pink and tart after it's stirred to mix in a blue drizzle. It will be available from April 19 to April 23 in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with a 12-ounce size containing 280 calories.

Earlier this month, Seattle-based Starbucks also introduced a "Pink Drink" made with coconut milk and topped with strawberries. The company said it had previously been a customized drink that enjoyed "fandom online."
