Presentation
I like the bold red colours of the Starbucks Serious Strawberry Frappuccino,which makes it nicely Instagrammable. Official ads for the drink show it with more organized, distinct layers whereas mine was more combined throughout. Below is the official image from Starbucks.

Taste
At first sip, I found the Starbucks Serious Strawberry Frappuccino to be very refreshing. It had a nice strawberry flavour, was creamy and had some nice textural contrast from the seeds in the strawberry puree. I didn’t find it overly rich so it was very drinkable. Of course, you can always customize your drink at Starbucks if you want to lighten it up.
