Venice keeps an easy, sunny pace. Mornings start with a marine layer that burns off by late morning, and the day moves along on foot, on bikes and on boards. People here walk to get things done, and a cold drink usually comes along for the trip.

Lotus fits into that routine without much fuss. You can find it at grocery stores in town, so it's easy to pick up with the week's errands. Lotus is a plant-based energy drink, and it's ready whenever the afternoon needs a little lift.

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 Venice, from 12-packs of cans to half-gallon concentrates.
