Available as of March 24th, Philz's new [cold brew drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-cold-brew) are the perfect beverages to pick up and enjoy during warmer days. The first of the new drinks is the Caramel Coconut, which combines [Silken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clearspring-silken-tofu) Splendor Cold Brew with creamy coconut, salted caramel, and oat milk to create a sweet and toasty flavor profile. The other new drink is the Salted Butterscotch, which combines Silken Splendor Cold Brew with butterscotch, oat milk, and sea salt to create a sweet and salty treat. In addition to the new spring drinks, Silken Splendor Cold Brew, which is an original Philz blend, is now offered as cold brew for the first time.
