Title: Yay! I figured out how to duplicate a favorite drink!
Post by: Flame on May 27, 2008, 09:59:04 AM
The Starbucks Frappacinos that you can buy in the glass bottles....the had a peppermint mocha one that I love, but it's SOOOOOOOOO expensive.   Got a wild hair yesterday and tried to re-create it at home, and score...yummy!!!   

My 13 yr old is happy, too, 'cause he loved them, but I'd never buy them!

A little leftover coffee, a bottle of chocolate sauce, and a few bottle of flavoring syrup can work miracles.  I've been making my own for sometime.  I like mine better.

Leftover coffee from Mr Flame's morning pot of coffee
milk
hershey's syrup and peppermint extract

(sweetened a little bit with Splenda)

left it in the fridge for a while (made a pitcher) and served over ice



Mixed as follows:  a little more coffe than milk,  1/4 to 1/2 lid of extract (a little goes a LONG way!) and a healthy squirt of chocolate....adjust to taste.

The sugar free flavored liquid coffee creamers work great for this as well....I just have mine "on the rocks" so I skip the brain freeze and the blender.....

When I worked for Starbucks we had plenty of "Starbucks Sponsored" parties. 

A couple of sleeves of Grande cups for the keg and mixed drinks.  A few things of those plastic sample cups for shots.

Frap mix to make up with Kahlua.

Tazo fruit mix stuff to blend up with vodka, the Mango one was my favorite.

Oh and a 40 gallon trash bag filled with ice.

Ahh, those were the good days.

Why yes. It's a term from days of old, Circa 1980's :whatever:

I remember people yelling out "barkeep" and also "barmaid"..... :-) Mostly in 80's early 90's....not sure what they say now, not in bars very often, if ever...
