Holiday Latte Watch


Pumpkin lattes are here. Starbucks, Pete's, Coffee Bean and Tully's all have them. It's only a matter of time before holiday flavors roll out too. Eggnog, and gingerbread, and peppermint mocha, oh my! They are the most sugar loaded things on the planet, yet for some reason I absolutely lurve them. Actually save up all my nickels and dimes during the year to supplement my latte allowance during the all too short flavor appearance. The first holiday latte of the year has somehow even become it's own holiday with my bestie Aaron. We go and order the biggest size of our fave (for me it's gingerbread, for him it's nog) and go on a shopping frenzy during the peak of our sugar high. It's pretty much a euphoric religious experience. Seeing how the cappuccino was invented by the capuchin monks I think it's fair to say it is. Time start watching for the red cup! It's almost as wonderful as the red insole on a pair of Louboutins.
