A man has broken the record for the most expensive Starbucks drink ever with a staggering $54 Sexagintuple Vanilla Bean Mocha Frappuccino. This drink, ordered in Dallas, weighs 3.6 kilograms and includes an astonishing 60 shots of espresso. The customer, Andrew, is a Gold member of Starbucks’ loyalty program, which allowed him to use a free drink coupon for this extravagant purchase. He drank a third of the drink initially and saved the rest for later, later sharing his progress on social media. This drink surpasses the previous record held by Beau Chevassus, who ordered a Quadriginoctuple Frap for $47.30 with 48 shots of espresso.
• Andrew's drink contains about 4.5 grams of caffeine, well above the typical limit.

• The purchase highlights the extremes some coffee lovers will go to for a unique experience.
