Drinks

Okay, so I saw this thing online about a chocolatey coffee drink from the NYT, and I thought, “Why not give it a try?” I mean, who doesn’t love chocolate and coffee, right? Let me tell you about my little adventure making this drink. First off, I gathered all my stuff. This wasn’t too hard, really. I already had most of it in my kitchen. I’m talking about coffee, of course, some cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and I think that was pretty much it. Oh, and some chocolate. I just…

So, last weekend, I had a few drinks with my buddies. Everything was fine and dandy until the next morning. I woke up with this weird pain in my chest. It wasn’t super intense, but it was definitely there, and it got me a bit worried. I mean, chest pain? That’s not something you just ignore, right? First thing I did was try to remember how much I actually drank. It wasn’t a crazy night, but we did have a fair amount of beer and a couple of shots. I…

I wanted to figure out how much those fancy champagne drinks actually cost. You know, the ones they serve at bars and restaurants. So, I decided to do a little digging and see what goes into the price of these bubbly beverages. First, I looked into the cost of the champagne itself. I mean, that’s the main ingredient, right? Turns out, there’s a huge range in prices for champagne. Some bottles are relatively affordable, while others can cost an arm and a leg. I found that the average price for…

Okay, let’s talk about making some ceramic drink coasters. I’ve been wanting to try this out for a while, and I finally got around to it. I gotta say, it was a pretty fun project! First things first, I gathered all my materials. I had some old ceramic tiles lying around from a bathroom remodel, so those were perfect. Besides the tiles, I grabbed some: Acrylic paints – all sorts of colors Paintbrushes – different sizes for details and larger areas Felt – for the bottom of the coasters, so…

Okay, so I got my wisdom teeth taken out last week. It was a real pain, let me tell you. I mean, they gave me some good drugs, so the actual surgery wasn’t too bad, but the recovery has been a whole other story. My face was swollen like a chipmunk’s. I looked ridiculous. And the pain? Don’t even get me started. I was living off of soft foods, which got old really fast. But the worst part? No soda. I’m a big soda person. I love the bubbles, the…

So, I finally decided to take the plunge and get that tattoo I’d been thinking about forever. It’s a pretty sick design, if I do say so myself, and I was super stoked to get it done. But then, like a total noob, I started wondering about the aftercare. Specifically, could I grab a celebratory drink afterward? I mean, I survived the needle, right? First things first, I hit up my tattoo artist. I was really nervous about this part, cause I wanted to make sure to do things right….

Okay, so I’ve been trying to cut back on coffee, but I still need that kick in the morning, you know? So I thought, maybe energy drinks are the way to go. I’ve heard about this one called Bucked Up, and a big question for me was: just how much caffeine is in this stuff? First thing I did was grab a can from the store. The design is pretty wild, all these bright colors and stuff. I flipped it around, looking for the nutrition facts. It took a minute…

I’ve always been a big fan of iced tea, you know, that refreshing, cool drink that just hits the spot on a hot day. Recently, I got hooked on Brisk, and let me tell you, it’s been a flavor adventure! My First Sip I remember the first time I tried Brisk. It was their classic Lemon Iced Tea. I was at a picnic, the sun was blazing, and someone handed me a can. It was ice cold, and that first sip was a lifesaver. Strong taste, not too sweet, just…

Okay, here’s my take on the bourbon cream drinks based on my recent experiment: So, I’ve been seeing this “bourbon cream” thing popping up everywhere lately, and my curiosity finally got the better of me. I mean, bourbon? Good. Cream? Good. Together? Had to find out. I decided to dive in and make my own little concoction. First off, I grabbed my bottle of bourbon. Nothing too fancy, just a decent mid-shelf one I had lying around. I also got some heavy cream from the fridge. I read online that…

Okay, so the other day, I was scrolling through some cocktail recipes online, ’cause, you know, sometimes you just need a little something to spice up the evening. And I stumbled upon this thing called the “Black Betty.” Sounded kinda cool, kinda mysterious, so I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” First things first, I had to gather my ingredients. I’m not a professional bartender or anything, so I just used what I had at home, basically rum, vodka, some cranberry juice, and club soda. I didn’t have any…
