It’s National Frappe Day!

Like most good things, the frappe was born from necessity – if you believe its origin story! A tired Nestle sales representative at the 1957 Thessaloniki Trade Fair needed a little caffeine to keep him going. When he couldn’t find hot water to make his instant coffee, he dumped it in some cold water with ice, shook it up, and… wa-la! A new beverage was introduced to the world!

Today our frappes can be coffee or non-coffee versions. We add frothy milk and top with sweet whipped cream, smooth caramel, and a host of other yummy bits.

On National Frappe Day, swing through your favorite coffee shop or make your own frozen frappe at home. Either way – it’s a great start to a Monday!
