DECEMBER 2015 nshoremag.com | 41 CONTACT Mojo is available locally at Crosby's Marketplace, Whole Foods, and many other stores across the North Shore. Visit mojocoffees.com. Just because the coffee is brewed cold, that doesn't mean it has to be served cold. Brainard says you can warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop with no off-notes. She of- ten gently reheats the coffee when she's in the mood for a hot bever- age—something she craved during last winter's brutal pounding. Every time another blizzard hit, she and her husband used it as an excuse to create a different warm coffee cocktail, mixing in everything from vodka to schnapps. While a schnapps version of Mojo isn't likely to be hitting store shelves anytime soon, the company expects to be rolling out a few new products over the next year, including black Mojo, lactose-free Mojo, and a shelf- stable version, with the eventual goal of becoming a local, natural alternative to the ubiquitous coffee drinks distributed by Starbucks. And one that's much stronger, too—each bottle of Mojo carries a warning to drink responsibly, as an eight-ounce serving packs a whopping 170 mil- ligrams of caffeine. Brainard limits herself to a few shots a day, she says. "I'm natu- rally caffeinated," she adds with a laugh. Mojo is now bottled at Puleo's Dairy in Salem.
