Drinks

This visually aesthetic drink comes as part of PS. Cafe’s festive menu. It is served in a glass filled with some gin, orange slice, cinnamon and star anise, alongside a small bottle of ginger ale that bubbles up the drink as it get mixed in. On its own the ale has a warmth that follows down the throat but becomes quite mild once mixed in. The spice bit of the drink can be described as liquorice-y and bittersweet.

Back again at my fav cbd hangout for some chicken and drinks. Their frozen margaritas are easily identifiable as signatures - featured on a prominent poster near the entrance and are the only drinks visualised on the menu. Interesting tropical flavours like the Pineapple Yuzu - sweet and tangy with a hit of booze, infused into a smooth ice blend.

This quaint cafe along Joo Chiat road stood out with retro vinyl record covers and house of modest yet variated menu. Lady boss was very friendly and patient despite being busy, walking through a flowchart of flavour profiles to find the best fit. She even took into consideration how late we were into the afternoon, asking about my caffeine tolerance then offering a non-caffeinated drink. The cold brew tea was robust in flavour with an acidity which was particularly refreshing on that sunny day.

Exclusive to Hollin are their Rock Salt Macchiato series (RSM) and handmade boba of flavors rotated daily. Hollin’s milk foams are creamy with a hint of salt that intensifies over the course of drinking.

Matcha RSM (25% sugar, paired with matcha boba) had strong vegetal notes and was on the bitter end of bittersweet, as cautioned by the staff for 0-25% sugar levels.

Black Tea RSM (25% sugar, paired with honey boba) had a delicate dark and malty tea fragrance, sweetened by notes of honey.

Bobas were chewy and enhanced the drinks with delicate flavors.
