Winter Drinks...

I'm one of those people who is always drinking. I drink so much! Usually Tea (no sugar) or blackcurrant squash. But while it's been cold I've tried some other drinks whilst being out and about.

Firstly I tried a Costa Honeycomb Hot Chocolate after so many people had recommended them. Although it was yummy as far as Hot Chocolate goes; with a slight hint of the honeycomb warming you up inside.  I must say I would still choose Costa Peppermint Hot Chocolate any day, just because I love mint chocolate. 
Too busy to drink, take out it is! 

I also ventured into ShakeAway! I felt like a 12 year old walking in there and seeing all of the chocolates and sweets on the wall to choose from. Instead I chose a more 'grown-up' shake called 'Sylvia'; Apple pie, cinnamon and custard... YUM!
Tasted like Festive Spirit in my mouth!

When talking to my friend from Uni who lived in America a few years ago, we got onto the topic of Eggnog and how she make it every year for Christmas. I had never tried it so I goggled it to if we have it in England. You can buy Advocaat in most supermarkets but I'm not sure if this is the same. 
I found some in the 'overseas' part of TESCO in a carton. 
My verdict is; it is a taste i have never come close to before... a bit like custard with a perfume taste and a hint of nutmeg. I don't think I will be in a hurry to try it again, unless it's homemade.

Can be purchased at TESCO
