S'mores Frappé

Our S’mores Mocha covers the three real components — chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and graham — this is the same combination, blended into a frappé instead of steamed and poured.

Make the Sauce First (Just Once)

This recipe assumes you already have a jar of Mocha Sauce in the fridge. If you haven’t made a batch yet, go do that first, then come back here.

Building the Frappé

1. Pull a double shot of espresso.
2. Add the espresso, 2 tbsp Mocha Sauce, 1 tbsp toasted marshmallow syrup, 4oz cold milk, and 1.5 cups of ice to a blender.
3. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy.
4. Pour into a 16oz glass, top with crushed graham crackers, and serve immediately with a straw.

Café-style blended s’mores/toasted marshmallow drink (grande)~$7.15

Home s’mores frappé (espresso, milk, ice, sauce, syrup, graham)~$0.97

Savings per drink$6.18

The sauce batch itself is a one-time ~$1.30 and makes about 12 drinks. Assumptions: grande-size blended drink, national-average pricing for a specialty seasonal/campfire-flavor blended drink, dairy milk, a standard bottled toasted marshmallow syrup, and a standard sleeve of graham crackers. At 5 of these a week over the site’s standard 48-week year, that’s roughly $1,483/year back in your pocket versus the café version.

Swaps & Notes

• No espresso machine? Strong cold brew or a double-strength moka pot shot both work fine.
• Want it poured over ice instead of blended? That’s just the S’mores Mocha’s iced build — same ingredients, poured instead of blended.
• Want it less sweet? Drop the marshmallow syrup to 1/2 tbsp.
• Want a real torched marshmallow on top instead of just the syrup? Broil 1-2 whole mini marshmallows for 30-90 seconds until deeply golden and set them on the whipped cream before the graham topping — see our plating guide for the exact timing and method.

FAQ

Can I make this without a blender?

The S’mores Mocha’s iced build uses the same ingredients poured over ice instead — a completely valid version, just a different texture.

Do I need to make the sauce every time?

No — one batch keeps about 2 weeks in the fridge and covers roughly 12 drinks across the mocha and frappé versions combined.

Does the graham cracker topping get soggy fast?

A little, yes — it’s a garnish, not a mix-in, so it’s best added right before serving rather than ahead of time, and eaten within the first few minutes for the best crunch.
