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.
Groton Does the community think tiny liquor bottles are creating a litter problem?
That’s one of the questions the Groton Conservation Commission is posing in a new poll of residents and business owners to find out if they would support a potential statewide ban on small liquor bottles, or nips, Chairman Larry Dunn said.
“The Town of Groton is interested in getting your input on a potential bill proposal to ban tiny liquor bottles, also known as Nips, in the State of Connecticut,” the survey introduction states. The nonprofit organization Environment and Human Health Inc. is working on a draft bill that it hopes to have sponsored and introduced in the upcoming legislative session, it says. In the event the bill is introduced, your input will be helpful in considering whether the Town of Groton should support the bill.”
