(SPOT.ph) April’s here, and the heat is definitely on in the Metro. For those who haven’t booked vacations and still need to keep the hustle up in Makati’s concrete jungle of a business district, a cool drink is an afternoon mandatory. A good ol’ watermelon shake is a classic, but this take by Salcedo Village neighborhood cafe and work time merienda go-to Bon Bakery is bound to make you do a double-take. It’s not of the regular thin, watery variety, but solidly a milkshake bound to bring all the boys to the yard. This exclusive item is available as part of the SPOT.ph x Esquire Secret Menu.

Bon Bakery's secret summer shake

Bon Bakery already has a solid lineup of creative refreshers in its arsenal, all of them made to pair fantastically with their baked treats, from classic croissants and cookies to their signature baked empanadas. However, their secret Watermelon Shake is the very first fruit shake on their menu, and it’s got two secret weapons: first is its uniquely rich and bodacious take on the classic, lightly sweet and ultra-refreshing on a hot afternoon with its fresh watermelon chunks on top.

Second, however, is the Watermelon Shake’s generous P100 price tag, which also makes it the most wallet-friendly drink on Bon Bakery’s entire menu—making it an even greater temptation when you swing by for an afternoon treat. And pro trip: it’s a great match with the Dulce de Leche Bar (P80) on their regular menu.
