Yes, you can use decaffeinated coffee if you prefer a caffeine-free version of this frappuccino.
Can I make this frappuccino without a blender?
A blender is ideal for achieving the smooth, creamy texture of a frappuccino, but you could also mix the ingredients in a shaker bottle and use crushed ice if you don’t have a blender.

Can I make this frappuccino in advance?

How can I make this frappuccino colder?
For an extra cold frappuccino, you can freeze the brewed coffee in ice cube trays ahead of time and use the coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice.
