Asst. Culture Editor Ayla Peden gives her recommendations for fun drinks in Oxford

Have you ever been studying and thought, “I could get so much more done if I had a fun drink?”

Now, I know some people like to stick to their signature beverage; I, too, am guilty of this. So, I give you an excuse to try something new with my recommendations.

Kofenya

From the first moment I walked into this café, I fell in love with their vanilla iced latte. Yes, yes, it’s a basic drink, but it’s so good! It is the perfect combination of sweet vanilla and bitter espresso, and I cannot get enough of it.

Tous les Jours

From Tous les Jours, I have two recommendations: My first is the mango smoothie. I don’t normally like mango-flavored things, but this drink has allowed me to gain a new appreciation for this fruit.

My second recommendation is for those who are in the mood for caffeine. The lavender latte is the perfect kickstart for a great study session or a walk down High Street. I would personally get this iced, but hot is great to have on a chillier day.

Patterson’s Café

While many of these drinks you can take on the go, I highly recommend sitting down at Patterson’s with your friends and drinking a hot white chocolate mocha. It seriously tastes like hot chocolate. If you don’t care for the bitterness that comes from many hot coffees, then you will love this beverage.

Fridge & Pantry

Another recommendation for my smoothie lovers has to be Fridge & Pantry’s Green Machine smoothie. This drink includes orange juice, coconut milk, spinach, pineapple and mango, all blended together in a refreshing beverage.

Drop In Tea

Last but not least, I give you pomegranate berry tea with pomegranate popping boba from Drop In Tea. I truly love boba, and this drink is at the top of my list. However, if you don’t like pomegranate, that’s OK! This cute shop has so many options that it is impossible not to find something you like.
