Coffee House Friday
Since this is a Coffee House…
Favorite Coffee? Tea? Cool drink for a hot summer? Warm drink for a cold winter?
One Major Rule – Be Respectful.
We all have our opinions on everything.
Just because you don’t agree with someone elses doesn’t give you the right to bash, ridicule or disrespect the other person.
Only thing you need to do – is reply to this post and start a discussion and see where it goes.
I don’t know what to say. I’m jealous of everyone in San Diego right now. Hope everyone has fun.
Like the Gunny, I like my coffee all year round. For the winter, I make my own instant hot chocolate and spiced tea mixes. Or if I have time, I make hot chocolate from scratch. I’m not much of an alcohol drinker but I enjoy a frozen margarita when I’m having Mexican or jd and coke if I’m clubbing. Summer is whatever is cold.
Oooh, I’m intrigued – how do you make your own instant hot chocolate? (or is that a family secret you’re not allowed to share?)
8 qt box dry milk, 2 pound box of nestle’s quik, 1 lb of powdered sugar, 16 oz jar of dry creamer. Sift all ingredients until well blended. It’s a lot of sifting. Use 1/3 c for 8oz of hot water. It’s a lot creamier than swiss miss. Store in covered container.
Thank you kindly! *runs off to source ingredients*
Let me know what you think.
I love a sweet coffee myself. Hot, I make it with hot chocolate and flavored creamer. Since it is so darn hot in SE Michigan right now, McDonald’s Chocolate Chip Frappe is my goto to cool down or when I am driving.
I am more of a tea person. I like all sorts of flavored teas most recently been favoring those with chocolate flavor
Coffee all year round…preferably made from freshly ground sumatra but as long as it’s decent I’m pretty easy. Although for cold days I love mug of peppermint & liquorice tea or a rich hot chocolate, and for the really hot days; iced coffee if I’m working or a nice Long Island iced tea if I’m able to just chill out.
Hmm….coffeee….
Ice, coffee, milk and sugar if I want a cold drink.
For a hot drink, hot chocolate with marshmallows.
I drink coffee all year round. Pretty much anyway you hand it to me.
My coworker recently started giving me instant Korean coffee which is very tasty and very strong.
Hmm, I prefer a nice hot peppermint tea as opposed to coffee. I’ll have a cup or two in the morning, but that’s about it. For a cold drink, I love having a nice fruit smoothie or even a milkshake if it isn’t too hot.
If I want alcohol, a bottle of beer is good, or a Vodka mix is fine.
Mocha cappuccino for my coffee (or mocha frappuccino in this heat…Michigan should not be this hot, ugh) and in the fall and winter…Pumpkin Spice tea or hot cocoa…..for alcoholic drinks, a Pirate Float. 🙂
I’m almost afraid to ask but what is a Pirate Float?
The Pirate Float I had was served in a very large glass (a highball glass, I think) and was 1/4 Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum, 1/4 Vanilla Vodka, 1/4 Dekyper’s Rootbeer Schnapps, and 1/4 cream *snicker*…stir and drink. Tastes like a rootbeer float (with alcohol, lol)
Pirate Float –
1 1/2 oz Captain Morgan® Original spiced rum
1 1/2 oz root beer schnapps
Coca-Cola®
Mix all ingredients in a glass with ice. Add cola, to taste, and serve on the rocks.
If you ask a question, as a researcher I will answer.
Oh, I just pictured this with vanilla ice cream. Damn, it’s Sunday. Liquor stores are closed.
I love Starbuck’s White Chocolate Mocha – either hot or cold.
