As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I’ve always been fascinated by the art of crafting the perfect cup. Recently, I had the chance to visit Lighthouse Coffee and Wine, a local gem that’s truly elevating the coffee experience. Let me tell you, their menu of barista-crafted specialty drinks is nothing short of remarkable.
Exploring the Seasonal Lineup
When the weather starts to warm up, I can’t help but crave something refreshing and invigorating. Lighthouse Coffee’s new springtime lineup caught my eye, and I couldn’t wait to dive in.
First up, their Orange Cream Cold Brew. This delightful beverage combines their signature smooth cold brew with a vibrant house-made orange syrup, finished off with a touch of heavy cream (or your choice of alternative milk). The result is a perfectly balanced blend of creamy sweetness and bright, zesty orange notes. It’s like a burst of sunshine in a cup!
For the tea lovers out there, the Zesty Lime and Ginger Tea is an absolute must-try. This caffeine-free delight combines the tangy zing of lime with the warmth of ginger, creating a flavorful and delicious sip that can be enjoyed hot or iced.
And let’s not forget about the Espresso Tonic, a bubbly and refreshing take on the classic coffee drink. Rich, bold espresso is combined with tonic water and finished with a citrus twist – the perfect pick-me-up for a sunny afternoon on the patio.
Customizing Your Experience
One of the things I love most about Lighthouse Coffee is their commitment to personalization. Their extensive menu of hot and iced coffees, as well as their handcrafted lattes, offer an array of flavor options featuring their own house-made syrups. Whether you’re a coffee purist or a tea enthusiast, there’s something to satisfy every palate.
And the best part? You can customize your beverages with a variety of alternative milks to suit your dietary preferences. No more settling for a one-size-fits-all experience – Lighthouse Coffee truly caters to the individual.
Elevating the Cocktail Scene
But Lighthouse Coffee isn’t just about the java – they’ve also curated an impressive cocktail menu that’s sure to impress even the most discerning imbibers. For the coffee connoisseurs, their signature creations featuring expertly brewed espresso are absolute must-tries.
Sip on a classic Espresso Martini, explore the unique Road Less Traveled, or savor the Hemingway Cocktail with a twist of infused espresso. These drinks are not only visually stunning but also deliver a delightful balance of bold flavors.
And if you’re looking for something beyond coffee, Lighthouse has got you covered. Their specialty and seasonal cocktails are constantly evolving, allowing you to expand your palate and discover new favorites. Indulge in their springtime-inspired April Showers or a refreshing Lavender Aviation.
Uncorking the Wine Experience
Wine lovers, rejoice! Lighthouse Coffee’s curated wine list transports you around the globe, from the bold reds of France and Spain to the crisp whites of Italy and New Zealand, with a nod to the emerging South African vintages.
For a casual evening, you can unwind with one of their house wines, including classic chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. But if you’re feeling adventurous, take advantage of their exciting weekly wine program, where you can choose from 20-40 bottles to share with friends or stock up at home with a 10% discount on all bottled wines to go.
And let’s not forget about 5 Wine Wednesday – a midweek indulgence where you can savor select glasses from their house wines, Liberation Still Wines, and Novocento Wines, all for just $5.
Spirits and More
Lighthouse Coffee’s extensive spirits collection caters to every palate and preference, whether you’re a whiskey aficionado or a fan of refreshing vodka cocktails. Explore their selection of bourbons, ryes, American whiskeys, Irish whiskeys, gins, vodkas, and rums.
