As we roll into winter, there's yet more warm drinks to be had, from Zarah's new winter selection to mulled wine from Q Mex and Timekeepers, there's a little something for everyone.
Winter Drinks Menu Launch at Zarah Today
Today (Dec 13) Zarah is keeping things hot and toasty with the arrival of their new winter drinks menu. Along with classics like gluhwine, they've also brought back some hot chocolate favorites like the Black Forest Hot Chocolate (pictured in lead image) and Homemade Spiced Rum Hot Chocolate. Check it out this Friday night from 7pm 'til late.

Spicy and Chocolate Mocha at Lavazza
Lavazza is getting all warm and cozy with a new selection of mocha coffees. Seemingly taking their inspiration from Italian hot chocolate, they come in two varieties: Dark Chocolate Cocoa Mocha (RMB 33/320ml, RMB 36/420ml) and the Spicy Dark Chocolate Mocha (RMB 35/320ml). They're both smooth, chocolaty and come topped with whipped cream. We're leaning towards the spicy one, though, as a little spice with sweetness is always nice. Available at all Lavazza locations.
Mulled Wine + Special Dianping Offer at QMex
Q MEX has brewed up their Mulled Wine (RMB 55) just in time for the holiday season, plus they've added a nonalcoholic option in the form of Hot Strawberry Milk Tea (RMB 38). What's more, you can enjoy one of these – or an Americano or Latte – with a slice of their Basque Cheesecake all for RMB 29.9 with a special Dianping deal. Check it out soon, and be sure to check out their other winter specials as well, available at all Q MEX locations.
Mulled Wine with Rum at Timekeepers
Timekeepers is making their mulled wine with a little oomph this year, with the wine made in-house with a blend of warming spices and an extra dash of rum to keep it boozy!. RMB 50 for a cup except Sundays, when it's RMB 40 all evening. Watch out for some more mulled wine specials over Christmas!
