The ratio that makes a blended mocha frappe work
A good blended mocha frappe depends on the balance between mix, ice, and liquid. Shivery Shake Mocha Frappe Mix gives you a starting point: add 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) of mix and 12 oz of ice to your blender. That is your frappe base mixing ratio.
The bag also lists a blended drink method: pour 5 fl oz of chilled coffee, milk, or water into the blender, add the mix and ice, and blend until smooth. The liquid choice is yours—coffee deepens the mocha flavor, milk makes it creamier, and water keeps it lighter.
How to make a mocha frappe at home
Follow these steps for a single 16 fl oz blended drink. The only measured quantities provided are for the mix, ice, and liquid; adjust only if you prefer a different texture.
- Add the liquid first: Pour 5 fl oz of chilled coffee, milk, or water into the blender. Chilled liquid helps the drink stay cold during blending.
- Measure the frappe mix: Add 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) of Shivery Shake Mocha Frappe Mix. Level the scoop for consistent sweetness and body.
- Add the ice: Add 12 oz of ice. For a thicker frappe, use the ice as listed; for a thinner drink, you can blend slightly longer, but the supplied instructions do not specify a different ice amount.
- Blend until smooth: Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and no large ice chunks remain. The supplied directions do not give a blender speed or time, so watch the texture rather than the clock.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a 16 fl oz glass and enjoy. This makes one blended drink.
What the 3.5 lb bag delivers
- Mocha Frappe Mix 3.5 Lb. Bag: Each 3.5 lb. bag of Shivery Shake Mocha Frappe Mix makes about 25–30 16 oz. servings. That serving range helps you plan for gatherings or estimate how long a bag will last for personal use.
Mocha Frappe Mix 3.5 Lb. Bag - Mocha Frappe Mix 3.5 Lb. Bag: The mix is gluten-free, trans fat free, and contains no partially hydrogenated oil. These label claims are useful if you are checking the bag against specific dietary preferences.
- Mocha Frappe Mix 3.5 Lb. Bag: Contains: Milk and Soy. The mix includes nonfat dry milk and soy lecithin, so it is not suitable for dairy-free or soy-free diets.
Choose your liquid for flavor and texture
The bag allows chilled coffee, milk, or water. Each changes the drink in a predictable way, but the mix already contains cocoa, instant coffee, and non-dairy creamer, so you are not starting from plain cocoa.
- Chilled coffee: Adds another layer of coffee flavor. Use brewed coffee that has been chilled in the refrigerator; the supplied instructions do not specify a brew strength.
- Milk: Makes the frappe creamier and richer. Any milk you normally drink will work, but the bag’s allergen note already includes milk and soy from the mix itself.
- Water: Lets the mocha and coffee notes in the mix come through with less added richness. This is the lightest option.
Scaling up for a crowd
The supplied instructions are written for one 16 fl oz blended drink: 8 tbsp mix, 12 oz ice, and 5 fl oz liquid. For multiple servings, multiply each component by the number of drinks, or blend in batches that fit your blender jar.
The bag’s 25–30 serving estimate is based on 16 oz drinks, so a full bag should make roughly that many single servings when you follow the listed ratio. The bag does not provide a by-weight conversion for the mix, so use the tablespoon measure rather than guessing from the bag size.
Storage and handling after opening
The supplied product information does not include an opened-bag shelf life, storage temperature, or a use-by period after opening. To keep the mix at its best, reseal the bag tightly after each use and store it away from moisture, as you would with other dry powdered drink mixes. If you need a definitive shelf life, check the date printed on your bag or contact the manufacturer; those details are not confirmed in the supplied information.
