Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Oct. 19, 2024
Have we got the perfect, pumpkin-hued pick-me-up for your next fall afternoon! Tucked at the east edge of downtown Traverse City, The Daily Grind’s drive-through trailer is designed for on-the-go indulgence. Inside, they’re cranking out Roaster Jack coffee, organic teas, and fresh baked goods, but we go straight for the icy and effervescent Orange Creamsicle soda ($4.50). Inspired by the iconic push-pop flavor, this fall refresher combines Northwoods Soda’s Orange Cream syrup with Lotus Energy—a health-focused boost with natural caffeine, B-vitamins, adaptogens, and plant extracts. It’s served up on ice and topped with Orange Cream Bubly water and tastes just like its namesake dessert. Find The Daily Grind at 736 E. Eighth St. in Traverse City, or follow along on Facebook or Instagram @thedailygrindtc. (And psst—stay tuned for a kitchen expansion!)
