AU LAIT OF APRICITY

by MJ Smith 

Apricity is the warmth of the sun in winter. With this au lait, made with kiwi, toasted rice, cardamom, and brown sugar, we’ve created something that’s sure to warm your bones on a chilly winter day. Garnished with Rice Krispies tossed in coriander.

 

HONEY, WE SPICED THE MIEL

by Taylor Brandon 

Honey, espresso, milk, and Jamaican spices like Scotch Bonnet pepper, all-spice, cinnamon, and thyme gives this miel a Caribbean spin. Garnished with a banana gingersnap crumble.  This drink is sweet, spicy, creamy, and delectable.

 

BLACKBERRY COFFEE TONIC

by Katilyn Briggs 

Our take on the classic cocktail.  A blackberry and coffee reduction meets a splash of cold brew and Top Hat tonic. A refreshing coffee mocktail, served on the rocks. 

 

THE CLASSIC

House-made vanilla latte with brown sugar and vanilla bean powder from Oaktown Spice.
