• Baristas like Paul Judy at Valor Coffee are crafting drinks that enhance the fruity notes in coffee, such as the I’m Zesty and I Know It, which features lime-agave cold foam.
• East Pole Coffee Co. offers the Sprojito, a tropical drink made with espresso, cucumber-lime sparkling water, and cream of coconut.
