DALLAS, May 28 (UPI) -- A loyal Starbucks customer in Dallas set a new record for the most expensive drink ever served at the coffeehouse, spending $54.75 on a 128-ounce frappuccino with 60 shots of espresso. The custom drink was a conscious attempt to beat the previously held record of $47.30 set in 2013.
The record-holding customer, known only as Andrew, didn't even have to pay for the drink -- as a Gold member of Starbucks' loyalty program, he had earned the right to one free drink for having purchased 12.
