At Last! (Imagine the song playing in the background)

drink 1.jpg

OK, so for most of you this isn't a big deal, but I have been going through withdrawal over some things for the last 4 years we've lived here! We are getting a Starbucks! This is MAJOR for me. Starbucks was practically a daily stop for me in Maryland and I have been suffering all this time!

I seriously think I could've called my blog "Beverage Queen" or something because I love so many drinks besides just tea. I love smoothies, coffee (Vietnamese iced coffee, mochas, Frappacinos, etc.) and lots of types of tea (hot, iced, bubble tea, Thai iced tea) . . . So now I have one more place to stop for something refreshing.

What are your favorite drinks?

Call me "the beverage queen," too. Some of my very favorites are hot spiced chai, iced coffee, spearmint tea (made from fresh spearmint leaves picked from the garden), sassafras tea, sparkling lemonade, Orangina, root beer, birch beer, fudge soda, ginger beer ... gosh, you name it! :)

They are opening it near McAllister's next to the Krispy Kreme Donuts. :-)

Not to burst your bubble but there's another place here that has such good coffee they've actually ruined Starbucks for me. I'm sad because I loved going there. Favorite Starbucks beverages in the past have been... Coffee Frappucino with Mint, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Vanilla Latte. Now that I bring those back up maybe I'm NOT over them. Hmmm.

Any way I understand not having one, we used to drive half an hour JUST to go to Starbucks. So happy you're getting one :) !

That's funny. Although we have many in Phx, I really want one on the corner of my block, even wrote starbucks telling them there was a space available. So far, hasn't happened. Probably for the best. I don't go there too often because I tend to lean towards the high-calorie drinks. I, of course, like different teas and am currently addicted to Jone's Soda's Naturals (Strawberry Manilow or De Peach Mode--yum!)

I am boring. I really love a cold glass of water with ice. That is my water. And for soda I like grape, for juice I like cranberry. For alcoholic beverages which I like strawberry daquiri, mojitos and mudslides.

Dallas is the first place I have lived that has a starbucks. Can't imagine life without it now. My favorite is either the cafe mocha or the mocha frappacino (however you spell thoat)
