Starbucks Tuesday!

Linking up with Kelli today for Starbucks Tuesday!

I know, I know, the drink I am holding is obviously not from Starbucks or even a coffee shop at all. But the drink mix was found at a coffee shop and it is seriously the BEST hot chocolate EVER! 

My family will attest to my overly picky and lofty dreams of finding the perfect, not to sweet, spicy, smooth , not to thick and not to thin full of chocolaty flavor, hot chocolate, and my friends we have found it!!!!

It's a Mayan inspired blend, so has cinnamon, vanilla and almond flavor in there along with the chocolate and mixes up smooth, I hate drinking grainy bits! It's also pretty reasonably priced, definitely cheaper then going to a coffee shop every day.....

.....Yes, I may be having a cup every day.....

.....Hey, it's only 8oz..... 

.....Of course I have to top it with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of roasted cinnamon.....

.....Mmmmmm!

Here's a link to there website, be forewarned they kind of only sell huge containers of things!

Mocafe

Here is where we bought it (after we devoured the small container my Mom got for Christmas!) It was  a little cheaper and we got free shipping!

Amazon

Buckhead Tuesday.....

.....AKA the day formally known as Starbucks Tuesday, but as the nearest Starbucks is 20 minutes away, we discovered a new, and my favorite coffee joint.

Even though on a recent Saturday many good ol' boys were spotted waiting for their pre-hunting coffee (does it seem weird to get a fancy coffee drink before you go and hide in the woods to shoot something or is it just me?)  it's like someone took a coffee joint, hipsters included, and plopped it down in the middle of my small southern town, and for this little bit of northwestern flavor I am extremely grateful, as I may be a wee bit home sick for the cold and familiar sights of Bend, OR!

Like previously stated they have Amaretto (or almond, or orgeat, whatever you call it!) syrup, so that alone bumps them to favorite status! Some of the other combos I've tried are, white chocolate peppermint, white chocolate cinnamon, Mexican mocha, of course amaretto, and today was cherry chocolate! 

Yum!!

This picture isn't from today, but it's a picture first good amaretto latte I'd had in YEARS, and I just like the picture! How could you not like a picture that includes glitter shoes, coffee and a book?

Linking up with Kelli over at Nothing Less Than Bread! Come on over and join us!

*~Starbucks Tuesday~*

If you are ever traveling along I-84 through Idaho, Utah and Wyoming be forewarned, there is an EXTREME lack of Starbucks! Lots of billboards for this place though.....

.....and what can I say, advertising works on me and now I REALLY want to stay there!

Anywhoodle, we finally found a Starbucks in a Laramie, Wyoming Albertson's and got Cheggs. What is a Chegg you might be asking  Well, it's the most best-est, yummiest, tastiest, diet killing drink EVER! 

Such happy faces!!

If you want to try this fantastic beverage for yourself, just order an iced chai eggnog latte, we prefer them iced, but you can get them hot as well! 

Fare thee well,  my fellow Starbucks fans! I'll see you again in December..... 

Wait.....gah, is it REALLY December next month????? =P
