After being served a Dr. Pepper and cascara fizz in Kyoto, Cultivar Coffee's Jared Hamilton was inspired to create Mister Pop, a nostalgic new summer drink. This drink hit the Cultivar Coffee menu on June 1st and it's already proven to be a hit, especially among people who love the taste of espresso, iced coffee and cold brew. As Hamilton told Sprudge, "Most of the time, these guests don’t stray away from their regular beverage. The interesting aspect of this drink is it doesn’t taste much like coffee until you are finished, leaving you with a lingering mild coffee flavor."
Mister Pop is prepared using housemade syrup with cacao nibs, fresh nutmeg, and cinnamon, and then infusing the spiced coffee concentrate with sugar, maple syrup, cherry juice and vanilla.
