A New “The Bird" has landed. Tres Dragones! ☕️
Ask your local BRCR barista for “The Bird” for your espresso. It’s big, juicy, and bursting with fruit. Pulled as an espresso, notes of pomegranate, Welch’s grape juice, prune, and hibiscus come together in a sweet, wine-like cup with a syrupy body.
Try Today!
