Tag: Frappe vs frappuccino

In 1957, the first Greek frappé was accidentally invented with instant coffee and cold water during the Thessaloniki International Fair, decades before the Frappuccino's existence. While both are popular iced coffee beverages, the crucial distinction lies in their origin, preparation, and brand ownership.

Created in Greece in 1957, the traditional frappe is a blended instant coffee drink. However, the term has evolved significantly, and a fruit frappe is a popular variation that typically does not contain coffee, relying instead on fruit, ice, and other flavorings for its taste.
