Which coffee mocktails work best on a monsoon cafe menu?

Quick answer

Seven cold-coffee mocktails suit a monsoon cafe menu: Iced Coffee Fizz, Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Cooler, Hibiscus Coffee Sparkler, Mocha Cola Delight, Vanilla Coffee Spritzer, Orange Mocha Refresher and Coconut Cold Brew Bliss. Four use BLUE TOKAI X SWA coffee syrups, so a barista can build them quickly with the same flavour every time.

In humid weather a hot cup loses some of its pull, but the coffee habit does not. A short list of chilled coffee drinks lets a cafe keep that rainy-day footfall without adding a new station. Below are seven drinks with the original quantities, ready to test on your menu. Pair them with our full cafe range.
