Forget about this season’s pumpkin spice lattes. There’s a new drink in town that is bound to dethrone the PSL and become your new favorite hot beverage. Sweet Little Rain is a coffee-based hot drink that is beautiful, fun, delicious – and totally unique. The only problem is that the Singaporean coffee shop that used to serve is no more. However, that shouldn’t prevent you from trying to make it at home.
What is Sweet Little Rain?
The aptly named Sweet Little Rain is a simple but ingenious concept. It consists of a large, hot cup of Americano over which a white and delicate ball of cotton candy is suspended, much like a rain cloud. The steam from the Americano melts the cotton candy, which drips gently into the coffee below. The result is a strong and sweet cup of a joe – and a show (albeit a very slow-moving one). Needless to say, it makes for great Instagram posts or TikToks.
Where Can I Try Sweet Little Rain?
This coffee beverage is an invention by Kim Jin Kyu, a Korean barista. However, it was commercialized by Mellower, a Chinese specialty coffee company with 50-plus chain coffee shops in mainland China, Vietnam, South Korea, and Singapore. Sweet Little rain was the signature drink at Mellower Coffee Singapore outlets, which are now all closed. And it remains unclear whether the other Mellower locations in Asia serve this particular drink. That said, with a little motivation and the right equipment, you can easily replicate this specialty coffee at home.
Other Mellower Coffee Drinks
Sweet Little Rain is far from the only unusual beverage on offer at Mellower. Other mouth-watering menu items include the Christmas Special White Forest Frappe, Maddie Melon Latte, Matcha Cloudy Coconut Latte, and many more. If you’re opting for a regular latte, you can expect some stunning latte art. From flowers to ghosts and seahorses, the highly skilled Mellower baristas can do it all.
