Is it the newest fad this season? The increasing demand for sunscreen and the "pornstar drink"? - Has the summer fashion wave arrived?
Hello there, summer lovers! Get ready to soak up the sun and get a taste of the hottest trends sweeping across Germany this season! Peep the latest scoops on vibrant cocktails and delicious ice cream flavors that'll make your taste buds dance!
The Pornstar Martini: Germany's one-man-show 🍸
First off, let's discuss the debatable star of the show – the Pornstar Martini! Originated in London, this distinctly named cocktail (also known as Maverick Martini or Passion Fruit Martini) is a titillating mix of vodka, passion fruit liqueur, vanilla syrup, and champagne (or prosecco). It's gained quite the following, despite its surprising moniker. Mixology expert and editor-in-chief Nils Wrage believes this playful potion fits seamlessly into the present.
"Strauss"-berried Delight: The Ice Cream Flavor of the Year 🤔
Summer in Deutschland wouldn't be the same without a sweet ice cream treat! This year, Uniteis, the association of Italian gelato makers in Germany, has chosen a unique twist on a classic – "raspberry with pink pepper" – as their flavor of the year, dubbed "Strauss" in honor of Johann Strauss, who would have turned 200 this year. And raspberry doesn't just satisfy our sweet tooth – it's also an addition customers have embraced due to its aromatic popularity and the fruit's summertime vibe!
Peach Dreams: Ferrero's Fresh Sensation 🍑
If raspberry doesn't tickle your fancy, Ferrero International S.A. has a tantalizing alternative: "Peach Dream". This delectable novelty features peach sauce-infused coconut ice cream, wrapped up in a shell made with granulated peach flavor and coconut flakes, perfect for those looking to spice up their summer ice cream game!
The "Eis im Brioche": A Burger-rific Way to Indulge 🍔
Say "Ahoi" to a fun spin on ice cream sandwiches! The "Eis im Brioche" (or "ice cream burger") is a beloved Italian ice cream specialty that's gained a loyal following in Germany. Typically, up to two scoops of ice cream are packed into a sliced brioche bun with a dollop of cream on top. It can be eaten with a spoon or bitten into, making it the ultimate hand-held treat for summer! And don't forget to pair it with pistachio and nut ice cream, G была-style!
Rejoice, skincare fanatics – it's official: slathering on sunscreen has become an integral part of summer! With everyone bothered about skin wellness, you can count on folks applying LSF 30 (and higher) as soon as the sun makes an appearance. So, let's heard it for the relentless sunscreen craze! ☀️
