Spicy limeade from Apryl’s Life In A Bottle in Florence

Instead of buying something wonderfully salty, savory, or deep-fried, I did the complete opposite last week. Plenty of Angelenos commit to some kind of shift in the new year, from “drynuary” or omitting meat for the month. This time of year, I simply lean towards fresh, so I ordered a handful of juices from Apryl’s Life In A Bottle while easing back on the takeout. Apryl’s juices were a refreshing way to take in some the country’s finest produce in juice form, but the spicy limeade was something that I could easily drink daily. It’s got a slight kick, and if we’re being fully honest, a shot of vodka or tequila will do nicely with this combination of lime, raw agave, ginger, cayenne pepper, and spring water. Apryl Sims — who managed Simply Wholesome for years — has multiple spots throughout town to pick up her creations, from Hot and Cool Cafe in Leimert to New Earth Health Food Store in Compton, Locali in Hollywood, and Amped Kitchens in South LA. 6130 Sout Avalon Boulevard, #210, Florence. —Mona Holmes
