Winter is the season when customers come to the bar with cold hands and the need for something to warm, comfort, and pamper them. But they don't always want a classic espresso. More and more often, they're looking for an alternative, non-alcoholic hot drink that will surprise them and make them say, "I've never tried this before!"
In this article, we've collected 5 special winter offerings, selected directly from the pausa.bar menu , designed for those who love offering new experiences... even in a simple cup.
Red Ginseng & Amaretto Cappuccino
A treat that combines the bold flavor of red ginseng with the toasted notes of amaretto. Serve with frothed milk (or non-dairy milk), bitter cocoa, and amaretto crumbs.
Perfect for the afternoon, it's an energizing and delicious alternative to your usual coffee.
Golden Ginseng with Lemon and Honey
A detoxifying and beneficial option, perfect for cold mornings or for customers looking for something “natural”.
Ginseng Lemon and Honey is enriched with milk foam (also vegetable), lemon zest and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
It is delicious, light and fragrant. 
Cioccopanna 2.0
The name says it all here: hot chocolate, whipped cream, hazelnut cream and crunchy sprinkles.
A dessert in a cup that drives both adults and children crazy, excellent as an afternoon treat or as a substitute for the classic dessert.
Hazelnut Barley
A 100% caffeine-free hot drink packed with character. Roasted, full-bodied barley is enriched with hazelnut cream for a flavor reminiscent of Sunday breakfast.
Also ideal for those looking for a relaxing evening break.
Pink Milk Cappuccino with Strawberries
To truly surprise, here's a visually stunning and delicious option: the Pink Milk Cappuccino with whipped cream and chopped fresh strawberries.
It's a hot, colorful drink, suitable for those looking for something special without caffeine.
A sort of "cheesecake in a mug", also ideal as a limited winter edition.
