—a cup as restless as the city that claims it, bold on the surface but rotting somewhere under the neon.
It poured out quick, no time to waste,
A bitter jolt, a rushed embrace.
The crema swirled, the foam was thin,
A city’s pulse condensed within.
You sipped it fast, you caught the speed,
A taste that felt like endless need.
It buzzed like taxis, sharp and loud,
A drink that vanished in the crowd.
It promised more, it promised height,
But left you wired through the night.
By morning’s light, the glamour gone,
The aftertaste still lingered on.
A brew that sang of dreams and flight.
But left your stomach picking fights.

Ingredients:

- 4 oz Cold Brew Concentrate (the rot beneath the lights)
- Garnish: A twist of lemon peel—bright, brash, unnecessary
Instructions:
Pull espresso, combine with cold brew and liqueur in a tall glass over ice. Top with a lemon twist, sharp as a cab horn at 3 AM. Serve while moving—never sitting still. Sip fast, regret later.
