Favorite Things: Coffee Pot's Rose Petal Lemonade
East-side Angelenos, have you been to Coffee Pot yet? It's where The Kids Are Alright used to live, which means it's basically on my block, which means my poor carless self has already spent many a workday sitting at their cute little hightop tables and trying not to stare too creepily at the case full of cannoli and ginormous chocolate chip cookies. The coffee's pretty solid and their Mediterranean platter is a really smart I'm-hungover-yet-way-too-health-nutty-for-fast-food lunchtime choice, but my favorite Coffee Pot indulgence so far is the Rose Petal Lemonade. That's partly cuz it's nearly the exact same color as the bougainvillea that lives in my driveway (as you can see from the above shot of my ghostly-white hand), but in general I'm always really swoony for lovely girly drinks of any kind. If I had my druthers, in fact, I'd sip Rose Petal Lemonade all day, then switch to Hungry Cat's vodka-spiked Lavender Limeade come nightfall.
The sad part about the Rose Petal Lemonade is it's not on Coffee Pot's regular menu. So I guess if you're dying for a big tall glassful and it's a non-Rose Petal Lemonade day - or if you happen to not live on Coffee Pot's block like I do - you could probably go all D.I.Y. by whipping up an Arnold Palmer with iced Tea for the Queen of Hearts instead of plain old Lipton or whatever. I don't know how you'd get it that beautiful bougainvillea-like color, but lemme know if you've got any ideas.
