In honor of the holidays and all the desserts that come with it, Australian coffee chain Gloria Jean's Coffees has released a slew of hot and cold espresso drinks inspired by the flavors of the season. One standout drink is the Sugar Cookie Chiller that offers a blended cold drink reminiscent of baked biscuits.
The Sugar Cookie Chiller is a richly blended drink offering a mix of one espresso shot topped with milk, sugar cookie flavoring and a decadent whipped cream topping. The espresso and milk are blended with ice to create a frothy frozen refreshment that is filled with festive holiday flavor.
Despite the drops in temperature for the winter months, consumers still actively seek out cold beverages that reflect the temporal atmosphere in taste and texture to celebrate the season.
