Hill Top Soda Shoppe's Naughty Elf Latte

Bottoms Up

We know Santa’s keeping tabs, but sometimes, it just feels good to be bad. The Naughty Elf Latte at Hill Top Soda Shoppe in Benzonia is so good, it ought to break some rules! Inspired by a house-favorite flavor combo—the cafe is a sugary mecca of donuts, ice cream, and hand-crafted sweets—this decadent coffee begins with a double-shot of Higher Ground’s ethically sourced espresso and is mixed with coconut and caramel syrups (courtesy of Northwoods Soda). To finish, the whole shebang is topped with a pour of velvety frothed milk, toasted coconut shavings, and caramel sauce. Grab one to go or enjoy a sip as part of their seasonal latte flights…and let the sugar buzz commence! (We’ll try for the nice list again next year.) Treat yourself at Hill Top Soda Shoppe (7117 South St., Benzonia), and don’t forget to check out their annual Men of Benzie calendar fundraiser! Find them online at hilltopsodashoppe.com.
