As summer heats up, our drinks cool down! Everyone is searching for their fave iced beverage to chill out, and next week Vancouver Foodster Ice Summer Drink Challenge is coming to bring more options for our palate.
July 9th to August 1st participating cafes are rolling out their best iced summer drinks to complete for the title. No matter which one of them wins, we all win with new cool tasty beverages.
Vancouver Foodster has challenged the competitors to use their creativity to develop their own unique taste sensation. The public are invited to try them all and vote for their People’s Choice favourite on vancouverfoodster.com. A trio of judges, including myself, will also be out and about doing to ‘hard’ work of tasting and critiquing these special summer treats. The public and the judges are reminded to evaluate based on the basis of originality, creativity, uniqueness, traditional/non-traditional, price/value and most importantly taste.
