Trying Obscure Pret Drinks

March 6, 2024
I gave in and bought a Pret-a-manger membership. For 30 pounds a month club members get a 20% discount off all food and 5 'free' barista made drinks per day. I love my membership. It is so worth it. The service is quick and the coffee is strong. Now, I've decided to challenge myself and try new combinations of bevs that I never would have before. Here are my ratings... ICED HOT CHOCOLATE I started off strong with this one. It was accidental but such a beautiful surprise. Is this how that guy felt when he invented the potato chip? The iced hot chocolate was NOT just a chocolate milk/ milkshake. It tasted just like a hot chocolate.....but over ice. I can't explain it. I can only recommend. 10/10 if you like chocolate. DECAF ICED MOCHA This one is bad, in comparison to the iced hot chocolate. I wanted to try a new drink and I never order mocha OR decaf. It felt like a ripoff of the iced hot chocolate and the decaf still kept me up at night so I don't trust it all that much. Still a sweet drink, refreshing none the less. 3/10 APPLEJITO This is a mojito without alcohol....its so good and refreshing! It tastes like the spring time and smells like a fresh garden. It reminds me of a blooming flower. I ordered it this morning and a girl behind me went "ew, I'd never order that" but don't let the public sway you away from this gem. 9/10 (only con is that it is caffeinated) HOT COCONUT MILK MATCHA This is fine. The coconut milk makes it taste better than it should. Grace said to add vanilla so I think I'll try that next time. The matcha was grainy but I don't mind it. 6/10 Those are all my ratings for now. Let me know what else I should try
