Move over, unicorns: Dragons have taken over Starbucks.

Some baristas at the coffee giant have created a new secret drink: the Dragon Frappuccino, a spin off of the much debated Unicorn Frappuccino. According to TODAY, the drink came about after baristas reportedly ran out of ingredients for the Unicorn Frappuccino.

While there’s not an official recipe yet, some Instagram users who have tried the drink think it’s a mix of Green Tea Frappuccino, vanilla bean powder, and berry cup swirl, TODAY reports. So far, the reviews are mixed. While some think the drink is too sweet, others prefer it to the Unicorn Frappuccino.

“No weird sour taste like the Unicorn Frapp had,” Mercy Martin, who got hers at a location in Pomona, CA, said, according to TODAY.

Though it’s not clear if the Dragon Frappuccino will make it on the official menu, a Starbucks spokesperson did tell TODAY that customers can customize their drinks over “170,000 different ways”—as long as you remember the ingredients.
