You may have read reports that temperatures in Singapore are expected to hit as high as 35 degrees Celsius for the rest of June. To help you keep cool, here are some new drinks and ice cream flavours for a refreshing respite from the heat.
Coolhaus Ice Cream “Sammies”
Californian cult ice cream brand Coolhaus has expanded its signature “Sammies” line in Singapore – ice cream made with animal- and lactose-free dairy protein from Perfect Day, and sandwiched between two indulgent cookies – with four new flavours. Indulge in Mocha Fudge, Mint Chocolate, Double Chocolate and Hojicha, in addition to the existing Vanilla and Peanut Butter flavours.
Coolhaus Ice Cream “Sammies” are available at Cold Storage, CS Fresh and Red Mart at $4.95 each.
Luckin Coffee Minty Coconut Latte
Luckin Coffee’s most popular drink is said to be the creamy tropical Coconut Latte ($6.40). Now comes the new summer drink of the season, the Minty Coconut Latte, that comes in a unique pastel blue hue for hot summer days. It’s a fusion of the brand’s raw cold-press coconut milk and bold barista-blend coffee but with a cool minty twist.
Luckin Coffee Minty Coconut Latte is available across its five outlets in Singapore, including i12 Katong.
Ben & Jerry’s Sundae range
Indulge in your sundae best with Ben & Jerry’s new ice cream flavours: Hazel-nuttin’ but Chocolate is full of hazelnut swirls, chocolate chunks and brownie pieces; Cookie Vermont-ster is packed with sweet cream ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, and crunchy cookie chunks and swirls; and Berry Revolutionary is the non-dairy raspberry option with chocolatey sandwich cookies, and caramel and cookie swirls. Each flavour is topped with a delicious creamy whipped topping.
Available at major supermarkets, convenience stores and online at $15.04 each. Free limited-edition cooler bag with minimum $25 spend at major supermarkets.
Cocomax Coconut Water with Butterfly Pea
Coconut water is probably the quintessential tropical drink. Not only does it contain natural sugars, it is high in natural electrolytes and an isotonic thirst quencher with an abundant source of potassium, manganese, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and sodium. Cocomax gives it a new spin with butterfly pea flowers for a pretty purplish-blue.
Cocomax Coconut Water with Butterfly Pea is exclusively available at 7-Eleven stores, while stocks last.
Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit and Mexican Lime Soda Water
Consider these low-calorie, guilt-free thirst-quenchers to beat the heat. Sparkling Pink Grapefruit Soda Water features handpicked red and pink grapefruit from Florida, while Mexican Lime Soda Water has Tahiti lime from Mexico and fresh yuzu from Japan. Enjoy them on their own or pair them with tequila and vodka for a refreshing light spritz.
Fever-Tree Soda Waters are available at a promotional price of $39.90 (24 x 200ml) at cellarbration.com.sg/fevertree.
