Coffee: Lucky Jack "Sweet Thing"

This is LUCKY JACK coffee...  Here in Los Angeles, we have stints of fall and winter punctuating what commonly is referred to as "perpetual Summer".  Which means that almost year round you can find a few days to enjoy iced coffee and this is one of my favorites.

The last two of my major professional jobs have been fueled by this stuff, and whether or not my clients appreciate my bursts of enthusiasm that come from me consuming this beverage is yet to be determined.  However, this stuff is wonderful.  The top perks include that it is pre-sweetened.  Meaning you can open the bottle and it has the right amount of sweetener to make this the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.  The best part about it, is that the small co-op across from my current work place keeps these things stocked.  I just have to be careful about how many I drink so I don't get that dreaded caffeine migraine.

I prefer this drink poured over ice with a little bit of half and half, but that's my personal preference.  I think you should give it a try and let me know how you like.

Handlebar Coffee Roasters

If you're at all like me, and every town you visit you try and find that local roaster or brewer.  Something slightly unique that hasn't completely been wiped out by big chains.  Then you've probably already found and been to Handlebar Coffee Roasters.  Located in downtown Santa Barbara.  It's one of my favorite spots, and a constant for my family and I when we're up that way visiting Grandma.  They have an espresso "Milkshake".  It's 8$ which is a bit steep, but it's pretty much the most amazing thing ever.  Seriously... no joke.
