Limited-edition coolers to beat the summer heat


It’s not even the peak of summer and yet the heat is getting to us already. Best to cool down with these thirst-quenchers from big chains to keep you sane during those very hot days.

These are available for a limited time only.

The Coconut Fruit Refreshers from Jamba Juice

Some street vendors peddle the ubiquitous, delicious coconut, but if a fresh one is not available to you where you are, Jamba Juice might be. 

The juice company's Coconut Fruit Refreshers come in two variants that highlight hydrating coconut water and real fruit. There’s Summer Guava and Tropical Mango (left to right in the photo) that are both excellent sources of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and essential electrolytes. A 16-ounce cup is equivalent to three servings of fruit already. What more could you ask for? These started blending on April 10.

Honey Vanilla Ice Blended from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Like the fragrant flavor of vanilla and the sweet taste of honey? Then your palate will be pleased with Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's Honey Vanilla Ice Blended drink (right, in photo) that combines both of these ingredients.

The honey and vanilla powder creates a strong base for this whipped cream-topped beverage perfect for those with a sweet tooth. There's also a hot variant called Honey Macchiato (left, in photo) that combines honey and espresso in one cup.

These drinks are available nationwide until June 25.

Milo Cappuccino 3.0 from Infinitea

Who isn't familiar with Milo? It's practically the daily breakfast habit for many young Filipinos who can’t resist this malted chocolate beverage.

Infinitea took it to another level by blending iced Milo with delectable cappuccino to get the best of both worlds. The Milo Cappuccino 3.0, which is already available in Metro Manila, will be available outside the metro from April 14 onwards.

Frappuccino Blended Beverages from Starbucks

It seems like Starbucks has joined the monster milkshake craze.

Its over-the-top Pop'zel Coffee Frappuccino Blended Beverage (left, in photo) comes with sinful popcorn and pretzel syrup and then topped with real caramel popcorn and salted pretzel over whipped cream. It brings together our childhood favorites—popcorn and pretzels—in one refreshingly sweet drink.

Making a comeback is the Roasted Marshmallow S'mores Frappuccino Blended Beverage (right, in photo). This vanilla-flavored drink is beautifully layered with marshmallow whipped cream, rich chocolate sauce, and graham crumble. As if that’s not enough, it is topped with whipped cream and more graham crumble. Just sip and enjoy, and don’t count the calories. Both flavors will be available for a limited time only starting April 18.

Sunset Obsession Collection from Chatime

It’s no secret that Chatime is known for milk teas, but did you know that it also has all-natural tea offerings?

Its new line Sunset Collection features butterfly pea flower tea, which has natural properties that react with acidic citrus juices. Despite having no artificial colors, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors, it magically changes colors from a dark blue hue to a light purple. Choose from three flavors (left to right in the photo): Mango Sunset Tea, Grapefruit Sunset Tea, and Lemon Sunset Tea. Make sure to shake before taking your first sip to fully experience it. Available for a limited time only in all Chatime stores nationwide.
