I often joke that if I was stranded on an island, ice coffee MUST be with. I have been drinking ice coffee since I can remember. What can I say – I come from a coffee loving family. During my “recovering publicist days”, you can guarantee that while we were mapping out tour schedules, I was also mapping out coffee houses. There was no way we were going to be dealing with tour press if I couldn’t have an ice coffee at the ready. I can deal with many rolls and punches but dealing without my ice coffee is just not a wise idea – for anyone.
