    I let the bad thoughts in and ordered a drink that was a mix of espresso and root beer. It wasn’t undrinkable, but I wouldn’t order it again.

    Cold brew and Jarritos mandarin soda is actually pretty good.

      Cold brew, fresh orange juice, and fizzy water over ice is so odd but really good. The Jarritos would be too sweet but with real oj it tastes like smoky orange. I was so skeptical the first time I made it but it’s good.

    I think the problem is the orange flavor syrup. I’ve met people in my country that add lemon to coffee, but you must like the bitter and sour food to enjoy it.

      Honestly, that’s my type. “I fucked up but I won’t complain my way to trying for something better.” I agree, good on both of em.

      I mean, living with the consequences doesn’t mean you have to drink it. Having to buy a second drink that you know you like is still living with the consequences.

    I had an orange latte once it was pretty good only I asked for less sweet and unfortunately all thr sweet came from the orange syrup apparently so it was barely orange at all. Like mfer I asked for orange if I wanted less orange I would have said less orange

    I can see the logic Coffee is typically used as a flavour enhancer for dark and milk chocolate.

    Orange flavour goes great with dark and milk choc

    Therefore, it should work with cappuccino.

    Raspberry can work with coffee IF you add cocoa, similarly I would imagine orange would do better with some chocolate as well.

    imo coffee is so utterly disgusting it doesn’t matter what you put in it. You could piss in a cup of coffee and it wouldn’t taste any worse.

    Full respect.

    I think some people view coffee from shops as paying for… the experience? The barista offering to make her something else. But I’m like that lady - I made the choice, I live with the consequences. lol. Nobody made her order that. But it was nice to be offered the remake. But I also probably wouldn’t’ve taken it. lol. Just… remembered for next time. hehe

    That said, I think some coffee shops do price their coffee more on the “experience” than the product/taste… heh.

    Sonic at one point had a big ad campaign that you could put anything you want in any drink. I bought a strawberry slushy with chocolate syrup in it. Took one drink, cringed, and threw it away. Not my proudest moment.

    I have done that with beer. I never get the same beer twice, I always get a variety.

    Protip: pistachio beer tastes like sadness.

        When a tire company can’t sell tires, it makes up a restaurant review system to get people to drive more.

        Is the jobs market really that bad that Indeed has turned to brewing?

      pistachio beer

      Who the fuck had the audacity to disrespect pistachios like this? I still can’t forgive dairy companies for pistachio ice cream, but now the alcohol industry has drawn my ire

      My experience with pistachio beer was mild horror. Like being unsure where you left your keys and taking more than a minute to find them.

      I’m generally the same. I live in a region of America with a bustling craft beer scene. I don’t think I could try all the different brews around here if I tried.

      There are some exceptions. I.e., Heady Topper…I don’t think it’s really all that great of a beer, tbh. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it’s worthy of all the hype that it gets…but damn if that hype doesn’t make me want to order it whenever I see it actually on a menu.

      I once mixed mango pulp in beer. It was GLORIOUS. Best drink ever.

      Mango lassi with vodka, however, was not the best match. Not bad, but not great either.

            Yeah! I definitely went through some shit when I had that beer. Most of that shit being defined by phrases such as: Why did I buy this garbo? Who make this garbo? What were they smoking when they made this garbo? Can I buy an ounce of what they were smoking, because it must be some goooood shit. Also, I need to get the taste of pistachio beer out of my mouth, and smoking on that good stuff will definitely help.

      I used to not be able to leave the table until they could press on my stomach and feel how “full” I was. I used to force myself to eat until I was ready to puke. So now it takes a conscious effort as an adult to stop eating when I’m full.

    The thing is, some light roasted single-origin coffees can be fruity in flavour without adding anything, and they’re delicious.

      In particular, blueberry is a highly sought after tasting note in Ethiopian coffee.

      But Ethiopian coffee hasn’t been as good as it was 10 or so years ago unfortunately.
