Mystic Former Connecticut College lacrosse coach Dave Cornell and his wife, Amy, often enjoyed mixing iced coffee cocktails while enjoying the fire pit in the yard of their Hatch Street home or before heading out to dinner downtown.
It wasn t long before friends and family members began telling the self-described iced coffee fanatics they were on to something. Over the next two years, the couple fine-tuned their recipes and last year, with the assistance of consultant Jason Kane, who helped create Mike s Hard Lemonade, they launched a line of hard iced coffee.
Prima Barista Hard Iced Coffee, made from a blend of gourmet coffee, premium vodka, real cream and natural flavors, and with an alcohol content of 12.5%, is now available in four states including Connecticut, where distribution began last month.
