Percolated Places: Special Edition

On the hunt for Denver's best iced drink

We did about the most ridiculous thing in the world, all for the sake of this story. We want you to know right off the bat that Metromix takes risks all to give you the best Denver information.

We generally feature our many fabulous coffee shops in Denver, in our column “Percolated Places,” but with the hot weather among us, drinking a hot latte just doesn’t seem as appealing. But just because it’s summer doesn’t mean we don’t need our best friend caffeine to help us through our days.

That’s why we went on the hunt for Denver’s best iced drink. Why we did it all in one day, we will never know. Let’s just say drinking that much iced coffee in a three-hour time period wasn’t the best idea we’ve ever had.

And, yes, five coffee shops, seven frappuccinos, two smoothies, three parking tickets and three crepes later, we believe we found Denver’s best iced drink.
