You have to try: The zombie frappe
Why you should try it: The zombie frappe started as a Halloween drink, but now it’s a secret menu item you can order all year round at Inzombia.
“I just literally needed something that looked insane,” said owner Pete DuFoe. “I wanted to do something for that weekend, for Halloween. Something messy, something delicious.”
The blended drink is a matcha frappe with strawberry and chocolate drizzle, peppermint and white mocha with whipped cream on top. The drink is sweet and tastes like peppermint, but it’s balanced by the matcha flavor.
While the drink isn’t on the cafe’s official menu, it’s available to order, and more drinks will be coming to DuFoe’s secret menu.
