Butterscotch Mocha Frappé

This isn’t a repeat of our plain Buttered Toffee Frappé or any other single-flavor frappé on the site — our Butterscotch Mocha pairs real chocolate against real butter-and-brown-sugar butterscotch, split 1 tbsp each. This blends that same combo with espresso, milk, and ice into a proper slushy frappé instead of pouring it over cubes.

Make Both Bases First (Just Once)

This recipe assumes you already have a jar each of Mocha Sauce and Butterscotch Syrup in the fridge. They don’t keep the same length of time: the mocha sauce lasts about 2 weeks, but the butterscotch syrup only about 1, since real butter and cream go into it instead of a shelf-stable sugar syrup.

Building the Frappé

1. Pull a double shot of espresso (about 2oz), or brew strong coffee/cold brew instead.
2. Add the espresso, 1 tbsp of the mocha sauce, 1 tbsp of the butterscotch syrup, 1.5 cups of ice, and 4oz cold milk to a blender.
3. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy.
4. Pour into a 16oz glass, top with whipped cream and a butterscotch drizzle if using, and serve immediately with a straw.

Café grande butterscotch mocha Frappuccino-style blended drink (specialty-menu pricing)$7.00

Home butterscotch mocha frappé (espresso, milk, ice, both bases)~$0.65

Savings per drink$6.35

Both bases together cost about $2.95 total to make (~$1.30 for the Mocha Sauce batch, ~$1.65 for the Butterscotch Syrup batch) — the same pair of jars behind the latte version. Plan to use the butterscotch side within about a week.

Assumptions: grande-size blended drink, specialty-menu pricing for a two-flavor combo Frappuccino-style drink, dairy milk, $16/lb specialty beans or equivalent grocery beans. No seasonal ceiling — at 5 a week over the site’s standard 48-week year, that’s roughly $1,524/year back in your pocket versus the café version. The $7.00 café baseline is the average of two real, dated receipts (9/29/2026) from two different store locations — $6.90 and $7.10 — for a grande hot seasonal specialty drink, not a modeled national average.

Swaps & Notes

• No espresso machine? Strong cold brew or a moka pot shot both work fine.
• This isn’t the same as our plain flavor frappés. Butterscotch mocha combines real chocolate with real butter-and-brown-sugar butterscotch — a genuinely different, two-base drink, not a repeat of a single-syrup frappé.
• Want it more chocolate-forward or more butterscotch-forward? Shift the ratio — 1.5 tbsp mocha sauce + 0.5 tbsp butterscotch syrup leans chocolate, or the reverse leans butterscotch.
• Prefer it poured over ice instead of blended? See the Butterscotch Mocha and use its Hot/Iced toggle.
• Watching sugar? Swap in the Sugar-Free Mocha Sauce and Sugar-Free Butterscotch Syrup (same 1 tbsp each method) for a lower-sugar build — blend it with ice yourself for a frappé version today.

FAQ

Do I need a whole new syrup for this, or does it reuse the latte’s jars?

It reuses the same 1 tbsp each of Mocha Sauce and Butterscotch Syrup behind the latte version — this page just blends instead of pours.

Isn’t this the same as your other caramel or toffee frappés?

No — this is chocolate plus real butter-and-brown-sugar butterscotch, a distinct flavor from the site’s plain caramel or buttered toffee frappés, which don’t include any chocolate at all.

Can I make this without a blender?

Yes — the iced Butterscotch Mocha uses the exact same espresso, milk, and syrup quantities poured over ice instead of blended.
