This week we’ll complete some of the more common espresso-based drinks sold in most coffee houses. I must say though, this is where the sweet tooth takes over from the basic lust for the good coffee taste.

Mocha’s are basically the same drink as the latte but with chocolate. Caramel Mocha’s again are made the same as lattes but both caramel & chocolate is added to the cup prior to the coffee & foamed milk. Both are rich & quite popular in the South. Don’t forget to add the whipped cream & chocolate syrup atop these fine drinks. The calorie count has been long forgotten on these tasty delights.

So there we have it. The basic range of espresso drinks starts with the simple espresso shot & then develops into cappuccinos, lattes, mocha’s & caramel mocha’s. There are many more varieties or additions to this basic format.

At the Safari Cup we have the St. Patrick’s special or a Valentines special. Keep an eye out for these specials. Unlike some requests we get, these are well thought out & tried out combinations that make for a very pleasing experience.
