National Frappe Day 2023: Frappes are a beloved among people of all ages and preferences. From Cupcake Creme to Peanut Butter Cup and beyond, frappes are unquestionably an American institution in the coffee-drinking world. Therefore, it seems appropriate to dedicate an entire day to this legendary beverage. National Frappe Day is on October 7, and you can guarantee that millions of people will be celebrating with you.
It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. Dimitris Vakondios created the first frappé at the 1957 Thessaloniki International Fair in Thessaloniki, Greece, out of a desire for caffeine. Vakondios was representing the Swiss-owned Nestlé food company at the annual international exhibition, where Nestle was introducing a new instant chocolate beverage made with milk and agitated in a shaker. During his break, Vakondios was unable to locate hot water to prepare his usual Nescafe instant coffee, so he improvised by combining Nescafe with cold water and ice in one of the exhibit shakers. That’s it! The resulting beverage was the first Greek café frappé, a gratifying and refreshing cold foamy coffee beverage. Greek frappé is not only the most popular coffee beverage in Greece and Cyprus, but also the country’s designated national coffee beverage.
Popular American versions of the Greek frappé include milk, cream, or even ice cream incorporated with instant coffee, whereas the authentic Greek frappé does not contain milk products. The most significant fact about a Greek frappé, according to the Greeks, is that it contains no ice cream and is shaken until foamy.

Starbucks’ Frappuccino is a compromise between the original Greek coffee frappé and a smoothie; the company acquired the recipe 26 years ago. The only consistent similarity between a frappé and a Frappuccino is that both are foam-topped chilled blended beverages. A Greek frappé consists of instant coffee, ice, and chilled water, with sugar being optional. Always sweet, the Frappuccino formulation may or may not contain coffee.
Frappuccino is the Starbucks Corporation’s registered trademark for its blended cold coffee beverages. Frappuccino is comprised of coffee or other flavored creamy bases, ice, and a variety of flavorings, and is typically crowned with whipped cream, flavored syrups, and candies such as chocolate chips.
The answer is arbitrary. If you count carbohydrates and sugars, you might conclude that they are extremely unhealthy. A 16-ounce caramel Frappuccino prepared with 2% milk contains 270 calories, 60 grams of carbohydrates, and 59 grams of sugar.
