SIPS OF SUMMER: YOUR ULTIMATE COOL-DOWN GUIDE AT SM

There is a certain magic to the North Metro. Whether you are weaving through the vibrant aisles of SM Center Sangandaan, catching the latest trends at SM City Grand Central, or enjoying a family weekend at SM City Valenzuela, these malls are more than just shopping hubs. They are the home of our everyday celebrations.

With summer around the corner and the sun blazing overhead, staying hydrated is not just smart; it is essential. The good news is you do not have to let the heat cramp your style. We have rounded up the ultimate thirst quenchers across your favorite North MetroSM malls to keep you refreshed, revitalized, and ready to shop until your bags are full.

1. The Tropical Classics: Fruitas and Coco Fresh Tea

When the "extra-toasty" weather hits, nothing beats the basics.

Fruitas: A staple at SM Center Sangandaan, SM City Valenzuela, and SM City Grand Central. Their juices and shakes are a literal burst of nature with real fruits. It is like a healthy liquid cooler for your insides.

Coco Fresh Tea and Juice: If you’re wandering through SM Center Sangandaan or SM City Grand Central, make a pit stop at Coco Fresh Tea & Juice, where fruit-infused teas set the bar. This season, it’s all about the mango series, bright, refreshing, and perfectly in tune with summer’s sweet mood.

2. The Tea Trendsetters: Gong Cha and Tiger Sugar

Who says hydration cannot be high fashion?

Gong Cha: They have mastered the art of "rejuvenating duos." If you are at SM City Grand Central, grab the Lychee Passion Fruit Green Tea. It is bright, zingy, and exactly what your palate needs when the humidity is at its peak.

Tiger Sugar: Known for their iconic brown sugar stripes, they are stepping up the refreshment game with their Strawberry Jasmine Tea. It is floral, fruity, and surprisingly light. It is perfect for those long walks between your favorite boutiques at SM City Grand Central.

3. The Sophisticated Chill: The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

For those who need a little caffeine kick with their cold brew, CBTL at SM City Grand Central is the place to be. While they are the home of the Original Ice Blended®, the real stars this season are the Ice Matcha Sea Salt Latte and the Iced Sea Salt Latte. The touch of salt does not just elevate the flavor. It is a nod to the electrolytes your body craves when you are out and about in the summer heat.

 

4. The Creamy Fix: YoWell All You Can

If you love a creamy and tangy treat, head to SM Center Sangandaan or SM City Valenzuela for a YoWell fix. These yogurt drinks are packed with probiotics, making them a delicious way to cool down while promoting gut health.
