La Colombe, best known for creating the first-ever Draft Latte, will soon be releasing a new vegan canned latte made with a base of Oatly's popular oat milk. The all-new Oatmilk Draft Latte is packed into a nine-ounce can and is available in a trio of varieties: Original, Vanilla, and Caramel.
The latte is infused with nitrous oxide to create a creamy texture, which is only enhanced by the addition of oat milk, which lends itself well to creating frothy, foamy lattes.
According to La Colombe CEO and co-founder Todd Carmichael, "We are always innovating—pushing the limit to create great-tasting beverages that are also healthy and environmentally conscious. In this case, we are balancing our carbon footprint by using grain-based milks that are the most efficient and environmental way of producing a milk alternative.
