New Summer Drink Coco Breve

You know how when you’re floating the river, nothing tastes better than Keystone? But if you’re anywhere else, nothing tastes worse? Coco Brevé will likely taste better than Keystone on the river—although I did not test this assertion. This is no small feat. Because literally nothing tastes better.
