What's you favorite 'fancy' drink?

[infomama]

I love good coffee (Caribou is my poison...we brew it at home). I drink it black. Recently I went to Starbucks with a friend who urged me to try a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I wasn't too thrilled about the price of that drink but I have to say it.was.delicious.
Now perhaps these 'fancy' drinks are a daily for some but for me..this was a treat. And I must have another one.
ETA--not specific to coffee/hot drinks.

My faves are a Caramel Macchiato or a Vanilla Chai Latte

I don't really "do" Starbucks, but once a year I go to buy a Gingerbread latte - only available around the holidays. Yummy.

[infomama]

She mentioned the Gingerbread Latte was also delish. Must try that next month.

" flavors of coconut, nuts, sweet caramel and vanilla. this irresistible coffee will satisfy your craving for something smooth, rich and wonderful."

I can't do fancy drinks. Too much milk or sugar gives me a tummy ache!
When I get my drink on (which rarely happens these days) I am all about vodka sodas with lime.
And then if you're talking Starbucks type coffee drinks, I like espressos or they used to have this tiny little super rich chocolate shot type things that I loved, but they don't have them anymore. Although I rarely go to Starbucks so maybe they are back.

Caiprinhas or Mojitos when I'm not pregnant! :ROTFLMAO:

Soy chai latte is my weekly "treat". A few times during the winter, I absolutely must have a peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks.

I really love coffee but it makes me sick :(. Thank God for chai!!!

Ooh, I can do these too, although after about one I switch to my go-to vodka drink. ;)
It must the be lime or something.

I was 100% addicted to the SB peppermint hot chocolate for several years. This was mostly because the baristas were friendly and there was a SB shop on the ground floor of the building where I worked. (Our office has since been relocated.) Seattle's Best Coffee (many in Borders) also has a peppermint hot chocolate that I like just as much.

Then, last year, when SB came out with their "artisan" drinks, I tried the sea-salt and caramel hot chocolate, which, when made correctly, tastes like a chocolate-covered pretzel (which is one of my favorite snacks) and those became a huge treat as well.

At present, I'm actually jonesing for the pumpkin cream-cheese muffins ... I love that they are only available once a year because otherwise I would be in TROUBLE.

As for alcoholic drinks, I'm a martini girl. Gin, dry, up, olives. OK, it's not fancy, but it gets the job done!

Here in MS, we have a drive thru coffee place called Seattle Drip. I :heartbeat:LOVE:heartbeat: their white chocolate mochas!!! They are soooo good! They are milky and sweet, then again, I do like a little coffee with my milk and sugar!;)
Not that it happens much, but, when I get wild and frisky, I really like a good pomegranite martini!!

[elaineandmichaelsmommy]

i'm usually a plain jane coffee w/ half&half girl but i do LOVE a few of those frou-frou 4bucks drinks-- pumpkin spice latte, caramel machiatto, and white chocolate peppermint mocha.

when i was pregnant, right before i had to take my GD test i stopped for a pumpkin spiced latte... i thought "maybe i'd like the pumpkin cream cheese muffin too"-- sure enough, i had GD in the worst way (a SHOCKING case according to the OB, a pull out the tissues and prepare for this crazy preggers lady to be hysterical case). anyhow... maybe i knew and that was my last hurrah. :) i had NEVER done that before or since....

after i had my baby (23rd of december...) i wanted a white chocolate peppermint mocha in the worst way. i'd totally abstained of course, since i had that SHOCKING GD... well, of course by the time i figured out i really wanted one on the 24th, they were closed for the holiday. ack! it was awful!

if you ever get a starbucks card, register it and they will occasionally send you free drink coupons. i just got one for my birthday and had my onceor twice yearly pumpkin spice latte. it was GOOD.

[arivecchi]

regular: chai latte and caramel machiatto (year round) caramel apple cider in the fall and winter

alcoholic: the old standby - pina colada ;) (I only drink fancy drinks on vacay - usually at the beach)

[willow33]

Peppermint Mocha & Sangria...yummy!

[MaiseyDog]

I absolutely LOVE Starbucks pumkin spice latte. I will avoid Starbucks all year, but when the Pumpkin Spice Latte's arrive, I have a hard time not stopping everytime I drive by one.

3isthelimit- where in MS are you. My husband is a huge fan of Seattle Drips White Chocolate Mocha.

I really love coffee but it makes me sick :(. Thank God for chai!!! In honor of this thread, I treated myself to a chai latte this afternoon and ordered it with soy per Laurel's suggestion. Why did I not think about that before??? It tasted sooooo much better! :thumbsup:

[ohiomom1121]

Peppermint Mocha & Sangria...yummy!

DITTO!!!! I love Chai Lattes too...yum.

[billysmommy]

I am unashamedly a Starbucks girl and am there almost every day :) (the baristas even got me a baby present when I had each of the boys) I love the peppermint mochas ~ especially at Christmas when they're in the red cups and have the red sprinkles (that's the only time I get whipped cream on them) I'll also do a gingerbread mocha ~ yummy!!!

When we visit my parents we go to Borders where they have a Seattle's Best Coffee and I've had their gingerbread lattes ~ love the little gingerbread cookie they put on them.


For alcoholic drinks I love, love, love espresso martinis. Also anything with rum in it

Cool. I'm in Madison. I think MS is pretty underrepresented here. I feel left out sometimes, but love reading about how life is in the rest of the country.

My favorite Starbucks treat is the iced triple grande nonfat one pump caramel macchiato. I'm also a fan of their pumpkin lattes this time of year, but can't drink them with more than half the normal amount of syrup.

As for booze...I really dig a good mojito or margarita (rocks, no salt)

[MrsZaz]

Diet Pepsi - icy cold! and if I'm feeling frisky I toss in a slice of lemon.

Am I the only one?

I love all the holidays lattes at Starbucks but I don't drink them often. I also love wine (both white and red) and sake on the rocks!

[bubbaray]

unleaded: Decaf tall soy no foam latte with 1 raw sugar and chocolate powder. I also love peppermint hot chocolate....

leaded: where to start? Caesars. Vodka with pretty much anything. Heck, keep it simple. Vodka rocks. None of that house brand crap.

Of course, I can't remember the last time I had a leaded drink of any sort. I go to Starbucks at least 2x/w, typically more often. I can't help it. Its the rain, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
