I am always in search of a great beverage. I love going to new places and seeing what drinks are on the menu to try. Over my past two years living in Atlanta, here are some of the best drinks I found around town.
Unsweet Tea- Iberian Pig
I know this one might sound a little boring, but unsweet tea is my all-time favorite drink. (I know, what am I doing in the South?) Out of all the places I have had unsweet tea, Iberian Pig has the best!
Vanilla and Hazelnut Iced Coffee – Java Monkey
This is one of the first coffees I had in Atlanta and it has stayed my favorite. Java Monkey serves awesome coffee and if you have never tried the mixing of vanilla and hazelnut flavors, do it now.
Rosemary Apple Housemade Soda – Bellina Alimentari (in the food hall of Ponce City Market)
This soda blew my mind! I originally ordered the Lemon Thyme soda, but once I tried my girlfriend’s Rosemary Apple soda I made her switch.
Root Beer Float – Farm Burger
This drink is the perfect ending to parmesan fries and the No. 1 burger.
Thai Tea – Siam Thai Restaurant
Thai tea is the bomb. I had it for the first time last year and can not go into a Thai place and not order it.
Lavender Milk Tea (no boba) – Honey Bubble
I personally like milk tea without boba. I think boba is distracting and has the texture of what I imagine frozen boogers would feel like.
Iced Mocha – Octane
Iced mochas are one of my go-to coffees and Octane has one of the best.
Whole Milk- Revolution Donuts
I know what you’re thinking, it’s just milk. This milk is so good, though. I still remember the first time trying it and being shocked at how good it was.
Earl Grey Tea (black) mixed with Chocolate Delight (Black) with milk – Just Add Honey Tea Company (inside of Sweet Auburn Market)
I love to mix flavors whether it’s coffee or tea. These two flavors were so good together and made a nice little dessert drink.
Cococaramel Sea Salt mixed with Caramel Almond Amaretti – Teavana
Another amazing dessert drink. I know this one isn’t necessarily an “Atlanta drink”, but it is one of my favorite flavored teas and had to get a mention.
Ebrik Coffee Room – TBD
This new coffee house right next to campus is the hot topic and is going to be my next drink adventure!
