Summer is the perfect season to refresh your venue’s menu with cool, surprising ideas that are sure to impress your customers.

Portioli Creativity Drinks are the perfect way to add a creative twist to your offerings and win over your audience with fresh, flavourful, and highly Instagram-worthy options.
What are Creativity Drinks and why you should add them to your summer menu
Creativity Drinks are twelve exclusive recipes, developed by expert mixologists in collaboration with Portioli, designed to offer both hot and cold cocktails made with easy-to-find ingredients and mixed with products from the Portioli range: coffee, ginseng, chocolate, herbal teas, and infusions.
These drinks were created with a clear goal: to help baristas diversify their offerings, engage customers with fresh ideas, and turn every coffee break into a multisensory experience.
In today’s modern coffee culture, customers are looking for more than just a simple espresso - they want to be surprised, to explore new flavours, and to discover unexpected combinations. Adding Creativity Drinks to your summer menu means meeting this demand with practical, ready-to-serve ideas that are sure to delight.
Fresh and surprising recipes - From herbal teas to alcohol-free cocktails
The Creativity Drinks collection is designed to please every palate—from classic tastes to bold innovations, from kids to adults, from coffee lovers to fans of spicy blends.
Among the most refreshing and summer-perfect options, ideal for serving during the warmer months, you'll find:
- Sparkling Sunset – A non-alcoholic cocktail made with Portioli cold-brewed infusion – perfect for a light, aromatic aperitif. A fresh, colourful, and caffeine-free alternative
- Ethiopian Dream – A chilled beverage made with herbal tea and fruit, offering an explosion of exotic and natural flavours. Perfect to serve as a refreshing afternoon drink
- Kimono – For those seeking an energy boost without the intensity of espresso, the Kimono blends Portioli ginseng with natural ingredients for a revitalizing and enjoyable experience
- Spicy Chocolate H2O – A bold and spicy twist on traditional hot chocolate—also perfect served cold as a “Choco drink.” Chili pepper, ginger, and cinnamon meet the sweetness of cocoa
And let’s not forget the options for little ones, like the Mickey Mou, a delightful treat made with milk, Portioli chocolate, and shortbread cookies.
