Gelato Messina is doing limited edition milkshakes this summer

Gelato Messina is doing limited edition milkshakes this summer

Available exclusively this December until early next year, Gelato Messina is introducing two brand-new milkshakes that seem to have come straight from your childhood fantasies. The first is a mix of vanilla gelato, marshmallow, creaming soda, vanilla cream and freeze-dried raspberries, which is called ‘The Huntsman’. The other one is called ‘Making Peanuts’, and is a mix of vanilla gelato, milk chocolate, peanut fudge, dulce de leche, caramelised peanuts and vanilla cream.Known for having the best quality ingredients for all its gelato flavours, Gelato Messina aims to do the same thing with these limited edition milkshakes. The milkshakes are made using jersey milk which is produced from their own dairy farm in Numurkah, Victoria. Because of this, Messina says the jersey milk has a super high cream content and is full of flavour. Blend that high-quality jersey milk with the rest of the luring ingredients mentioned above, and you’d get probably one of the tastiest milkshakes in Melbourne. Messina shakes are available in all Messina stores, including Fitzroy, Richmond and Windsor. Ask the staff for more details. Pssst: you can now get vegan bubble cup in Melbourne.

The seemingly endless debate about whether you call it “boba”, “pearls” or “bubbles” is no longer important now because regardless of what you might call it, Industry Beans has created a brand-new vegan bubble cup for you to try. Known for its speciality coffee roasters, Industry Beans is aiming to make its signature bubble cup drink enjoyable for everyone, including those that are vegan, dairy intolerant and those who just prefer soy instead of milk. This brand new vegan original bubble cup is apart of the various selections of bubble cup ranges, along with their original bubble coffee and salted caramel bubble cups. Alternatively, Industry Beans are known for having a wide range of other cold coffee drinks, including the Fitzroy iced, cold brew on tap, classic iced latte, iced long blacks and affogatos. In order to keep the sweet velvety goodness of the original bubble cup, Industry Beans has crafted a delicious mix of 12-hour cold brew coffee, "condensed Bonsoy" (their vegan take on condensed milk), French vanilla and chewy boba pearls which were soaked in coffee as well. You can try this new addition to their much-loved bubble cup range at their Fitzroy and Lt Collins St stores. Need to cool off? Visit Melbourne's best ice cream and gelato shops.
