Priciest Starbucks drink ever

Write a news story with a feature lead for the following fact sheet:

Beau Chevassus set a new record for the most expensive Starbucks drink ever ordered.

Chevassus, who lives in Washington, ordered a “Quadriginoctuple Frap”  for $47.30 to break the previous record holder which was a $26.60 drink called a Java Chip Frappuccino in a Trenta cup. This previous record holder’s drink consisted of $16 shots of espresso, a shot of soy milk, caramel flavoring, banana puree, strawberry puree, vanilla beans, matcha power, protein powder and some caramel and mocha.

When asked why he ordered the drink that was put in his own 52-ounce coffee mug, Chevassus said, “I did it for fun, for a bit of entertainment and to see if it is at all possible. I was surprised how cool the Starbucks employees were. They seemed almost interested in trying to set the record than I was.”

It took Chevassus several days to finish the drink because the caffeine was so strong. Starbucks gave the drink, which consisted of 48 shots of espresso, some protein powder, two bananas, a few caramel drizzle Frappuccino chips, some vanilla bean and a little soy, to Chevassus for free because it was his birthday.
