There are some people who can spring out of bed in the morning ready to go, whether they got a full night's sleep or not. And then there are others for whom a cup of coffee (or two) is pretty much a requirement to get the day started.

If you fall in the latter camp, you know your daily caffeine fix isn't optional. It's a crucial component of any day, especially for those moments when you need a little extra energy. That's when Califia Farms Cold Brew — like their XX Espresso — comes in handy. This perfectly portioned, dairy-free and vegan cold brew is already mixed with almond milk — all you have to do is twist off the lid, sip, and let the caffeine course through your veins. Though cold brew is always a good idea, it's downright necessary when you find yourself in any of these sticky situations.

When one quick drink turns into dancing 'til dawn and you wake up in 90-degree heat with a 100-percent hangover, few things will save you. An ice-cold brew (meaning coffee, not the hair of the dog) might be the one thing that will help you cool down and feel better.
