As we dive into the heart of summer, you might be wondering how to tackle another scorching day without melting into a puddle on the sidewalk. Good news: we’ve got your back (and your taste buds) covered! At Zeb's Coffeehouse, we’ve curated a delightful lineup of summer sips that will keep you refreshed and ready to take on the heat.
Refreshers: Your New Best Friend When the Sun's Blazing
Let’s talk about our Refreshers—because sometimes you need a drink that works as hard as you do. These aren’t your average sugary slushies that leave you feeling more dehydrated than when you started. We’re talking real fruit that actually grew on trees, coconut water that hydrates better than your pricey sports drink, and enough electrolytes to make your post-workout smoothie jealous. Plus, there’s a sneaky little boost of green coffee bean extract in there because who says you can’t feel energized and refreshed at the same time?
Renew (Strawberry & Acai): Picture this—sun-kissed strawberries that spent their whole lives preparing for this moment, meeting antioxidant-rich acai berries in what can only be described as a superfood love story. Not only does this drink taste great, but it’s also packed with vitamins and antioxidants that can help boost your immune system and improve skin health. The ruby-red color is so gorgeous, you’ll want to post it on social media before you even take a sip. Those crunchy freeze-dried strawberries on top? They’re not just pretty—they’re little flavor bombs that pop in your mouth, reminding you what real strawberries actually taste like.
Revive (Starfruit, Passionfruit, Mango): If tropical paradise had a flavor profile and a stellar marketing team, this would be it. We’re talking about a mango sweet enough to make you forget your troubles, passion fruit that adds just the right amount of exotic tang, and starfruit that brings a subtle, mysterious flavor that makes you feel worldly and sophisticated. Not only do these fruits provide hydration, but they’re also rich in vitamins and minerals that can help support your overall health. The golden-orange hue practically glows in the cup, and those freeze-dried mango pieces on top add that perfect crunch, making you wonder why all drinks don’t come with fun toppings that feel like sunshine.
Lemonade: The Classic That Never Goes Out of Style
Sometimes you just need to keep it simple, and our lemonade does exactly that—but with the kind of quality that reminds you why some classics never go out of style. We’ve partnered with Louisburg Cider Mill (because local is always better, and they know what they’re doing) to bring you lemonade that tastes like childhood summers, but with grown-up sophistication and none of that artificial stuff that makes your teeth feel weird.
This isn’t just sugar and water pretending to be lemonade—it’s the real deal. Tart enough to make your face scrunch up in that good way, sweet enough to keep you coming back for more, and refreshing enough to make you forget that it’s approximately one million degrees outside. Plus, the fresh lemons provide a good dose of vitamin C, which is great for your immune system.
Feeling adventurous? Try it with strawberry for that perfect sweet-tart combo that’s like summer romance in a glass. Or go wild with our Superfruit blend—it’s got blueberry, acai, and goji berries all mixed in, basically like your lemonade went to health food camp and came back with superpowers and an impressive resume.
Frappe Delights: Summer Treats to Keep You Cool
Caffeinated Frappe Options:
Snickerdoodle Frappe: Our crowd-favorite latte decided to go to summer camp and returned as a frappe with stories to tell. We’re talking homemade syrups (because we’re fancy like that and believe in doing things right), whipped cream fluffy enough to use as a pillow, and actual snickerdoodle topping that tastes like your grandma’s kitchen smells. It’s basically a hug in a cup, but cold enough to survive a heat wave. The cinnamon-sugar combo hits differently when it’s blended with ice and topped with clouds of whipped cream. Plus, cinnamon has been shown to have health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.
Mocha Frappe: For those who refuse to give up their coffee habits just because it’s hot outside and society expects you to drink iced tea or something. A double shot of espresso meets rich chocolate in an icy blend that will wake you up and cool you down simultaneously. It’s like your morning coffee decided to throw a summer party and invited chocolate as the guest of honor. You get your caffeine fix AND beat the heat—it’s basically problem-solving in a cup.
Caramel Frappe: Sweet, caffeinated, and totally unapologetic about being extra in the best possible way. It’s like your morning coffee decided to put on a fancy dress and go dancing. The caramel swirls through the icy coffee blend like golden ribbons, and that first sip hits you with the perfect balance of bitter espresso and sweet caramel that makes you understand why people write songs about their favorite drinks.
Decaffeinated Frappe Options:
Strawberries and Cream Frappe: Sweet, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent in the best possible way. If strawberries and cream had a summer fling and decided to move in together, this would be their beautiful, delicious offspring. Every sip tastes like you’re enjoying strawberry shortcake, but without the commitment of finishing a whole slice.
Peaches and Cream Frappe: Real peach meets sweet vanilla in what can only be described as summer romance with a happy ending. It’s like biting into a Georgia peach at the peak of summer, but without the sticky fingers or juice running down your chin. The peachy sweetness balanced with creamy vanilla creates a perfect harmony that makes you want to slow down and savor every single sip.
Cookies and Cream Frappe: White chocolate, vanilla, and actual chocolate cookies all blended together with the kind of reckless abandon that makes life worth living. It’s like someone took apart an Oreo, made it cold, and added whipped cream—because why not? The cookie crumbles on top are basically confetti for your taste buds, and every sip has little cookie surprises that will make you smile without even trying.
The Bottom Line
Summer can be tough, but staying cool doesn’t have to be a daily struggle that leaves you questioning your life choices. Whether you’re team “give me all the fruit and make it healthy so I can feel good about my decisions” or team “life’s short, bring on the whipped cream and let’s make this interesting,” we’ve got something that will make you forget all about that heat index warning on your weather app.
These drinks aren’t just beverages—they’re little moments of joy in the middle of a hot, crazy day. They’re the reason you’ll actually look forward to your afternoon break instead of dreading another step outside.
