Cultural Tip

In Italy a ‘frullato’ is a blended fruit drink, often served in cafés and gelaterie. The adverb ‘super’ is colloquial and popular among younger speakers; in a more formal setting you’d replace it with ‘molto’ or ‘estremamente’. Also, some northern regions may call a similar drink a ‘smoothie’, especially in tourist areas.
