Unusual Coffee-Based Drinks Around the World

[Jetgirly]

Recently I was in Lithuania where the coffee chain Vero Cafe had a summer special called a Bumblebee. It was a large glass of cold Fanta Orange (orange soda) with a pump of caramel syrup and a shot of espresso. In the end I thought the flavours all just cancelled each other out- it was pretty bland for such a calorie bomb.

What other unusual coffee-based drinks have you seen?

this morning I made a cup of decaf for me while hubby's was making in the pot. in my decaf, and this isn't unusual, I put in a packet of Hershey's Bliss dark chocolate cocoa mix and came out with a mocha. pretty dern good I might say.

Vietnamese Egg Coffee; hot or cold but I think the hot is tastier.

Already been mentioned, but coffee soda, was too sweet for me.

[Tripeler]

Ah, Expressoda. My wife tried that, and WOW was it sweet. She never bought it again.

I put a couple cans of Costco tuna in a girlfriends work cubby because she is a fanatic about tuna and eats it everyday. I so enjoyed this gal that I wanted to put a silly smile on her face by giving her a nutty gift. she inturn put a bottle of coffee syrup from her home state of Rhode Island in my work cubby. I've never known what to do with it though, maybe now I need to add it to a sparkling water of some kind, maybe even an orange flavored fizzy water, I could create something yummy, who knows.

Coffee Flavoured Milk Tea.

Has no one else tried Manhattan Special? New York's own brand of espresso flavored soda?

[ipsedixit]

Sort of like Coke Blak?

[JungMann]

I've never tried Coke Blak. Manhattan Special was enough of a foray into carbonated espresso to know that I'm not a fan.

Coffee brewed with sour plum juice (not mixed, but actually brewed).

Sea Salt Coffee

Coffee liqueur and orange juice. It was pretty nice too. The guy who introduced me too it named it the liquid jaffa cake.

Oh Musie, I thought it was absolutely awful.
