7 refreshing drinks for hot days
On hot summer days you would do anything to cool down a little. The heat makes you feel terrible, and since you probably don't have a pool handy every day, we have a quick and sure-fire solution: ice. Lots and lots of ice. Or even better: iced coffee.
We challenged our friends from Bujole, Olivo and the Olivo Coffee.You.Go kiosk to let their imaginations run wild and create some drinks suitable for the summer period, where coffee is the star. We were very pleasantly surprised by their creativity and ideas, and what came out we reveal to you below. Floral or fruity, more or less alcoholic, discover the 7 drinks, one for each day of the week, and enjoy them on the go, on a deck chair or even at home.
