a milkshake that went to college, dropped out, and became iced coffee's flashy cousin.
means A frappe is a chilled, frothy drink—in much of New England a thick milkshake blended with ice cream, and elsewhere a frosty, often coffee-based beverage shaken or blended with ice.
from From the French frappé, meaning 'struck' or 'iced'—the past participle of frapper, 'to strike or hit.' In French culinary terms, a drink frappé was one 'struck' with ice or shaken cold, and the word chilled its way into English in the 19th century. The same notion of striking sound runs through musical theater's 'frappé,' a ballet step where the foot strikes the floor—both branches share that root of forceful impact, only one cools your throat while the other warms the stage.
