Hawthorne sits in the middle of the South Bay, close enough to the coast for cool mornings and close enough to the freeways that most days start with a drive. People here commute, run errands between neighborhoods and plan around traffic. A cold drink in the cup holder is part of the routine.

Lotus fits into those days easily. You can pick up cans at the grocery store while you stock up for the week, or order online for delivery when the schedule is packed. Either way, it is an iced drink for the long stretches between stops.

Lotus is a plant-based energy drink made with natural caffeine and PP7, a plant-based blend made with organic ingredients. It comes two ways: ready-to-drink cans you can grab cold, and concentrates that coffee shops mix into energy refreshers, energy teas, lemonades and creamy Lotus Cream drinks.

Looking for a sugar-free energy drink? Lotus Zero Sugar comes in cans and concentrate, and Light cans have zero net carbs and 10 calories. Nowhere close? Order online for delivery to Hawthorne, from 12-packs of cans to half-gallon concentrates.
