Anything you’d wish to share in regards to the drink?
The Tropical Fog is part of our Summer season Satisfaction Menu. As a queer-owned and queer-run espresso store, we wished to showcase our year-long satisfaction on this menu drop. Launching in June, we began off Satisfaction Month with a fittingly colourful array of drinks.
To call one other specialty drink: our Lavender Menace latte pays homage to reclaimed queer favourite, Lavender Menace. Through the Second Wave of Feminism, Betty Friedan first coined the time period as a disparaging ploy to exclude lesbians from the feminist motion. Friedan, a pacesetter with enormous sway and energy, wrongfully accused lesbians as a risk to the success of the motion. As an alternative of giving in to Friedan’s fear-mongering techniques, lesbians proudly took again Lavender Menace as their very own. Sporting the now-iconic stencil lettering (Lavender Menace) on their t-shirts, they pushed ahead for their very own rights and freedoms. One other certainly one of our satisfaction drinks, the U-Haul Spritzer playfully pokes enjoyable on the beloved trope of queer {couples} renting a U-Haul, solely after a short while collectively.
With the artistic path of Andrew Lyman, barista, photographer, and content material creator for Finca, we styled and captured our drinks on digital camera. All of us put a number of exhausting work and vitality into the launch of this menu and the Tropical Fog. As a neighborhood espresso store, we’re excited to see our Satisfaction Menu generate large smiles and begin vital conversations. Isn’t that what espresso is all about?
