Besides the elaborately designed over-the-top ice treats, beverages at restaurants and cafés are also embracing the extravagant trend. Whether it's stacking various desserts and fruits on top of drinks to create lavish designs or turning the entire cup into a fruit-like imitation, they’re all so beautiful you won’t want to drink them and ruin their charm.

This watermelon-shaped drink is super realistic—it looks refreshingly cool too. The bottom part mimicking the rind is made of matcha panna cotta and plain panna cotta, while the flesh is an ultra-thick watermelon slushie made from fresh watermelon that you eat with a spoon. The refreshing slushie paired with the smooth texture of the panna cotta creates a truly unique experience.

There's also the "Fake Mini Watermelon" mango smoothie, which is super cute. It has the same panna cotta-made fake watermelon rind base, with yellow fruit purée as a thick, creamy mango slushie—authentic-tasting and super thirst-quenching.
