Iced Mochas – Perfect Even in Freezing Weather!

The prevailing wisdom, and common sense, tends to state that you should drink cold espresso drinks when it’s hot outside and warm ones if it’s cold outside. Well, being the little rule breaker that I am, I tend to go for ice mochas whenever possible. Of course, if it’s morning and chilly outside, you won’t catch me milling around with cold iced mocha in my hand!

I pretty much prefer all of my espresso drinks cold, from caramel macchiatos to Americanos. One thing that I notice is that I drink them a lot faster. For some reason, it takes me forever to sip on a regular, hot grande espresso drink. That is my preferred size.

This is where I get into trouble when I make my own drinks at home. I know that there are ways to make your own ice espresso drinks at home but I haven’t yet done it myself. I don’t know why it seems daunting, especially when I already know how to make mochas at home myself! Either way, I drink hot drinks when I make them myself but most of the time, I order iced drinks when I buy espresso drinks.

While I don’t drink them a lot, I do enjoy the Starbucks Frappuccino. The coconut mocha Frappuccino is absolutely to die for. The only issue for me is that they only contain coffee, and I need espresso! I love to grab a Frappuccino, such as the coconut mocha and add one or two shots of espresso (I’m a bit hardcore), and go along my way! I say that iced mochas are a hit every single day, in all types of weather!
