Those readers who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints know that the Word of Wisdom prohibits alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, and drinking coffee and tea.

Breaking News:
Caffeine-Free Crystal Ball Frappuccino Special
Coming to a Starbucks Near You
On this historic day, March 22, 2017, Starbucks is breaking into the fortune-telling business… Or at least they’re offering a drink that might make you think so. It’s called the Crystal Ball Frappuccino, and it’s only available for the next four days. This peach-flavored drink is infused with turquoise sparkles to create a marbling effect.
“The magic happens when the peach-flavored whipped cream is sprinkled with one of three colored candy gems, each color signifying a different fortune in vivid blue, green, and purple. Only the fates can decide which color is revealed – the customer will not know which color of candy gem will top the beverage,” Starbucks explained in a press release.
Blue signifies adventure, green means luck, and purple foretells magic. So if you want to drink Starbucks LDS style, and take Professor Trelawney‘s divination class at the same time, this is the drink for you.

EDIT: Even though these particular frappuccinos do not have coffee in them, it is always a good idea to ask for no coffee just to be sure there is no mistake.
