Frozen Mango Dragonfruit and Blue Lemonade from Auntie Anne's

  We know summer is approaching in the Philippines when you see a sign board serving Frozen Lemonade. The best thing if you don't like the pure lemonade there is a way to try with another fruit. I decided to try their Mango Dragonfruit from  Auntie Anne's  in UP Town Center. Mango Dragonfruit is on the sour side, yet it is frozen can cool you down from the climate of the Philippines. If you want the typical Blue Lemonade and Lemonade they also have it. Each mixed frozen lemonade is for 165.00 pesos ($3.06) not including vat for 12%. Auntie Anne's had samples of their new Blueberry Cheesecake Pretzel. It was good not too sweet. I wasn't really after the pretzel only wanted something to drink.
