Merdeka celebrations in Malaysia are often a good excuse to look out for something a little different, especially when local brands decide to join forces. This year, ZUS Coffee and Mamee Monster are bringing two familiar Malaysian names together for a limited-edition collaboration that takes a playful approach to drinks.

The new ZUS x Mamee Monster Series is all about being different, having fun with flavours and, most importantly, finding combinations that somehow work surprisingly well. Under the idea of “Lain Tapi NGAM”, the collaboration introduces a selection of colourful blue drinks featuring natural blue spirulina and mixed berries.

For anyone who enjoys trying seasonal beverages, this is one of those promotions worth keeping an eye on. The drinks are not simply another variation of the usual coffee menu. Instead, the collection focuses on fruity, fizzy, creamy and chocolatey flavours, giving customers several ways to experience the Merdeka-themed collaboration.

Better still, there is also a rather interesting two-in-one cup concept available through the ZUS App at selected outlets. So, if choosing just one drink sounds difficult, there is an option to enjoy two different flavours together.

A Merdeka Collaboration with a Malaysian Twist

There is something quite fitting about ZUS Coffee working together with Mamee Monster for a Merdeka campaign. Both are familiar names to Malaysians, and Mamee Monster in particular brings back memories for many people who grew up enjoying its snacks.

This collaboration takes that sense of familiarity and turns it into something new. Rather than simply creating a drink that looks colourful, the ZUS x Mamee Monster Series combines natural blue spirulina with mixed berries to create its distinctive blue appearance and refreshing flavour profile.

The result is a menu designed for people who enjoy discovering something outside the ordinary. Some choices lean towards fruity and fizzy flavours, while others are creamy or combine berries with chocolate.

Three Blue Drinks to Discover

The first drink to look out for is the Blue Ocean Soda. This is a mixed berry soda with a layer of smooth, velvety foam on top. The combination is designed to deliver a refreshing fizzy experience while bringing back a little nostalgia.

For Malaysians who remember enjoying colourful fizzy drinks or Aiskrim Soda when they were younger, this particular drink may have a familiar quality. It is bright, playful and suited to a hot Malaysian afternoon when something cold and refreshing sounds particularly appealing.

Next is the Berry Blue Chocolate, which takes a rather different direction. Instead of focusing entirely on fruitiness, this drink brings together rich chocolate and mixed berry flavours. Chocolate and berries may not be the first combination everyone thinks about when ordering a cold drink, but that is precisely what makes this option interesting.

For those who like experimenting with unusual flavour combinations, Berry Blue Chocolate could be the one to try.

The third option is the Velvet Blue Smoothie. This is the creamier choice of the three, combining an icy smoothie texture with mixed berry goodness. It offers a different experience from the fizzy Blue Ocean Soda and the chocolate-focused Berry Blue Chocolate.

Having three different styles also makes the collection more appealing for groups. One person might prefer something fizzy, another may want chocolate, while someone else could be looking for a creamy and fruity drink.

The Two-in-One Cup Makes Things More Interesting

Perhaps the most unusual part of the promotion is the limited-quantity Two-in-One Cup.

Instead of having to settle for a single flavour, customers can enjoy two drinks in one cup. This is particularly useful for anyone who finds it difficult to decide between two tempting choices.

There are two combinations to look out for.

The first pairs Iced Spanish Latté with Blue Ocean Soda. It brings together a familiar coffee favourite with a fizzy mixed berry drink, creating a contrast between comforting coffee and refreshing fruitiness.

The second combination features Blue Ocean Soda and Pink Lemonade. This one is more fruit-forward, with fizzy and tangy flavours coming together in the same cup.

The Two-in-One Cups are available in limited quantities and exclusively through the ZUS App at selected outlets, so customers interested in trying them should check availability before heading out.

Why This Deal Is Worth Trying

The main attraction of this promotion is not necessarily about getting the cheapest drink possible. It is about getting the chance to try something seasonal and different while supporting a collaboration between two recognisable Malaysian brands.

Limited-edition drinks can also be a nice excuse to meet friends or family for a casual drink. Rather than ordering the usual beverage, customers can pick different flavours and compare them. The Two-in-One Cup makes this even more interesting because it gives customers the opportunity to experience contrasting flavours together.

It could also be a fun choice for people who enjoy taking photographs of colourful food and drinks. The blue appearance of the collection certainly makes it stand out from many everyday beverages.

There is also the Merdeka element to consider. With the campaign built around the idea of “Lain Tapi NGAM”, the collaboration celebrates the idea that very different things can come together and still work surprisingly well. That message feels particularly appropriate for a Malaysian celebration, where different cultures, flavours and traditions regularly come together.

Check the ZUS App Before Ordering

One important point is that the promotion is only available at selected ZUS Coffee outlets. The Two-in-One Cups are also limited in quantity, meaning availability may vary depending on the outlet and how quickly the drinks sell.

Customers should therefore check the ZUS App before making a special trip. The app is also the place to look for the latest outlet availability and ordering information.

As the promotion period is listed as starting from 17 August 2026 onwards, customers should also bear in mind that availability can change. Since the campaign involves limited-edition products, waiting too long could mean missing out at certain outlets.

A Fun Way to Celebrate Merdeka

Merdeka promotions do not always have to be about discounts and bargain prices. Sometimes, the attraction is simply having the opportunity to experience something new, especially when it involves brands that Malaysians already know.

The ZUS x Mamee Monster Series is certainly different from a standard coffee promotion. From the bright Blue Ocean Soda and fruity Velvet Blue Smoothie to the more adventurous Berry Blue Chocolate, there is plenty to explore.

For those who want an even more unusual experience, the Two-in-One Cup offers a chance to combine two flavours in one order.

So, if the idea of trying something colourful, fruity, fizzy or simply a little unusual sounds appealing, this Merdeka collaboration is worth checking out. Bring along friends, compare different drinks and see which “Lain Tapi NGAM” combination works best.

Most importantly, remember that the collection is available only at selected outlets and while stocks last. A quick check on the ZUS App before ordering can help customers avoid disappointment and find a participating outlet.

With a familiar Malaysian snack brand joining forces with a home-grown coffee chain, this is a collaboration that is certainly worth a try during the Merdeka season.
