The Alley takes a flavorful dive into the global hit anime phenomenon, Spy x Family, to launch a limited drink collection to commemorate the series being turned into a successful film.
Hailing from Singapore, The Alley crafts signature drinks like bubble teas and iced concoctions that are delectably popped with cloud-like foam or slices of fresh fruit, and the Spy x Family drink collection is no exception. Fans of the hit series will instantly make the connection between the film and the exclusive beverages, as each of the drinks embodies the titular characters, even illustrating the color palettes of the animated characters for a more interactive beverage experience.
The limited drinks for this collaboration include Twilight's Passionfruit Orange, Anya's Strawberries Peanuts, and the Thorn Princess' Berries Frappe. Spy x Family drinks are available at participating The Alley chains across the globe, with a 'second phase' of drinks slated to release later in June.
