Cannabis Infused Caramel Frappuccino: 5-Ingredient Recipe

This cannabis infused caramel frappuccino is Fordee’s Starbucks copycat — made at home with 5 ingredients and infused with green dragon tincture for about 30mg THC per serving. It tastes better than Starbucks and costs a fraction of the price.

Starbucks Copycat Caramel Frappuccino Recipe: Ingredients

This Starbucks copycat caramel frappuccino recipe uses simple ingredients you can grab at any grocery store:

• Salted caramel syrup — Fordee uses Monin brand (fantastic flavor, about 1cm from the bottom of the blender cup)
• Ice cubes — fill the cup generously
• Espresso or strong coffee — freshly made, slightly cooled
• Oat milk — fill to the max line; oat milk blends smoothly without overpowering the caramel
• Caramel sauce — a squirt into the blend + drizzle on top for the full Starbucks experience
• Whipped cream + sprinkles — for topping (optional but highly recommended)

How to Make a Cannabis Infused Caramel Frappuccino

Making this cannabis infused coffee drink takes about 5 minutes. Here’s the full process:

• Add caramel syrup first. Pour about 1cm of Monin salted caramel syrup into the bottom of your blender cup or Nutribullet cup.
• Add ice. Fill generously with ice cubes.
• Add espresso and caramel sauce. Pour in your cooled espresso shot(s) and a squirt of caramel sauce.
• Add oat milk. Fill to the max line. A caramel frappuccino with oat milk works beautifully — the oat milk cools the espresso and adds a creamy texture without a competing flavor. (Avoid almond milk — it’s too overpowering.)
• Add green dragon tincture. For the green dragon tincture frappuccino version, add 1 teaspoon (about 6mL) of green dragon tincture. At 5mg/mL THC, that’s approximately 30mg THC per serving — a solid midday dose.
• Blend. Pulse rather than running continuously, especially if your blades are dull — this helps break up the ice properly.
• Top and serve. Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a caramel sauce drizzle. Done.

3 Ways to Infuse Your Caramel Frappuccino

Fordee covers 3 infusion methods for a cannabis infused caramel frappuccino:

• Green dragon tincture — easiest option. 1 teaspoon goes directly into the blend. No detectable cannabis flavor when mixed with caramel and espresso.
• Cannabis infused milk — the ideal option if you have it on hand. Use infused whole milk in place of regular oat milk. Note: oat milk cannot be infused the same way because it lacks sufficient fat to bind to THC. Always use whole milk for cannabis milk.
• THC lean / cannabis syrup — use this as a substitute for (or in addition to) the caramel syrup. It sweetens the drink and delivers your dose at the same time.
