Popular Drink Menu (11–20)
Butterbeer-style drinkNEW!
Butterbeer, which appears in the Harry Potter films and is popular in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Japan.
Put ginger ale, vanilla ice cream, and butter into a heatproof container, mix, and heat in the microwave.
Then add cinnamon and nutmeg and stir.
If you want it sweeter, add some sugar.
Next, freeze it for about 2 hours until set.
Pour ginger ale into a cup and place the set mixture on top to finish! If you can give yourself a foamy mustache like in the movies, it’ll look great in photos and draw plenty of attention.
Fruit Punch Cider
Cool-looking and colorful! Here are some ideas for fruit punch with soda.
How about serving fruit punch made with a variety of cut fruits, customized with fizzy, popping soda? At a school festival, a refreshing fruit punch is sure to be a hit with visitors! The combination of colorful cut fruits and sparkling, refreshing soda will be enjoyable both to look at and to taste.
Try setting up tables and chairs in the classroom to serve it.
Sparkling drinks to enjoy from the 100-yen shop
100-yen shops are constantly evolving.
From everyday staple seasonings and stationery to clever gadgets that make life easier, these stores have become indispensable in our daily lives.
How about selling a sparkling drink using “aurora powder” available at these 100-yen shops? This aurora syrup makes an ordinary liquid shimmer slowly like the aurora—so intriguing.
It’s perfect for today’s social media aesthetics too! Be sure to offer plenty of color variations using shaved ice syrups and more.

Offering original drinks at the school festival sounds like a great way to stand out from other booths and build excitement! First, let’s decide what kind of drinks you want to make.
Choosing the flavor profile, whether to include ice, and how to decorate them will make it easier to finalize the menu—highly recommended.
Also decide how many types of original drinks you’ll offer.
Preparing both hot and iced options to match the season will likely boost popularity.
Definitely give it a try!
Stylish drinks made with jelly
https://www.tiktok.com/@ohtake_food_beauty/video/7454701280154455314Let me introduce a stylish drink that uses jelly so you can enjoy both the look and the texture.
Put your favorite flavor of jelly into a cup.
Stir to break up the jelly, then add ice and pour in soda—just like a drink you’d get at a café.
It looks refreshing and cool, which is really lovely.
Try making it with your favorite flavors like strawberry, mandarin orange, or melon.
If you prefer it a bit sweeter, adding syrup is recommended.
Finish with a mint leaf garnish for a cool, refreshing drink!
Honey Matcha Soy Milk Latte
Mock tea ceremony events have started popping up in all kinds of places.
I don’t know all the detailed etiquette or steps, but tea enjoyed while sitting formally somehow carries a taste of tradition.
Everyone seems to love matcha.
A “Honey Matcha Soy Latte” that combines popular matcha with honey and soy milk might also be a hit! You can froth the soy milk or simply shake it with the matcha.
Drizzling the honey on top like a topping works nicely, too.
It could become a great talking point if sold alongside the tea ceremony club’s event!
Heart Drink
The heart mark that everyone loves.
It’s been used as a symbol for the heart since long ago, but did you know that shape also appears in Japanese architecture? When used in openwork carvings and the like, it’s called “inome,” which literally means “boar’s eye”—an intriguing name, isn’t it? If you made a drink covered in cute hearts like that, you’d be a surefire hit at a school festival! The showstopper is creating a big heart mark on the side of the glass with cream or melted marshmallow.
Add heart-shaped chocolates or cookies to finish it off as a lovely, love-themed drink!
