Heavy rotation decision this summer! 4 exquisite drinks made by Starbucks "Frozen Drink Maker"

"Frozen Drink Maker" (3,000 yen plus tax) is on sale at Starbucks and online stores nationwide this year as well. Kitchenware that allows you to easily make "frozen drinks" without using special tools or electricity. It became a hot topic last year, and some stores sold out early.


By the way, this year, the eating editorial department finally got a frozen drink maker! After trying various ingredients, I've created an insanely delicious frozen water of God, so I will introduce it! There is no doubt that it will be heavy this summer.

◆ How to make frozen drinks

First, let's review how to use it. Well, it's not as easy as I'll explain.

Frozen drink makers are divided into "outer sleeve (outer container)" and "inner core (inner container)", so cool the removed inner core in the freezer for 8 to 18 hours.


Next, set the inner core on the outer sleeve and pour your favorite drink inside. After 1 to 2 minutes, it will become crispy from the place near the inner wall, so freeze the whole while stirring with the attached long spoon.




Finally, add toppings and decorations to your liking and you're done!

◆ Milk x Oreo

My favorite is the American combination of "milk" and "Oreo". The refreshing sweetness and bittersweetness are perfect for summer, and the texture of the cookies can be enjoyed, so I was satisfied!


Set the frozen inner core on the outer sleeve and pour the milk. When the whole thing is crispy, add as many Oreos as you like here! Mix the whole while crushing with a spoon.


When I drank the finished drink ... What a hell !! The crispy bitter cookie goes well with the cool and refreshing frozen milk! It's sweet and bittersweet, and I can't stop refilling.

◆ "Frappe style" with chilled cup beverage

You can also make "Frappuccino-style" drinks with Starbucks chilled cup beverages that you can buy at convenience stores. It's also convenient when you want to go to Starbucks but there is no store nearby.


Starbucks chilled cup "Cafe au lait" procured at a convenience store. When I tried to freeze this, it became a "frozen latte" that was cold and crispy and melted smoothly when I put it in my mouth.


The aroma of roasted coffee beans, the pleasant bitterness, and the mellow sweetness. Freezing will improve the sharpness of the taste, so you can drink it more refreshingly than just drinking it from a chilled cup.

◆ “Sangria style” with red wine

If you want to enjoy it a little more maturely, add fruit to frozen red wine to make it "Sangria-style".


The crispy frozen wine melts and spreads on your tongue like a noble dessert. This time, I topped it with sweet and sour fruits such as strawberries and berries, but I wonder if citrus fruits such as apples, bananas, and oranges are acceptable! Also, adding a little cinnamon will increase the sangria-like taste.


However, even if it's casual and crisp, it 's alcohol , so I'll get drunk sooner or later. Please be careful about the timing and amount of drinking!

◆ Drinking yogurt + granola

When I tried to freeze the yogurt that I drink, I got a frozen drink that I could drink lightly even on days when I had no appetite due to the heat. It's even better to top it with granola.


The crispy mouthfeel and the sourness of yogurt are cool. It cools down your body the moment you take a sip.


With the crispness and fragrant taste of granola, it's not just a drink, but a breakfast or a light meal when you're hungry!

◆ What do you recommend for Starbucks?

By the way, Starbucks recommends the stick-type flavored coffee "VIA" mocha or caramel that you can buy at the store. Add a bottle of via and 180 ml of cold milk and mix to create a full-fledged frozen latte. If you like, you can enjoy the taste closer to the store by topping with whipped cream or sauce!
