Seasonal Sips & How We Craft Them
Seasons change fast in the mountains — and we love matching our drinks to that rhythm.
When autumn rolls in, you can almost taste it in the air. That’s when warm spices take center stage. Cinnamon, nutmeg, maple, brown sugar — flavors that wrap around you like your favorite hoodie. A fall latte shouldn’t just taste sweet; it should taste nostalgic. Familiar. Comforting.
Winter leans deeper. Think toasted vanilla, dark chocolate, peppermint, and subtle caramel notes. Drinks that feel indulgent without being overwhelming. The goal isn’t just sweetness — it’s balance. Rich espresso grounding the flavor, milk adding smoothness, syrups complementing instead of overpowering.
Spring lightens everything. Floral hints, honey, lavender infusions, and bright citrus undertones make their way into the lineup. These drinks feel fresh and energetic — like longer daylight hours and open windows.
Summer? That’s when refreshers shine. Berry blends, cold brew with creamy cold foam, iced matcha with subtle sweetness. Crisp. Clean. Cooling. Designed for hot afternoons and post-hike stops.
Crafting seasonal drinks isn’t random. It starts with brainstorming flavors that reflect what people are craving at that moment of the year. Then we test. Adjust. Taste again. Sometimes what sounds perfect on paper needs a tweak in real life — maybe less syrup, maybe more espresso punch.
Want to recreate a cozy fall vibe at home? Try this simple formula:
Strong brewed coffee or espresso
Warm milk (dairy or alternative)
A teaspoon of maple syrup
A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
Tiny pinch of salt (trust us)
Shake or froth the milk, pour over espresso, sprinkle spice on top. Instant cozy.
Seasonal drinks are more than limited-time menu items. They mark time. They become part of memories. “Remember that drink from last winter?” That’s the kind of reaction we love hearing.
Because great coffee doesn’t just follow the seasons — it celebrates them.
