Some Like It Hot: Punch Drunk

SURVIVING the midday doldrums can be as treacherous as an episode of Naked and Afraid. So instead of heading for the office Keurig, turn to TownHall's Kickstarter Coffee ($4) for a more substantial lifeline. It may look like a measly 10 ounces of coffee and cream, but the folks at TownHall take brewed Rising Star Coffee Roasters Colombian coffee and mix it in a blender with one tablespoon of grass-fed unsalted butter and one tablespoon of coconut oil. The result is an easy-drinking beverage that's thick and frothy with a semisweet buttered-popcorn finish. "The three ingredients work in tandem to give you a product that makes you feel full," says assistant manager Adam Heath. "Healthy fats bind together with sources of energy, and it helps the body digest a little bit slower and [this] provides more of a sustained period of energy." 1909 W. 25th St., Cleveland, 216-344-9400, townhallohiocity.com
