Today is National Frappe Day here in the US, and I find no better way to celebrate a national coffee drink day than with a new coffee recipe, Skeleton Brew style.
Now that the days are getting shorter here in the northern hemisphere, appreciating a good sunset becomes all the more satisfying to do. This frappe is sure to help one along in that appreciation.
A frappe is, in short, a frozen coffee drink. There are many options available; some may construct their frappe with ice cream, others with just ice. Regardless, it's a frozen coffee drink.
Behold! Skeleton Brew's Sunset Escape Frappe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Skeleton Brew's "Eternal Shadows" roast coffee, brewed and chilled
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon of coconut syrup
- 1 cup of ice cubes
- Whipped cream for topping
- Optional: toasted coconut flakes or chocolate drizzle for garnish
Directions:
Step 1: The Vacation Brew
Brew a cup of Skeleton Brew's "Eternal Shadows" roast coffee, rightly suited for a never-ending sunset, and let it cool. Allow the enticing aromas of this blend to transport you to a dreamy sunset on a tropical beach.
Step 2: The Coconut Infusion
In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, coconut syrup, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy, creating a luscious frappé that captures the essence of a summer vacation.

Pour the Sunset Escape Frappé into a tall glass, reveling in its vibrant colors and refreshing appeal. The combination of coffee, chocolate, and coconut will transport you to a tranquil beach paradise.
