What’s in your cup?

A companion thread to What's on your plate? 

I thought it would fun to share what we’re all drinking. It could be your favourite tea or show of your crowd pleasing cocktail recipes. What’s in your cup?

Right now, I’m enjoying a nice cup of ginger peach tea with milk and honey. It’s nice and calming before bed.

And shout out to the original thread  I kinda found out too late about this and it’s been far too long since it was updated.

I order the #Lavazza cold brew in variety 12-packs. The Nitro is so smooth that I drink it unsweetened with a splash of creamer. The glass straws come from Dear Dahlia. I love coffee in the morning. 

@JoSometimes Wherever did you find your special cup?

LOOKS DELICIOUS @MissKPorter !!!!

[JoSometimes]

@MissKPorter Wow! I didn’t know Lavazza had cold brew in a can. Sounds delicious and I could totally use a can today. 

I got my Dr. Seuss cup from the Dr. Seuss experience when it was in town a few years ago. I absolutely could not leave without a souvenir.

Felt like something fancy but easy tonight so I made kind of a violet mimosa (or something like that)! This is a melamine champagne flute because I was going outside with it!

@sister13 ooh, I have to try that.  So pretty on your glass

[sister13]

Yes! I have gotten my cousin and two friends who have all now bought and loved this violet syrup! It’s sweet and floral but not like drinking perfume. Also super nice with gin! Obviously you can just find it on Amazon directly, but if you want to order from my blog link it’s makeuphappyhour dot com and it’s in the first Cocktails post! I just get a few cents that way, lol. Definitely let me know if you try it! 💗💗 @CorgiMommy 

[JoSometimes]

Ooo very fancy @sister13! Where’d you get the syrup? 

[jaaayp]

I have to second what @JoSometimes said... FANCY. Didn't even realize violet was a flavor! Although arguably, people enjoy lavender and rose syrups 🤔🤔🤔

[sister13]

Amazon! If you go to my blog, makeuphappyhour dot com, then cocktails, It’s linked in the first post! It’s nice, not too fakey floral  and not too sweet! I had a mini of it and had to order the full bottle, I love it! @JoSometimes

So I love my espresso but I wanted to try something new so I started making vietnamese coffee at home. It's pretty therapeutic for me like how you would make pour over (almost)!

P.S. detective Bandita is always on patrol at this house, performing quality check on all coffees

Oh that’s great, I should make some again soon, it’s been years! Do you ice yours? @jaaayp 

[jaaayp]

@sister13 yes! I actually never drink anything hot unless it's like below 40 degrees 😂😂😂 I feel like the coffee is so strong, ice does not dilute it at all!

[JoSometimes]

@jaaayp Vietnamese coffee is so delicious! It does a great job at preventing me from sleeping through…

[jaaayp]

@JoSometimes I drink and go right to sleep! LOL but if it makes you jittery... maybe time to lay off the caffeine! 

interesting fact I learned... @JoSometimes @sister13 I was told that people who can fall asleep right after caffeine (or a lot of caffeine), they are able to do that because your body tends to shut down and sleep off the caffeine since it can't take it anymore. So it's not a good sign but also depends on your tolerance 😂😂😂

[sister13]

Haha, it reminds me of a Korean restaurant back home in Maryland that was our absolute favorite. My mom would order the iced coffee (Vietnamese style) and the owner would argue with her every time about drinking it too late, but my mom said it didn’t bother her! 🤣🤣🤣 @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

@sister13 Ugh… I have a few people in my life who are like that. I’ll never understand it!

In university, I worked at Second Cup (Canadian Starbucks) and became a 5-cups a day kind of person. But I got so jittery, my writing looked like squiggles. I quit coffee and save it only for really early or rough mornings and I can only have it before lunch or I can’t sleep at night.
