I mentioned in one of my posts my personal quest for the ultimate coffee experience. Last night, my journey began… First stop: Delifrance, Podium. I heard a few weeks ago that they are offering a new coffee treat. The product, while not really a novel concept, is still commendable precisely because Delifrance is perhaps the first cafe chain to offer such to its customers at this magnitude. The Spiked Coffee series. Yes, it’s coffee mixed with alcohol. And I love it.

They offer 5 kinds: the Irish Kiss Baileys, Irish Kiss Baileys Iced, Mayan Passion Kahlua, Mayan Passion Kahlua Iced and Sputnik Vodka Espresso. My favorites: Mayan Passion Kahlua and the Irish Kiss Baileys. Initially I thought it was going to be a milquetoast of a drink. But the first sip demolished the wall of doubt and skepticism. It was genius. The Mayan Passion Kahlua will let you in a joyriimg385/8783/mayanpassionwholert8.jpgde of caffeine bliss with buzzy aftershocks. You could vaguely taste the kahlua at first. It’s basically iced coffee with whip cream. But the dash of kahlua and the lemon-sugared rim made the experience unique. You can taste the kahlua before you taste the coffee and a hint of alcohol aftertaste ensues afterwards. If you really want to give yourself a treat after a long day’s work, this is the drink for you. It’s a very relaxing and inviting beverage. (read the rest of the entry here)
