Tomorrow, December 26th, Starbucks will have the last new drink of the year (2016) . "Chocolate Banana Coco" and "Chocolate Banana Coco Frappuccino" that combine chocolate and banana.

At the same time, "White Chocolate Banana Coco" and "White Chocolate Banana Frappuccino" using white chocolate will also be on sale. All four drinks do not use coffee. It seems that the image of a dessert is roasted banana with chocolate and fresh cream.


When I drank it a little earlier, it turned out that the taste was completely different between chocolate ver. And white chocolate ver.! It seems that people have different tastes.

◆ Black and white hot chocolate

Chocolate Banana Coco is a hot drink that is a mixture of chocolate drink with milk added to chocolate sauce and "roasted banana base" (roasted with sugar added to banana and caramelized). … It looks delicious just in writing!



It is topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a sponge cake crumble "Yellow Banana Cake" that is kneaded and baked with bananas.


Just bring the cup close to your mouth and the rich scent of chocolate and banana will soften. The fluffy milk foam that you can feel at a glance and the moist sponge's mouthfeel are happy ...!

In addition, the roasted banana base is caramelized, so it has a distinctive flavor. The bittersweetness and richness of the thick chocolate sauce are entwined, and the chocolate x banana flavor continues to the end.

On the other hand, White Chocolate Banana Coco is made by mixing white mocha syrup with milk and roast banana base, topped with whipped cream, white chocolate sauce, and yellow banana cake.


As the chocolate becomes white chocolate, you can enjoy a milky taste with a stronger milk richness. Is it more like banana milk than chocolate banana?

A hot drink where you can fully enjoy the mellow sweetness. However, it doesn't have a burning sweetness, and the gorgeous scent of white chocolate tickles your nose comfortably after swallowing.

◆ Black and white Frappuccino

Chocolate Banana Coco Frappuccino is a frappuccino with a cream base and chocolate sauce mixed with a roast banana base and "wheat puff chocolate", topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and yellow banana cake.


Plenty of wheat puff chocolate that jumps into your mouth every time you smoke with a straw. It's fluffy. It is crispy at first, and it is fun to change the texture as it absorbs moisture and becomes moist over time!


The classic combination of chocolate and banana and the texture of wheat chocolate puffs that dance in your mouth make you feel like you're back in your childhood.


On the other hand, White Chocolate Banana Frappuccino is a frappuccino that uses white mocha syrup and white chocolate sauce instead of chocolate sauce. The white appearance like a snowy landscape is also attractive because it looks like winter.


The creamy taste with a milky taste matches the aroma of roasted bananas. Although it should be a combination of various sweet ingredients, the mouth is sharp and clean.

◆ The strong presence of bananas is ...

Personally, I could feel the presence (mainly fragrance) of banana in chocolate (black). The impression that milky comes first for white chocolate.

However, when asked which one you like, it might be white chocolate! It doesn't have the strong sweetness that white chocolate tends to have, and the balance between the milky texture and the fluffy roasted banana is very good .


Chocolate x banana is an iron plate combination that has been around for a long time, but by adding a "roasted feeling" to bananas, a new "adult chocolate banana drink" can be created.

You can increase the amount of whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and yellow banana cake that are topped for free. Wheat puff chocolate can be added for 50 yen.

For the recommended customization, try "Add espresso shot" (+50 yen) for those who want to add bitterness, and "Add caramel sauce" (free) for those who want to pursue the sweetness.
