This discussion is anything you want to share drink-wise. My first contribution is called Blueberry Simple Syrup to be used in iced tea, tea, lemonade, iced coffee, coffee etc. The syrup is very versatile. 3 ingredients! You can purchase all ingredients at the dollar store!

    Make whatever coffee creamer you like with this recipe!

    First of all, you do not need specifically half n half. Personally, I choose skim fat free milk.

    Then, you do not have pure maple syrup? Neither do I. Use pancake syrup!

    Next, finally, is the vanilla extract. Most kitchen pantries have this.

    Don't want vanilla coffee creamer like above? Play with this extracts! Amaretto, for example, for Amaretto coffee creamer.

    I hope that you like this coffee creamer recipe and save a ton of money!

    I got ripped off royally. There is a company called Amaretti that sells coffee syrup. I thought to myself that they seemed like a respectable company. So, I bought a large bottle of sugar free Amaretto coffee syrup for a total of $29.00. Tasted so nasty. I complained. Their company told me to choose a replacement bottle for free. So, I chose dark chocolate. Still nasty. So, just do not buy any syrup from the Amaretti company.

    Since I am on the Slim Fast diet now, I cannot have all of the mochas that I want. So, I got online last night and ordered myself a canister of no sugar Swiss Miss hot chocolate to prepare my ever-blessed and loyal mochas and can have as many as I want!

    Personally, I would like this in the version of iced tea! One batch prepares 12 servings! Very frugal!

    What do you think?

    As for the no sugar Swiss Miss, I never received the canister but I did get my money refunded. Atleast the seller was honest.

    This is mostly known as a New York Egg Cream! Such drink is one of my favorite mocktails. If you like virgin or non-alcoholic drinks, join my team called Mocktails, Etc.

    This mocktail is good to have if you are craving a drink but have no booze in your house. Takes the urge away. The recipe is as follows:

    I copied the below from the above link. Personally, I would use seltzer, club soda or sparkling water. Maybe even diet 7 up in place of tonic water. To me, tonic water just does not taste good. Also, you can buy blocks of espresso at Dollar Tree! Cha-Ching! I hope that you like!

    Ferris Coffee & Nut has roasted coffee for more than a century and supplies plenty of breweries with coffee, so we know they like alcohol. The company’s cafes in Michigan play with coffee drinks and non-alcoholic cocktails pretty regularly and they use crazy ingredients, like Coca-Cola, tart cherry juice, green apple, and red grape juice.

    1 shot espresso
    2 oz red grape juice
    2 oz tonic water
    1 small bar of dark chocolate
    Method: Pull shot of espresso and add to a chocolate square in cocktail shaker along with grape juice. Shake. Strain into rocks or coupe and top off with tonic water. Garnish with speared grape.

    Lately, I have been drinking alot of Arnold Palmers! The mocktail really quenches the thirst!

    One part lemonade and one part iced tea. Again, no alcohol.

    This is the easiest way to prepare Pink Lemonade. Instead, simply buy a bottle of lemon juice just like you would buy a bottle of cranberry juice.

    Voila!

    The following is the recipe:
