you named it what??? i must try one!
what are some drinks you guys make out there that people have to buy based solely on the witty name you've given it?
i started making dirty chais with a shot of cherry in them and named it "the dirty cherry" and of course, everyone had to have it because the name just about caused a scandal in my silly little conservative town...

The best one I ever came up with was "The Aztec Warrior". Masala Chai, Mexican choco, and a double shot of some tasty ass spro. Pour a rosetta and there you go.
Tasty without being too sweet. Too bad nobody ever got the inside joke behind that.

That sounds great! I've always loved what I've heard called a "Shanghai Express" which is a Chai with espresso added & I've always loved an Aztec Mocha (Mexican Cocoa with espresso) so that combines both!

Last Spring I was doing a Festival in Nashville & we where doing tons of Red Eye's. It was weird, people kept coming up asking for a cup of coffee & could we put a shot of espresso in it cause they needed the extra caffeine. They where all asking for it as if we might not have ever heard of it. After a few of these got ordered I started calling it an Ethiopian Painkiller (that day I was brewing Ethiopian). I decided I liked that name but I figured people would recognize Colombian more than Ethiopian so I decided to come up with a drink called "The Colombian Painkiller" From the name, I started working on what the drink would be. I came up with a frozen cappuccino (our biggest sellers at festivals & we make it in a large margarita freezer) with a fresh shot of espresso floated on top, an espresso flavored whipped cream & a chocolate covered coffee bean on top (the pill if you will). We shoot espresso throughout the day & keep it cool so when we pour the espresso on top, it doesnt melt the drink, it just leaves a dark layer right on top. Then the brown colored whipped cream (we use the same chilled espresso when we make our ISI whipped cream) looks really cool. Most people drink the whole drink with the espresso still on top & by the time they get to the bottom, they end up with a really strong shot & then they eat the bean. I sell tons of them. Its the 2nd item on my menu right under Frozen Cappuccino & people ask what it is all the time. I think some people even order it just because of the name & have no idea whats in it!
I also came up with a drink we dont sell (only for our personal enjoyement) Called "Big Brown" named after the Racehorse. Its the same frozen cappuccino mixed with Woodfords Reserve Kentucky Bourbon! Woodfords is the official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby so it fits. I came up with it at a Horse Show I was working & it was great! After that I decided to make a drink along the horse name that I could sell & I simply called it "The Racehorse". Its basically a Colombian Painkiller without the frills & in a 20oz cup instead of a 16oz cup. I put about 3 ounces of espresso in the bottom of the cup & pour the frozen cappuccino on top of that. No Whip, nothing else.

Whenever me and another girl close, we always have fun names just for our drip coffee. Like Erotic Ethiopian, or Sexy Sumatra and don't forget Naughty Nicaraguan. So much fun.
