Last but definitely not the least is coffeesmith’s Strawberry Ade. In Korea, “ade” is a drink made using any fruit syrup and juice, combined with cider (commonly Sprite).

Since its ingredients include a cider, drinking it will give you that fizzy taste carbonated drinks offer, but the inclusion of strawberry syrup and slices perfectly balances the flavour.

It is the ideal drink to cool off in order to beat Singapore’s summer heat.

Grab your wallets and taste these strawberry products now, because you don’t need to fly to Korea to enjoy spring!
