Hot Beverages

The weather has gotten colder which means it is appropriate hot beverage time.

Now I've never been a big coffee person but I'm learning to appreciate it's caffeinated qualities. I went into a cafe a couple of months ago and basically stared for two minutes at the list of choices available. My thought process went something along the lines of "hmm Americano has the word American in it, that's probably fine." I learned quickly that was a faulty thought process. However it is not so bad with about five cubes of sugar in it. Last week I went into the same cafe and got a Mocha and I think I have finally found my choice of coffee. It was a good combination of being a legitimate type of coffee but not really tasting like coffee. I know this defeats the purpose of coffee but at least I can order Mochas in most cafes as opposed to Strawberry Mochachinos which had been my go-to Starbucks drink.

UCC is so big on their hot beverages that they even have a Hot Beverage Appreciation Society.

However another one wonderful thing about being in Ireland is that it is the home of Baileys. And I learned that Baileys with hot chocolate....pretty good drink for a cold day.
