Discover the Rich Depth of Cocoa
This year's Valentine's theme revolves around savoring the deep, luscious flavors of cocoa. The
Cocoa & Strawberry Mousse Frappuccino® features a creamy cocoa base enriched with hazelnut-flavored syrup, resulting in a smooth, dessert-like experience.

Topped with light chocolate mousse and a shiny red berry glaze, alongside crunchy strawberry-flavored candy, this frappuccino is a feast for both the eyes and palate—offering new flavors with every sip.
On the other hand, the
Cocoa Mousse Latte provides a warm, comforting alternative. This drink combines bitter yet deep cocoa sauce with aromatic espresso, creating a perfect harmony. The velvety chocolate mousse gradually melts into the latte, blending the rich cocoa aroma with milky sweetness. Topped with shaved cocoa, each sip offers a pleasing bitter note that lingers on the palate, providing a moment of tranquility amidst a busy day. This beverage encourages you to take a deep breath and embrace the calming effect of cocoa, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat on Valentine’s Day.
