Holiday Drink Menu 2019
The long-awaited Holiday drinks are now available in the cafe. We have some rock-star drinks returning this year, with some slight improvements. Just the other day I had a customer say, “dude I’ve literally been waiting a year for this.”
The Sleigh Ride
The Lump of Coal Latte
When we originally created the Sleigh Ride, we knew only two things: we wanted to name a drink Sleigh Ride and we needed it to have egg nog—I mean honestly what says the holiday season more than egg nog? We finally came around to try egg nog with chai (after many trails of egg nog + miscellaneous ingredients). The combination of chai and egg nog makes an ultra creamy, festive treat unlike any other. This year, we took the same principle and added a little extra excitement to the mix.
Whether you’re on the naughty list or the nice, you need to give this drink a try. Activated charcoal makes a gray canvas, but don’t let that fool you, because this latte is packed with flavor. Cardamom-infused maple, espresso, steamed milk and cracked black pepper come together for the perfect specialty latte.
The Espresso Coquito
Coquito (little coconut) is a traditional wintertime Puerto Rican beverage using sweetened condensed milk, white rum, spices and coconut milk. We wanted to recreate this drink with an espresso twist. We featured this for the first time on our winter menu last year, but we’ve been getting requests to bring it back for months already, so we couldn’t wait any longer.
The Gingerbread Latte
Wherther you’re a kid or a kid at heart, who doesn’t enjoy a good, old-fashioned, autumn hayride. This comforting drink is sure to stir up fond memories with every sip. Made by steaming apple cider, heavy-whipping cream, fall spices, and caramel syrup into one heart-warming cup of awesome.
Which is your favorite?
