What's your flavor?
I'm wondering what peoples' favorite drinks are? especially soy drinks =) I'm looking for new ideas to keep things interesting.
My favorite is a soy white mocha with almond and peppermint flavoring

Favorite flavor? The many varied flavors of the unadulterated bean. Can you imagine a coffee tasting like blueberry pie, or a tropical fruit salad, or maplenut icecream or spiced toasted oatmeal or or or ? I'm not talking flavors from a bottle, the coffees themselves. Coffee, pure unaduterated coffee, can be a true culinary experience.
But it's ok, you're new to the world of coffee!

As much as I love pure coffee, I openly admit I am a sucker for French Vanilla (note it must be french!).
Warm day? I drink cold coffee mixed with some Fr. Van. ice cream.
Best thing ever that was just coffee? SOE Guat. antigua over ice. It tastes like sour apples on its own and I think I cried when I first had it.

Those sound amazing. I work for a more corporate coffee shop so we don't really get a whole lot of different coffee blends but I will definitely look out for some new ones to try. If you have any that you absolutely love, let me know =)

To protect my fragile ego and my coffee geek cred, let me say that I generally agree with Mr. McGuinness up there. However, I've had plenty of time to screw around with syrups and such, and everyone seems to really like this drink. It's great in the summer when you want something sweet and different.
I've always liked how caramel and soy compliment each other--they've both got a certain nuttiness. To begin, dose out the amount of soy milk you'd use for an iced latte, than add caramel--or whatever--syrup, to taste or as is appropriate for the size you're making. Stir until you've got flavored soy milk. Add ice. Now, pull your shots and pour them carefully on top. DON'T STIR, and drink with a straw. The drink will start out sweet, but taste more and more of espresso as you go. At the end, you're basically drinking a sort of iced americano.
Technically, it's an iced soy caramel latte macchiato, which I must admit is an incredibly obnoxious name. Again, it makes the purist in me cringe, but it's also, occasionally, delicious. Let me know what you think!

Matt I'm on the same page as you. I adore pure espresso and I can recognize and appreciate the different flavors in different blends and those brought out in different brewing processes. But, after being a barista for going on 5 years now, I still prefer a short double white chocolate breve. Its a sin and Coffee Jesus isn't impressed but what can you do :)
A soy drink you might enjoy
This is preferably in an 8 oz cup
heat up your mug using americano water
dump the water
coat the wet bottom of the cup with finely ground cinnamon
pull two shots over the cinnamon without stirring
steam about 1 tblspoon honey WITH your soy
pour
enjoy

demitasse with a nice espresso or ristretto...
I think an affogato is about as outlandish as I get.

My absolute favorite drink is a double shot white chocolate espresso con panna. It is a fantastic medium if you want a strong espresso drink but like the sugary stuff. The best of both worlds. Another is a Soy Caramel Macchiato. Hope this helps!

I do this for a bud of mine, who is a huge Danzig fan. Its called 'Dirty Black Summer'.
- 1 tbsp dark choco powder ; i typically use 88% ghiradelli
- 1 tsp muscavado sugar
- 2 oz h2o, hot, to melt that stuff
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (100,000 btu shit)
- double shot of a heavier bodied espresso (most Brazils work)
All that in a martini shaker, shake it.
Pour over 4 oz soy, with 400ml ice.
Tastes like a spicy coffee flavored Yoohoo.

I'm also a sucker for flavors. I love combining citrus flavors with chocolate, especially orange. Raspberry and caramel also work well together. Usually, if I'm feeling like it's not the day for an espresso macchiato, I'll make myself a mocha, because it's not too sweet. But I do love playing around with flavors. A coworker has told me that vanilla and orange are the best together, apparently they taste like a creamsickle. I've never tried it though.
