Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua take each other on in the 2023 Cool As Challenge.

For the first time in the competition’s history, hospitality operators in Lower Hutt will be going to head-to-head with Upper Hutt and Porirua to create their own limited edition signature summer refresher drinks for people to enjoy in the Cool As Challenge ™ which will run between 12 – 29 January 2023.

There are 38 drinks on offer between the three cities alone.

Customers will be the given the chance to vote for their favourite drink by QR code located in each cafe or take a selfie with their drink on Cool As Challenge ™” Facebook, and Instagram pages. The top 2 winning drinks across the three cities will be announced on 30 January. Those six top drinks voted by those enjoying a refreshing summer Cool As Challenge™ drink will be judged by an independent panel of judges. The announcement of the ultimate winning Cool As drink will take place on 8 February. The top six winning drinks will be on offer from 8-12 February for people to enjoy and experience.

Porirua has come to the party with 14 hospitality operators creating a diverse selection of cold drinks including a Mc Banoffface desert style drink from The Karaage Kid to a refreshing pink summer spritzer infused with rhubarb from Café Kaizen and even a healthy, low carb, refined sugar free drink for those calorie counters from Sushil’s Musclechef Kitchen and Café.
“The challenge has been so popular two other major cities in the Wellington region have come on board to compete. We are excited to welcome Upper Hutt and Porirua to the challenge and build momentum of this fantastic summer competition”

The challenge, founded by the Hutt City Council to inspire local cafes to be creative and attract people to the Lower Hutt CBD, has grown in popularity since it was launched in 2016. It was also the direct result of the successful Sweet As Hot Chocolate Challenge™, in which Central Hutt cafes create signature hot chocolates for customers to taste and rank over three weeks in winter.
