6 Places to Get Your Cool On This Summer Season

With temperatures spiking this summer season, it can feel like we’re living inside a giant oven. Although fans and air conditioners can help cool our bodies down, it’s often the cold, sweet drinks or a bowl of ice cream that keep our spirits up during these hot times. To help you beat the heat, we’ve compiled a list of places where you can get assorted refreshing summer coolers you can enjoy this season.

Starbucks

Our go-to coffee shop has just unveiled their latest summer drink collection, featuring two new flavors for their cold brew: the Okayama Apple Peach Cold Brew and the Belgian Chocolate Nitro Cold Brew, guaranteed to elevate your cold brew experience. The Cantaloupe Cream Frappuccino also offers a refreshing and fruity addition to their frappuccino lineup. These drinks are available in all Starbucks outlets until June 5th.

Serenitea x Locally

Serenitea and Locally Blended Juice Drink have teamed up to offer a refreshing solution to beat the summer heat with their limited edition, Tropical Mocktails. These mocktails are made with locally sourced juices infused with tea and come in three flavors: Paloma (black tea-pomelo juice-blue tea-rosemary), Guyana (banana-black tea-guyabano juice), and Rosey Dalandan (black tea-dalandan juice-roselle tea). Visit any Serenitea outlet to try these Tropical mocktails before they’re gone on June 15th.

Bebangs Halo-Halo

Halo-halo,the quintessential Pinoy summer dessert, can be found in almost every street corner with each vendor offering their own take on the classic treat. However, Bebang’s Halo-Halo stands out with their distinctive and delicious flavors at affordable prices. In addition to the traditional special halo-halo and mais con hielo, they also serve unique varieties like Blueberry Halo-Halo, Strawberry Pistachio Halo-Halo, and their luxurious Royal Halo-Halo, which is topped with edible gold.

Dairy Queen

While banana splits may not be as popular as they once were, they still have the power to put a smile on our faces during hot weather. Dairy Queen is helping to revive the love for this classic treat by making it their blizzard of the month. You can now experience the taste of banana split in four different blizzard flavors: Banana Strawberry, Banana KitKat, Banoffee, and the classic Banana Split. Treat yourself to these banana-tastic flavors all summer long.

Manam

Manam is renowned for their innovative approach to Filipino cuisine, particularly their savory dishes like the watermelon sinigang and crispy sisig. However, their creativity extends beyond food and into their Pinoy Samalamig concoctions, which are a must-try. If you’re dining at Manam, be sure to try their unique and inventive coolers. One of their most popular options, guaranteed to cool you down, is the Ube+Sago, a creamy ube-based shake that’s perfect for ube enthusiasts. They offer a variety of flavors such as Papaya+Black Pepper, Buko+Pandan+Sago, and Strawberry+Camias. Head to one of Manam’s outlets to enjoy these refreshing drinks.

Dunkin

Although donuts and coffee are a classic snack combination, they may not be the best option for hot weather. That’s why Dunkin Donuts has introduced a frozen series to help you cool down this summer. You can even pair the frozen drinks with their famous donuts. The frozen series is available in two flavors: Frozen Guava and Frozen Lychee, both of which are refreshing and delicious. Treat yourself to these cool drinks at a Dunkin Donuts outlet near you.

I hope these coolers will help you beat the summer heat! Summer won’t stick around forever, so make sure you still get to enjoy and have fun under the sun. But don’t forget to drink stay hydrated and and keep your cool!
