Gelato-Like Melon Frappes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

FamilyMart's Melon Gelato Frappe Shares a Refreshing Taste of Cantaloupe

— August 20, 2019 — Lifestyle
One of the best ways to beat the heat of summer is with a refreshing, fruit-flavored treat and Japan's FamilyMart convenience store chain is now serving a Melon Gelato Frappe as a refreshing chilled beverage. The melon-flavored drink is elevated with frothed milk, which is said to create a rich, gelato-like texture.

Frappes, the chilled drinks sold in tall, clear cups are immensely popular with consumers in the summer in parts of Asia and beyond, especially during a time of year when people are craving refreshing alternatives to hot coffee. While the flavors of many frappes are based on popular desserts, FamilyMart's Melon Gelato Frappe boasts a simple flavor inspired by a naturally sweet fruit.
Trend Themes
1. Gelato-inspired Frappes - Businesses can explore the creation of gelato-inspired frappes as an alternative to traditional summer drinks.
2. Fruit-flavored Beverages - Businesses can capitalize on the popularity of fruit-flavored beverages by exploring unique and refreshing flavor combinations.
3. Textured Beverages - Businesses can innovate on the idea of textured beverages by combining different textures and flavors for a unique and satisfying taste experience.
Industry Implications

2. Cafes - Cafes can explore creating fruit-flavored beverages with unique twists to stand out from competitors and attract customers.
3. Beverage Manufacturing - Beverage manufacturing companies can explore the innovation of creating textured beverages with different flavor combinations to expand their product offerings.
