So unicorns are real?!

It’s beautiful, it’s magical, and it’s here in the Philippines!

Unicorn Tears, is an out-of-this-world magical drink created by a unique, hipster cafe in Singapore called, Dapper Coffee. Dapper Coffee is a cool cafe by day that turns into a bar at night. It serves hefty breakfast plates and a wide variety of specialty coffee and cocktails.

A few months ago, they launched the Unicorn Tears, a sparkling, mythical blue drink that sparkles if you shake it right. It’s been making wild rounds all over the internet, making citizens from other countries curious to try it for themselves!

What’s the story behind the unicorn tears? Here’s what Dapper Coffee has to say about that matter:

"The ingredients are 100% tears of unicorn joy, it was the birthday of Sparkles, our in-house unicorn. When we presented him with a cake and a hand-written card, he was so touched that he cried tears of joy! He cried so hard that some of it ended up in our mouths - and it was then that we discovered these blue sparkly tears were actually delicious."

It is also said to contain no alcohol, no caffeine, is gluten-free, shellfish allergy-friendly, and contains no traces of nuts, soy, or egg. We know what it tastes like but we suggest trying it for yourself, because according to Dapper Coffee, “The flavour of the drink depends on the purity of your soul.

But if you need something to perk you up, they also have the Gold Brew – a cold, gold brew coffee that sparkles too once you shake it well!

They aim to be as unique and creative as possible, by coming out with limited drinks from time to time, such as the rose gold unicorn tears that was released last February as their Valentine’s special, and a red one called, Merlion’s Blood!

They just tried selling a few online through reservations, but didn’t expect the overwhelming response from their friends and followers. They are only selling a limited supply, so better reserve yours as early as now!

According to the owner, they will try to coordinate with Dapper Coffee to get bigger batches of the Unicorn Tears and Gold Brew so that more people can try it here. As of now, they are still accepting reservations and are looking to get the next batch some time in April.
