Hill Top’s Mojito Mojo
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | July 26, 2025
Midday slump sufferers, rejoice! We’ve found the sweet spot between a cup of coffee and an energy drink (but with none of the artificial stuff): the vibrantly green Mojito Mojo at Hill Top Coffee & Ice Cream in Benzonia. Inspired by the classic cocktail’s mint and lime, with a fruity twist, this natural caffeine boost blends White Lotus concentrate—that’s a plant-derived energy supplement powered by ingredients like green tea and adaptogens—with sour apple and kiwi syrups, ice, and club soda for the perfect sweet-meets-tart sip. Ordered as is, this seasonal bevvy drinks like a fizzy Jolly Rancher, but you can amp it up even further with add-ins like cold foam, cream, or boba pearls. Pair one with a scratch-made donut or sugar cookie and consider yourself fully recharged! Find your mojo ($5.99/20oz) at Hill Top Coffee & Ice Cream in Benzonia (7117 South St.). hilltopsodashoppe.com
