How It Tastes
Right from the first sip, it tastes like a drinkable mint chocolate chip cookie in a cup!
The mint taste is delicate with a stronger chocolate flavor which comes from the mocha syrup and Frappuccino chips. The matcha flavor is mild so the mint and chocolate are able to come through.

“Can I get a grande Matcha Frappuccino with no classic syrup, 1 pump mocha, 1 pump peppermint, java chips blended in, and mocha drizzle on top?”
Drink Cost
A grande size of the Thin Mint Frappuccino costs $6.05 plus tax. Depending on which Starbucks you buy the drink from, the price will vary.
It was $4.95 for the Matcha Frappuccino, $0.60 for mocha sauce, no extra charge for peppermint syrup, $0.50 for Frappuccino chips, and no extra charge for mocha drizzle.
If a drink already comes with syrup and you replace it for another, Starbucks doesn’t charge extra. So for this drink, you are swapping classic for peppermint syrup.
Tip your barista if you can! Secret menu drinks take more time to make and your barista would definitely appreciated it!
