Ground Espresso Bars get summer ready!

Ground Espresso Bars are unpacking a cool selection of deliciously flavoured drinks as part of their exclusive summer menu. The independent coffee chain’s offering will stir up distinctive chilled drinks perfect for treating taste buds in the warmer months to show exactly how Ground does summer.

Their best-selling refreshment, the Tutti Frutti smoothie, re-visits Ground to give customers a mouth-watering infusion of peach and summer fruits. Coffee connoisseurs can get their caffeine fix all year round with Ground’s quintessential Purple Dragon blend which has undertaken a holiday makeover and been revitalized into an indulgent Salted Caramel Frappé. Or chill out with a coffee-free Vanilla and Chocolate frappé that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Remarking on the local chain’s summer editions, Ground Espresso Bar’s expert coffee mixologist Louise Moss said, “With the wonderful weather Northern Ireland has been having lately, Ground customers are craving something chilled and sweet, but also something a bit different so we invented the new iced coffees collection as well as bringing back the Tutti Frutti favourite for this time of year.”

The launch of the summer drinks menu coincides with the introduction of Ground Espresso Bar’s new customer loyalty card which celebrates the coffee chain’s 14th year in business by rewarding their dedicated followers. Details of the new rewards scheme entails that for every pound spent on hot or cold drinks, Ground will reward the customer with ten points, each point is worth 10 pence resulting in a 10% saving redeemable against future purchases of any food, drink or retail items within Ground Espresso Bars’ stores.

Attributing Ground’s success largely to their team and to the support of their loyal customers, owner Karen Gardiner said, “Our enterprise has been operational for nearly 14 years and is growing quite rapidly, and we wanted to show our gratitude to everyone who has supported Ground by introducing the loyalty card scheme which is taking off just in time for customers to enjoy our summer drinks range.”

Whether you’re spending summer in the city, soaking up the sun at one of NI’s idyllic settings, or on the road for an out-of-town adventure, Ground summer beverages are available at all of the chain’s locations throughout Northern Ireland and at their concession in Blanchardstown, Dublin.
