Does Starbucks bottled Frappuccino need to be refrigerated? 

The other day I popped into the corner store near my house and I bought a Starbucks bottled Frappuccino and then I was wondering whether I should put it in the fridge or not. If that’s crossed your mind recently, stick around, I’m going to talk about the ins and outs of Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos and how to keep them fresh. 

Let’s get started.

Does Starbucks bottled Frappuccino need to be refrigerated? 

Unopened Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos don’t necessarily need to be in a fridge as they can stay fresh without going bad at a room’s temperature (20°C or 68°F). However, if you’ve opened your Frappuccino bottle, it’s wise to put it in the fridge and have it as soon as possible.

Starbucks Frappuccino bottles have been around since 1995 and are drinks that have as their main ingredients coffee, milk and other ingredients depending on each bottle’s flavour.

What does a bottled Frappuccino taste like? 

Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos are delicious and refreshing.

They are refreshing as they are refrigerated and be kept cool in the fridge of supermarkets or corner stores, ideal on a boiling hot day. Plus, they are delicious combining various flavours. For example, Mocha Frappuccino is great, made with coffee milk and Mocha as their main ingredients, a real infusion of flavours. 

Why should go for a bottled Frappuccino? 

Don’t get me wrong Frappuccinos at Starbucks are equally fantastic. But the good thing with bottled Frappuccinos is that, unlike Frappuccinos you order at Starbucks cafes, you don’t need to wait in a queue to order them – walk into the corner store near your house and get 1 in less than 2 minutes. 

Starbucks Frappuccino coffee bottles where to buy

The good news is that you can find those Starbucks Frappuccino bottles pretty much everywhere. You can find them online on Amazon or Walmart or you can even get to the nearest corner store or supermarket, you’ll find them in the fridge.

Starbucks Frappuccino coffee bottles price

Their price ranges from around $3 to $5 depending on where you buy them from. For example, if you buy them from a corner store the odds are that are going to be more expensive than the ones you get from a supermarket. Similarly, if you buy them online in bulk, the chances are you’re going to pay less per bottle.

Most of them contain caffeine as one of their main ingredients is coffee, except those made with decaf coffee are caffeine free which is good news for those tolerant to caffeine.

You can get those on Walmart and Amazon; their price is good (around $6 to $7) and there’s a range of different flavours to choose from. 

Do Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos go bad? 

Much like with almost all products, Starbucks bottled Frappuccinos go bad. 

The first thing you should do is check the expiring date. 

Then, if your bottled Frappuccino is sealed it’s OK to keep it outside the fridge for a couple of hours, but if you have already opened it’s vital to pop it in the fridge and have it as soon as possible, otherwise, it starts to go bad and loses some of its flavours. 

If you’ve kept your opened bottled Frappucino in your fridge for hours and when you taste it you realise that its taste has changed, it’s wise to get rid of it; it’s not worth the risk of having an upset stomach for a few Frappuccino sips.

Expired Starbucks bottled Frappuccino

Let’s talk about expired Starbucks bottled Frappuccino and what you should do in this case. 

Can you drink an expired opened bottled Frappuccino?

It’s not a great idea to drink expired bottled Frappuccino.

The health repercussions might not be major – you’ll most likely have a stomach ache for a couple of days and feel unsettled, but other than that, you won’t have any other major issues. 

But it’s NOT wise to drink expired bottled Frappuccino as its taste is going to be weird and unpleasant. If you’re a true coffee lover and drink nothing but delicious coffee, you can’t really do this to yourself. 

It’s wise to throw the expired bottle away and get a new one that hasn’t expired. 

Can you drink an expired unopened bottled Frappuccino?

Similar to opened bottled Frappuccino, it’s not a good idea to drink expired Frappuccino.

The taste is going to be spoiled and it’s definitely NOT going to be a pleasant experience. Coffee should be enjoyable any time you have it – drinking a bottled Frappuccino that has gone off isn’t going to be a pleasant experience at all. 

How to tell your bottled Frappuccino is safe to drink

Normally, a good bottled Frappucino taste has an infusion of flavours with its most distinct ones being coffee and milk. If, for any reason, you think that your Frappuccino isn’t good, a great rule of thumb is to a have small sip to see whether it tastes OK or not. If you’re NOT convinced about its taste, it’s wise to throw it away and get another one. 

The best way to store leftover bottled Frappuccino

The best way to store leftover bottled Frappucino is to freeze it. 

In case you didn’t manage to have it all, don’t throw it away; pop it into your freezer instead. 

But here’s the deal: 

If you take it out of the freezer, you can’t put it back in, you should have it within 2 hours after you took it out of the freezer. 

Top tip: when you take it out of the fridge and before you drink it, give it a good shake so coffee, milk and the rest of the ingredients are mixed up together seamlessly
