'Fever' of refreshing drinks on summer days

Since mid-March, the weather has been hot, with some days the temperature reaching 36 ^degrees Celsius. The prolonged hot weather has caused many people to seek out refreshing drinks to cool down their bodies. At some grocery stores, the number of customers buying soft drinks has increased and shows no signs of cooling down.

This year, drinks related to blended ice are still popular with many young people.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Loan - owner of a grocery store in Hamlet 1, Nhut Chanh Commune, Ben Luc District, Long An Province, said: “Since the beginning of the month, retail customers have been buying more bottled soft drinks. Some people come to buy a few bottles or a whole case to take home for later use. Wholesale customers also import goods in larger quantities. In addition to bottled water, items such as yogurt, jelly and ice cream are also more popular during the hot season .”

Bottled and canned water is the preferred choice because it is convenient and easy to preserve. These products usually do not increase in price during the hot season, suitable for many customers. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Sang (Nhat Chanh commune, Ben Luc district) said: "During the hot season, the body is easily dehydrated, so I drink more water. In addition to purified water, I also choose mineral-supplemented water or dishes like yogurt."

During the hot weather months, Ms. Tran Le Qui's coffee and snack shop in Ward 3, Tan An City is more crowded. The shop's menu is quite diverse, such as cool soda, milk tea, lemon tea, peach tea, etc. to cool down the summer. Currently, the prices of drinks range from 20,000 to 40,000 VND. In addition to traditional dishes, she also combines them to create "unique, strange" drinks to attract customers, such as guava chiller - tamarind, bamboo charcoal mojito, lemon cinnamon ginger, etc.

This year, Ms. Qui also "caught the trend" of mixing drinks from matcha such as matcha milk tea, matcha latte, matcha ice blended with prices from 30,000-35,000 VND. In particular, the matcha ice cream dish "hot" on social networks quickly became the "best-seller" of the shop, attracting a large number of customers to enjoy. Ms. Qui shared: "During hot weather, customers' demand for refreshments increases. Therefore, I regularly update market trends and adjust the menu to retain customers."

During the hot season, beverage shop owners flexibly grasp consumer tastes and trends to meet customers' cooling needs./.
