Turmeric is a plant with a vivid yellow root that’s key in curry, popular in Indian and Vietnamese cuisines and has myriad health benefits. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory that settles stomachs and supposedly helps stave off Alzheimer’s and cancer. Now the metabolism booster is becoming popular in Los Angeles drinks.

The Punchbowl
In 2012, Jonathon Wright and Christiana Solano opened this colorful organic juice shop with friend Al on a Los Feliz Village side street. The space features red walls with a wild flower pattern, wood palette and Mason jar chandeliers, reclaimed wood banquettes, and blackboard menus. The Punchbowl serves three different turmeric drinks, including Golden Bowl ($10) a refreshing shake with mango, turmeric, cayenne, coconut water, coconut meat, coconut nectar, lime juice, and dehydrated coconut shavings up top. Spark Plug is organic cold pressed juice crafted with turmeric, pineapple, ginger, apple, lemon and cayenne. In the case by the register, you’ll also find tiny bottles of Healing Turmeric with turmeric, lime, coconut water and Holy basil.
SQIRL
Jessica Koslow’s unstoppable seasonal cafe in Virgil Village isn’t satisfied with just producing innovative food. Beverages also get the creative treatment. Horchata is made with Kokuho brown rice and organic Medjool dates. Juice and coffee are of course seasonal. Still, my favorite drink may be Turmeric Tonic ($4). This beautiful, slightly bitter beverage arrives on the rocks and combines ginger, lemon juice and simple syrup.
