Summary
Starbucks said its Unicorn Frappuccino will return to U.S. coffeehouses for one weekend later this summer, with the exact date still unannounced.
The drink built its cult status during a five-day 2017 run that drove a social-media frenzy, including more than 150,000 Instagram posts under #unicornfrappuccino.
Starbucks already tested the comeback at Coachella in April 2026, serving the color-changing pink-and-purple drink for a few hours each day and calling it a fan favorite.
The original launch also triggered barista backlash over messy, labor-intensive preparation and ingredient shortages; Starbucks says it will provide training and support for a smoother rollout.
