If there’s one hot topic this summer it’s, well, the heat. Discussing the weather may be one of the most basic forms of entertainment there is, but with temperatures this suffocating, it can be challenging to focus on anything else.

Luckily, Alhambra is home to numerous distractions, especially when it comes to food and beverage (remember our Boba Guide from June’s issue?). Whether you want to relax with an icy slushie or lean in by indulging in something spicy, our city has you covered. Cool down with these drinks and dishes next time you find yourself seeking refuge from the heat.
