Starbucks is selling GLITTERY frappuccinos in London this weekend to celebrate Pride

The glitter-topped drink will only be around until Sunday - so you'll have to be quick to snap one

STARBUCKS has released a new sparkly version of its Frappuccino in time for the Pride in London celebrations.

The so-called Glitter Frappuccino is already available in eight stores along the parade route in the capital.

For a limited time only, customers will have the option to add some sparkles to their drink for free. All you'll have to do is ask the barista to "add glitter" to your frapp.

The glitter-topped drink will only be available in stores until Sunday July 8 - so you'll have to be quick to snap one.

Bear in mind that Starbucks' classic drink costs between £2.75 and up to £3.70 - so it's quite pricey.

A small - or tall - Frappucino has 180 calories and as much as 36g of sugar - that's 6g more than an adult's recommended daily sugar allowance of 30g.

Frapp sales have slumped over the past two years, although Starbucks CFO Scott Maw said last year's unicorn drinks were a big sales driver.

"It was a wonderful product and we have got some other things planned that I think will be pretty cool as well," he said.

 

Earlier this year, the coffee chain released the Crystal Ball Frappucino -  a peach-flavoured drink, with marbled turquoise blue swirls, topped with whipped cream and rock candy crystals.

Sadly, the colourful frapp was only available across the pond.

You could always ask a Starbucks staff member to recreate the drink for you in the UK.

But be warned, their attempts may not work out quite as Insta-friendly, as we discovered last summer.
