Adult Coffee Soda

Happy Thirsty Thursday!  Last week's Homemade Cream Soda was so yummy, I had to concoct an adult version.  

Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons of a dark rum

- 2 tablespoons of coffee

- a handful of ice

- 1/2 cup club soda

- 2 tablespoons of hazelnut syrup 

- 1 tablespoon of vanilla

- 1 tablespoon of half and half

- whipped cream and cherry for garnish

Directions:

Pour the rum and coffee into a glass.  Then the ice and club soda.  Stir, then add the syrups, and stir. Pour the half and half over the top, add the whipped cream and cherry.  Admire.

Fully stir everything together, and enjoy.  

This drink is yummy!  The alcohol flavor is very subtle, and the coffee with the hazelnut complements the rum flavor nicely.  Again Happy Thirsty Thursday, chris!

Irish Coffee

We bought a new coffee maker this week so I had to enjoy an Irish Coffee for today's Thirsty Thursday.  

Ingredients:

- a splash of whiskey

- a tablespoon of sugar

- a tablespoon of milk

- coffee

Directions: 

Brew some coffee.  However much you'd like, and at the same strength you normally drink.  While it's brewin' grab a mug and pour in the whiskey, sugar, and milk.  When the coffee is done pour it in, stir and enjoy.  

The better the whiskey the better this drink will taste.  Flavored creamer can be fun to experiment with too.  Hope you enjoy, and happy Thirsty Thursday, chris! 

Buckeyes Coffee Milkshake

Happy Thirsty Thursday! For this week's addition I made a Buckeyes Coffee Milkshake.  

Ingredients:

- a handful of buckeyes

- 3 tablespoons of cool whip

- 2 tablespoons of drumstick ice cream

- 1/4 cup cold coffee

- 2.5 tablespoons of milk

Blend all the ingredients together, and enjoy.  As you can see the buckeyes settled to the bottom, so I enjoyed mine with a spoon.   

The coffee flavor worked perfectly with the other flavors.  Be careful though, this milkshake is rich!  I love blending random sweet things I have around the kitchen together.  You can never go wrong with chocolate, peanut butter, and milk!

Happy DIYing, chris!
