There are people who actually keep track of the most expensive Starbucks drink ever ordered, and a man named Andrew just broke the record by having baristas whip up a Sexagintuple Vanilla Bean Mocha Frappuccino.
The drink included 60 shots of expresso. Total cost for those who don’t have a Starkbucks Gold card: $54.75.
“It took a few minutes to figure out all the math, but in the end, it took about 55 shots [of espresso] to get us over the $50 line, and we just rounded it up to 60 to make it easy,” the new record-holder told the Consumerist.
With his Gold card full from twelve previous purchases, his drink was free.
The previous record was “the quadriginoctuple frap,” which apparently went for $47.30, the Consumerist reported.
Business Insider reported that SVBMF contains 4,500 mg of caffeine.
Photographic proof of the creation and the receipt was posted to Andrew’s Twitter page May 24. He told the Consumerist that he finished one-third of the drink and then saved the rest for later.
