I absolutely love Starbucks Frappuccinos, but if I went there every day, I would seriously break the bank. It’s about $5 a day for a Frap which is $35 per week, $140 a month, and $1680 per year. The best thing to do is to make your favorite copycat coffee drinks at home for a fraction of the cost. This cherry mocha frappuccino is super easy to make and saves you some serious moolah.
The more DIY coffee drinks I make at home, the more I realize there is almost an endless combination of flavors. When I first started trying Starbucks copycat drinks at home, I started with the most popular ones.
My first copycat drink was the iced chai latte because I was obsessed with them at the time. I wanted to stop in and grab one every day. Once I realized how easy they were to make, I cut down my coffee trips and set out to make more DIY coffee drinks at home.
What is a Cherry Frappuccino?
Just like a Frappuccino you would get at Starbucks, the Cherry Frappe is one you can make at home. It’s a combination of coffee or espresso, sweet flavorings, and topped with cherries. You are going to love it!
If you like Starbucks Frappuccinos, you will love this delicious Mocha Cherry Frappuccino. It’s just like your Mocha Frappe with a little cherry taste. But who doesn’t like chocolate and cherries?
How Much Money Will I Save Making My Own Coffee Drinks?
Like I said above, I could spend about $5 per day at Starbucks. Depending on what size drink you get, you the average is $3.43 to $4.43 per drink at Starbucks. However, there are some that are about $7 a piece if you have a more expensive taste.
With the averages, you are spending at the least $1,221 per year buying Starbucks. Being able to make drinks like this at home really adds up!
