Believe it or not, we're starting to get some summer-like weather here. As I type this, I'm sitting on our back patio, wearing shorts and short-sleeve shirt and drinking a homemade frappuccino. Pretty perfect! (Although come July or August, it will be hot here.)
These mocha frappuccinos are wonderful - cold, coffee-y, and delicious. The consistency did not mix perfectly, however, so I would suggest serving with a straw or spoon to blend a little as you drink it. Regardless, we loved the flavor and it was a perfect break on a Sunday afternoon after some gardening.
Even if you don't have spring or summer weather yet, mark this recipe for a month or two from now! I have a feeling that I'll be making these for months to come.
