In a move that is sure to excite coffee lovers in Jordan, Starbucks is bringing back two of its most loved summer beverages: the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino and the Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino.

Back by popular demand, the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino is a creamy iced frappé classic that combines chocolate, milk and cookies in perfect harmony. Composed of mocha sauce, milk, vanilla, chocolate shavings, Chantilly cream and a delicious crumbly cookie topping, the drink reveals a subtle mix of flavours. The perfect beverage to delight your taste buds!

Coffee lovers who prefer a fruity beverage can celebrate the return of the ever popular Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino made with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Inspired by the much-loved country style treat, strawberries and cream, this thirst-quencher is bursting with natural fruity flavours and is topped off with a perfect swirl of whipped cream.

Commenting on the return of these favourites, Rana Shaheen, Starbucks Regional Communications and CSR manager in the MENA region, said: “Whereas we like to bring new and fresh beverages to the market, we also want to ensure we cater to the preferences of our valuable customers. The Mocha Cookie Crumble and Strawberries and Cream Frappuccinos are two of the most requested Frappuccino blended beverages, and we’re pleased to have them on offer to our customers across the MENA region for the second year.
