5 Best Iced Coffee Drinks You Can Order

With the summer season upon us, what better way to cool down than with a refreshing iced coffee drink?

Iced coffee ‘gained popularity when Starbucks introduced [the] frappuccino, frappe (chilled in ice) & cappuccino, in 1995’, and has become one of the most consumed beverages around the world.

If you’re new to drinking coffee, or simply prefer your beverages hot, you might not have dipped your toe into the delicious world of iced coffee. 

If you’re looking for inspiration on which iced coffee drinks to order this summer, our guide has got you covered. 

5 of the best iced coffee drinks to order in summer include but are not limited to:

1. A classic iced coffee 
2. Bubble coffee
3. Vanilla frappe 
4. Iced caramel macchiato 
5. Mocha frappe 

1. A Classic Iced Coffee

Sometimes you can’t beat simplicity, and a classic iced coffee is the perfect example of this.

In short, espresso is poured over milk and ice to make a classic iced coffee. 

Alternatively, if you prefer a stronger drink you can drink your iced coffee black to make a no-fuss beverage that’s ideal if you like your coffee simple. 

Delicious without the need for sweeteners, a classic iced coffee is great for celebrating coffee itself whilst being the perfect pick-me-up on a hot summer’s day. 

2. Bubble Coffee 

Providing a similar drinking experience to bubble tea, bubble coffee is the perfect refreshing beverage to drink in summer.

Unlike bubble tea which has been around for decades, bubble coffee is a relatively new concoction. While bubble tea and coffee might sound an odd match, they actually work wonderfully together, hence the creation of bubble coffee.

The drink marries the perfect flavours of coffee with the caramel notes of tapioca pearls.

At Bubblebase, we serve a range of bubble coffees on our extensive menu, from original bubble coffee to chocolate bubble coffee as well as yuangyang tea coffee.

If you feel like trying bubble coffee, be sure to visit us in store or pre-order from the Bubblebase app. Alternatively, if you’re craving bubble coffee at home, order from one of our delivery partners to get it delivered straight to your door. 

3. Vanilla Frappe 

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, you can’t ever go wrong with a vanilla frappe.

A frappe is made by blending espresso with ice to create the perfect frozen drink. 

The rich coffee combined with the sweet shot of vanilla work together to create a wonderfully creamy and icy texture that’s subtle in flavour and super easy to drink.

Top it with whipped cream and you have an indulgent iced coffee drink that you won’t be able to get enough of. 

4. Iced Caramel Macchiato 

If you’re looking for a coffee drink that’s less strong, an iced caramel macchiato is one of the most popular choices since its inception in 1996 at Starbucks. 

An iced caramel macchiato combines espresso, vanilla syrup, and milk that is poured over ice and then topped with caramel drizzle. 

The milk works excellently to dilute the strong coffee flavour, leaving you with the sweet yet almost buttery taste of caramel. 

As a beverage, it is icy, refreshing and gives you the caffeine boost you need to get you through a hot summer afternoon. 

5. Mocha Frappe 

If you’re new to drinking coffee and aren’t a fan of the somewhat bitter taste, a mocha is the iced coffee drink for you.

The combination of chocolate and coffee provides the perfect balance of flavours, and when topped with cream, it’s truly a heavenly beverage to enjoy in the sun. 

Similar to a chocolate milkshake with a richer flavour, a mocha frappe is the ultimate indulgence you won’t want to miss out on.
