grimrose_eilwynnI went to get coffee at Starbucks with my sister today. So I thought I'd do a blog post on my favorite ice-cold summer frappuccinos. I like to take the regular frappuccinos and do something a little different with them. Here are my favorite, simple modified fixes:
- Mocha frappuccino with hazelnut OR coffee frappuccino with mocha and hazelnut
- Vanilla bean frappuccino with toffee nut (caramel can be added if desired)
- Java chip frappuccino with cinnamon dolce, toffee nut, and whipped cream blended in
There are some Starbucks drinks that don't need to be modified. The caramel ribbon crunch is good as it is; so (on the hot side) is the salted caramel mocha. But those things already have something a little bit extra added to them. For the crunch, it's the ribbon and nuts; for the salted caramel, it's the salt and chocolate.
The flavor I like least is pumpkin spice. I'm not a big fan of their mint coffee either.
Want to know a secret? I'm not technically supposed to have espresso at all. It's dangerous for manic-depressives, because it can induce mania. But hey. Gotta live a little, right?
I have two vices, and they're espresso and long hot showers and baths that waste a lot of water. And I'm not giving up either of them. It could be much worse.
