Onyx Coffee Lab's nitro on the rocks

I don't get too excited about cold coffee — it's just not my thing.

• But on afternoons when it's too hot for a cup of drip coffee, I opt for something on ice.

The setup: This was the case recently in downtown Bentonville, where I jumped into Onyx Coffee Lab for my caffeine fix.

The verdict: Both delicious and refreshing, I have to call this one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had.

• It's a nitro, which makes the texture silky smooth.
• But it's the flavor that really sings. The beverage has notes of wood, yet it's still light without being floral like some cold coffees I've had.

I rate this cup worthy of your time if you're near an Onyx, need a cup and have an extra $4.50 to spare.
