There are any number of ways to describe a beverage. Coffee can be robust, a cocktail can be aromatic, wine can be oaky — all of which have varying degrees of subjectivity.
So in an effort to be unhelpful and make drink descriptions even more subjective — but, perhaps, freshly appealing — we’re hearkening back to the days of Yearbook Club. The whole class (by which we mean the AVLtoday City Editors) voted, and here are a few local sipping superlatives.
Most Likely to Succeed: Cold Brew Growler
Caffeine is the not-so-secret weapon of overachievers everywhere, and while there’s a lot of delicious cold brew in this town, Kota Kai’s growler full is serious fuel for success.
Class Clown: You Boys Like Mexico!?!?!?
Many a class clown based their personality on quotes from cult classic comedies (in this case, “Super Troopers”), but this Tiki Easy Bar drink has the added bonus of a high-proof tequila base that will turn anyone into a comedian.
Best Dressed: Jasmine Pearls
There’s a long list of contenders for this superlative, but the delicately sewn tea leaves and jasmine of Dobra’s blooming flower teas are elegantly attired.
School Spirit: 828 Pale Ale
There are plenty of local brews and bevs that take inspiration from our mountain town, but Asheville Brewing Company’s pale ale is a classic, everyday show of appreciation for the city.
Cutest Couple: The Navy G&T
There’s no better boozy pairing than gin and tonic (at least in City Editor Molly’s opinion), and the G&T couple is Antidote’s signature cocktail combination.
