summer '25: A Year for the Pornstar Martini and Fancy Ice Cream
Summertime Fashions: Sought-after Sunscreens and Infamous Pornstar Beverage - Checking out the hot new fashion: Is it the popular choice this summer?
Summertime is finally here and it's time to find out what's hot and trendy in the world of fashion and taste. In this sizzling season, people are buzzing about the Pornstar Martini and some out-of-the-box ice cream flavors.
The Pornstar Martini: In or Out?
Initiated in London's club scene, the Pornstar Martini is making waves as the drink of the moment. This seductive cocktail, also known as the Maverick Martini, Passion Fruit Martini, or 007 Martini, is a mix of vodka, passion fruit liqueur, vanilla syrup, and champagne or prosecco. And yes, you got that right, there is a very interesting origin story behind its name!
While some mixology experts predict its moment in the limelight this year, others claim it's been rolling for years and is one of the most googled cocktails globally. So, who knows if it'll be the drink of the summer '25 or not? Nils Wrage, an expert in the field, believes this playful, sleek cocktail "fits perfectly into the present."
Quenching Our Thirst for Creative Ice Cream
Turns out, the culinary realm of ice cream is also experiencing some excitement! "Raspberry with pink pepper," as named by the association of Italian gelato makers in Germany, is the ice cream of the year. This irresistible duo is called "Strauss," in tribute to the enchanting music of Johann Strauss, the waltz king, who was born 200 years ago.
Ferrero, on the other hand, suggests "peach" instead of raspberry. This year's novelty from Ferrero is the "Raffaello Triple Experience Peach Dream": coconut ice cream with peach sauce, wrapped in a shell with granulate of peach flavor and coconut flakes.
Unconventional Ice Cream Desserts
These aren't your typical ice cream experiences! Ice cream in a bun might just be the next big thing. Also known as the "ice cream burger," this traditional Italian ice cream specialty is now available in German ice cream parlors. Not sure how to indulge? Just imagine up to two scoops of ice cream packed into a sliced brioche bun, with a little cream on top, perfect for a spoon or to be savored bite-by-bite.
Sun protection: A Necessity, Not an Option
Embrace the sun this summer with the right sunscreen! With SPF 30 or 50 as a minimum, skincare is everything for the new generation. The fear of skin aging is at an all-time high, and the global market for sun protection products projects a significant $15.5 billion this year. So don't forget to lather up!
