I was quite tempted to butt in and give her my recomendation (which I usually have to stop myself from doing when I'm in line at that particular coffee dispensary) but I have you all instead so I'll share with you how to make that holiday favorite better.
**Disclaimer** this recommendation is not for the faint of heart or one who doesn't thoroughly enjoy coffee/espresso
Next time you frequent your local sbux try this out for a holiday drink that will keep you going long enough to get ALL your shopping done!
Triple Grande
Soy
Peppermint Mocha
With whip
and an extra pump of peppermint.
The soy makes this drink so hearty you will feel like you should be out in the forest cutting down trees! It really is so delicious though. The extra shot lets you still be able to taste the espresso flavor over the chocolate and peppermint. And the extra peppermint really just adds the kick that makes it the perfect holiday treat!
If anyone does decide to try it, let me know!
Side note, unrelated to the above note, don't be like me and eat an entire bag of Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate with carmel center Chocolates. It hurts your tummy, and its stupid to eat that much candy at once. If you have more self restraint than I in regards to chocolate, PROPS to you but I wont be buying anymore of those anytime soon. And if I do, I'm asking my roommate to hide them! You never set out to eat the whole bag but when they're sitting there staring at you, you start thinking... one more? eh, yeah just one more. Ok, last one, one more. Ie-yie-yie : )
Delicious. Aka, Guilt.
Yummm, ghiradelli chocolate squares...it's hard to just eat one [bag]. I will totally get that drink but I'll have to wait until I'm either 1. Home or 2. Can say all that in Japanese. It sounds scrumptious! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are fantastic. i'm totally gonna try that drink and follow-up with you accordingly.
