Starbucks Baristas Bust Out Secret “Joker” Frappuccino

At this point, it’s nigh impossible to escape Joker-mania. With some media outlets stirring fears of gun-toting incels and others taking a hardline stance against the film’s quality, the Joaquin Phoenix-led flick has certainly garnered a slight bit of controversy. And yet fans have been singing its praises, with some even labeling it among the genre’s best offerings. Should you count yourselves among that group, you can officially represent your Joker adoration with a special, limited edition secret Starbucks beverage.

If you’re looking for instructions on how to order the custom Joker Frappuccino from your local Starbucks, Hypebeast has the answers. Luckily, it does not include laughing like The Joker, or any variation of a Joker impression. Simply inquire after the beverage, albeit during a quieter time; due to the various layers, it takes a little bit of time to put together. Not to mention the fact that these “secret menu” items aren’t officially Starbucks affiliated, and therefore, a Barista might not know how to put this one together off top. Still, it’s nothing you can’t walk them through, provided you’ve got the recipe on deck. 

The drink itself features green whipped cream and a hint of chocolate (the hair), mixed in with Starbucks’ Matcha Green Tea Creme Frappuccino (the base). As for the iconic smile, you can thank carefully placed strawberry syrup for that. Should you be so inclined, ask your most trusted barista about this one when you have a chance.
