The drink that broke Instagram in 2017 is finally getting a Singapore run — and it is a short one. Starbucks Singapore is selling the Unicorn Frappuccino for three days only: Saturday 15 to Monday 17 August 2026.
> Quick view: Unicorn Frappuccino · Grande size only · Sat 15 – Mon 17 Aug 2026 · stores islandwide + Mobile Order & Pay · 19 outlets excluded · while stocks last · Nutri-Grade C, 8% sugar · price not published. Also live: Bear-Verage Bearista plush keychains from TODAY (12 Aug), $19.90 each · collectible Lightbox from 17 Aug, in-store only.
What's actually in it
Starbucks Singapore's build is a cream Frappuccino, not a coffee one: coconut milk blended with Strawberry Açaí and Mango Dragonfruit flavours, then finished with blueberry and white chocolate sauce, Mango Dragonfruit powder and blueberry powder. The result is the pink-and-blue swirl on the poster — fruity and sweet rather than the sour-then-sweet colour-changing gimmick of the original 2017 US version.
It is Grande size only. Starbucks has not printed a price on the campaign artwork, so treat the menu board as the source of truth. The artwork does carry a Nutri-Grade C label at 8% sugar, which for reference is the same grade and sugar level Coffee Bean's blended drinks are carrying this month.
The exclusion list is the real story
The drink is available at Starbucks stores across Singapore and on Mobile Order & Pay — except at 19 outlets:
> Asia Square Tower · CityHouse · Frasers Tower · Biopolis · Cintec 4 · SIM · Science Park Road · Labrador Tower · Mapletree · NUS Wet Science · Samsung Hub · TechnoEdge · SMU · One George · 78 Shenton Way · Concourse · Gateway · Plaza 8 · Singapore Land Towers
Read the list rather than skimming it. Almost every name is a CBD office tower or a campus store — Shenton Way, Raffles Place, Biopolis, Science Park, SMU, SIM, NUS. Those are the outlets that close or run short hours at weekends, and this promo runs Saturday to Monday. So the practical translation is simple: do not plan to grab one on the way into the office, and if Monday 17 August is your only free day, a CBD store is the one place it may not be waiting for you. Mall and heartland outlets are the safe bet.
The other half of the drop: Bearista Bear-Verage keychains
Launching today, 12 August 2026, at $19.90 each — four plush keychains shaped like Starbucks drinks, each with a Starbucks logo patch and a keyring:
- Java Chip Frappuccino — brown body with a whipped-cream-style top
- Americano — coffee-brown with a fluffy white lid
- Strawberry Matcha Latte — pink with a striped straw detail
- Frozen Dragon Drink Refreshers — the green-and-red one
Where and when:
| Channel | On sale from |
|---|---|
| Participating Starbucks stores | Store opening, 12 Aug |
| Starbucks Singapore online store | 10am, 12 Aug |
| LazMall | 12pm, 12 Aug |
| Shopee Mall | 12pm, 12 Aug |
All of it is while stocks last, and stock varies by outlet — call your branch before making a trip for one specific design.
And on 17 August, a collectible Starbucks Lightbox featuring the siren logo joins the line-up as a decorative display piece. That one is in stores only — it is not listed for the online store, LazMall or Shopee Mall — and no price has been published.
Fine print worth knowing
- Three days is three days. There is no stated restock for the Unicorn Frappuccino, and it is while stocks last. Day one, mid-afternoon, is when novelty drinks disappear.
- Grande only — there is no Tall or Venti version of this to trade down or up to.
- The $4.90 Tall week does not apply. That separate Starbucks Rewards offer ran 11–14 August and had already ended before the Unicorn weekend starts; it is also Tall-sized and counter-only. Note that reporting on it has been inconsistent — some outlets described it as two Tall drinks for $9.90 within a 2pm–8pm window, while the campaign wording and our own breakdown have it as any Tall at $4.90 each, minimum two in one order, with the Kaya Toast Series and Reserve beverages excluded. Confirm at the till.
- Mobile Order & Pay works for the drink — which is the single best tool you have against a queue on a three-day novelty item. It does not work for the merchandise.
- The keychains and Lightbox are merchandise, not F&B — no drink purchase is required, and no Rewards beverage promo applies to them.
Tips
- Go Saturday, not Monday. Three-day runs skew toward selling out, and Monday is when the excluded CBD stores would otherwise have been your convenient option.
- Order ahead. Mobile Order & Pay is available for the drink; use it and skip the counter queue.
- If you only want the keychain, the online store opened at 10am and the marketplaces at 12pm — the marketplace listings are usually where the last stock of a sold-out in-store design surfaces.
- Check the Nutri-Grade before you commit if sugar matters to you: this one is a C at 8% sugar in Grande.
