It’s a hot one outside today, and it’s only about to get hotter—so why not try to beat the heat with an iced cold drink? If you can hold out until the end of the month, speciality coffee roaster and café brand 200 Degrees is even handing out hundreds for free in Birmingham.
Helping the Second City cool down during this heatwave, 200 Degrees has a brand-new summer menu filled with refreshing iced drinks, light bites, sandwiches, and sweet treats. Tuck into everything from a Summer Falafel Salad to a Whipped Feta & Roasted Pepper sandwich, and a Bacon & Brie Croissant.
For those after a sweet treat, a range of new bakes is also available—with a Lemon & Pistachio Blondie, Passionfruit Ripple cake, and a Vegan Raspberry Bakewell. But, from the Insta-worthy Iced Pink Guava Matcha to the refreshing Apple and Elderflower Iced Tea, it’s the new iced drinks that are best designed to cool you down.
“We wanted to shake up the matcha game with something new,” said Alex Slater, senior head barista and drinks development lead. “Strawberry and blueberry have had their moment, but the pink guava version stole the show from the first sip. It’s got just the right balance of sweetness and subtle umami, topped with cold foam for that extra sensory hit.”
How do I get my hands on free iced drinks?
