Summer Kick: The Burger That Tastes Like Summer
Summer is the season when everything feels a little brighter. The days are longer, terraces come alive, spontaneous picnics by the lake become part of everyday life, and evenings with friends stretch well into the night. Every outing becomes the perfect excuse to enjoy great food together.
At Holy Cow!, every season inspires us to create something new. We love surprising our guests and refreshing our menu throughout the year with exclusive recipes designed to capture the spirit of the moment. Our seasonal burgers are available for a limited time only, making every visit a chance to discover something special.
This summer, we’re proud to introduce The Summer Kick.
Available from July 1st until August 31st, this brand-new limited edition burgercombines everything you could want from a summer recipe: premium ingredients, bold flavours, refreshing touches and the unmistakable quality that defines every Holy Cow! burger.
Made with Swiss beef, chorizo, melted cheddar, crunchy pickles, Buffalo Mayo,citrus crème fraîche and fresh batavia lettuce, the Summer Kick is a celebration of summer in every bite.
But don’t wait too long. Like all our seasonal creations, it will only be available for a limited time.
A Burger Created for Summer
Creating the perfect summer burger isn’t simply about adding seasonal ingredients.
At Holy Cow!, every burger starts with one goal: creating the perfect balance of flavours.
For the Summer Kick, we wanted to create a burger that feels generous without being heavy. A recipe packed with personality while remaining surprisingly fresh. A burger that feels just as right during a sunny lunch on a terrace as it does after a swim in the lake, a mountain hike or an evening out with friends.
That’s how the Summer Kick was born.
Every ingredient has its role to play.
The richness of the Swiss beef provides the perfect foundation. The chorizo adds depth and a subtle spicy kick. Melted cheddar brings smoothness and indulgence, while the citrus crème fraîche introduces a refreshing twist that instantly reminds you of summer.
Crunchy pickles brighten every bite with just the right amount of acidity, Buffalo Mayo adds creamy boldness, and crisp batavia lettuce completes the burger with freshness and texture.
Together, these ingredients create a gourmet burger that’s rich, balanced and unmistakably summery.
What’s Inside the Summer Kick?
Every exceptional burger begins with exceptional ingredients.
The Summer Kick is made with carefully selected ingredients that complement one another perfectly.
Swiss Beef
At the heart of every Summer Kick is premium Swiss beef.
Renowned for its quality, flavour and tenderness, Swiss beef reflects Holy Cow!’s commitment to using carefully selected ingredients that deliver an outstanding burger experience every single time.
Because every great burger starts with great beef.
Chorizo
The chorizo brings character and personality to the recipe.
Its lightly spicy notes enhance the burger without overpowering the other flavours, creating a bold yet perfectly balanced taste.
Melted Cheddar
No gourmet burger would be complete without perfectly melted cheddar.
Its creamy texture softens the intensity of the chorizo while adding richness and irresistible comfort to every bite.
Crunchy Pickles
Pickles add freshness, crunch and a gentle tang that brightens the entire burger.
They provide the perfect contrast to the richness of the beef and cheese while making every bite feel lighter and more vibrant.
Buffalo Mayo
Creamy, flavourful and slightly spicy, Buffalo Mayo gives the Summer Kick its distinctive personality.
It ties all the ingredients together and adds an extra layer of indulgence without overwhelming the burger.
Citrus Crème Fraîche
This is the ingredient that truly makes the Summer Kick unique.
Light, creamy and delicately infused with citrus, it introduces a refreshing element that perfectly balances the richer ingredients.
The result is a burger that feels surprisingly light while remaining incredibly satisfying.
Fresh Batavia Lettuce
Fresh batavia lettuce completes the recipe with crisp texture and a refreshing finish.
It’s the final touch that gives the Summer Kick its unmistakably summery feel.
Why “Summer Kick” ?
Sometimes, all it takes is a single bite to feel like summer has truly begun.
The name Summer Kick perfectly captures the spirit of this limited edition burger.
The “Kick” comes from the bold flavours that make every bite exciting. The chorizo adds just the right amount of spice, Buffalo Mayo delivers a creamy punch, while the pickles provide a refreshing tang that wakes up your palate.
The “Summer” comes from everything else: the citrus crème fraîche, the crisp batavia lettuce, the balance of fresh ingredients and that unmistakable feeling of enjoying great food on a warm summer day.
It’s a burger inspired by long afternoons on sunny terraces, evenings by the lake, road trips through Switzerland, holidays with friends and all those unforgettable moments that make summer the most enjoyable season of the year.
Whether you’re stopping by after work, taking a break during a day of adventure or simply treating yourself to a delicious meal, the Summer Kick is designed to become part of your summer memories.
