What Is a Frozen Dunkaccino
A Frozen Dunkaccino is a blended, frozen coffee and cream beverage sold by Starbucks. It combines espresso, milk, ice, and flavoring into a slush-like texture, positioned as a lighter alternative to milkshakes and high-calorie frappuccinos. The drink is part of Starbucks' core menu in the United States and is available at most company-operated and licensed locations with a bar and blender station. Nutritional and ingredient data for the Frozen Dunkaccino is published on Starbucks' official website and in its nutrition guide for beverages.
The beverage is typically ordered in sizes Tall, Grande, and Venti, with customization options such as whole milk, nonfat milk, or alternative milk choices. Customers can add pumps of classic syrup, mocha sauce, or vanilla syrup to adjust sweetness and flavor profile. The standard recipe uses espresso, milk, ice, and a coffee base, with no whipped cream by default unless requested. For current pricing and customization options, refer to the official Starbucks menu page.

How to Order and Customize a Frozen Dunkaccino
Customers can order a Frozen Dunkaccino in-store, via the Starbucks mobile app, or through drive-through and pickup options. The drink is entered into point-of-sale systems under the core beverages section, and baristas prepare it using a blender with espresso, milk, ice, and the standard coffee base. Customizations such as milk type, syrup pumps, and sauce additions are applied at the time of order and reflected in the final price and nutritional total.
For digital orders, the Starbucks app allows users to save the Frozen Dunkaccino as a favorite or custom drink, set preferred milk and syrup options, and reorder with one tap. The app also displays real-time price, calorie, and caffeine information based on the selected size and customizations.
