What’s in Their Cups? TODAY Show Anchors Spill Their Morning Drink Recipes - TODAY.com

What the report says

TODAY published a lifestyle feature answering a recurring viewer and staff question: what the show’s anchors are drinking during morning broadcasts. The article says the answer changes by person, mood and production needs, but highlights several non-coffee drinks prepared for or favored by members of the TODAY team.

The piece lists recipes tied to Al Roker, Hoda Kotb, Sheinelle Jones and Craig Melvin. Roker’s entry is a cold brew coffee recipe, described elsewhere in the article as a New Orleans-style iced coffee with chicory and milk. Hoda’s green juice is described as a custom drink first made by the show’s culinary team when she wanted something refreshing and health-oriented; TODAY says Savannah Guthrie would sometimes have it too.

TODAY also features Sheinelle Jones’ ginger honey elixir, a warm drink the article says appears in the “TODAY Loves Food” cookbook and has also reached Jenna Bush Hager’s cup. Jones is quoted in the article saying that, beyond vocal health, the drink can feel soothing before the show. Craig Melvin’s newer beet juice is presented as a recent addition after he moved away from a mushroom coffee alternative.

The article’s broader context is a behind-the-scenes look at how a live morning show blends personal habits, food production and audience curiosity. TODAY notes that many anchors still begin with coffee, while water, juices or other specialty drinks may appear later depending on the day’s segments and the team’s preparation.
