Welcome back to another blog about coffee!
It’s spring break, so I had all this time to go out and try a new coffee place. I went on a college visit in St. Louis, which has tons of coffee places that my hometown doesn’t have. Instead of trying one of those coffee places, I played it safe and got coffee from McDonald’s. I was going to get the chocolate chip frappe, but for some reason the McDonalds in St. Louis didn’t have that. That is why this week is going to be about a mocha frappe instead!
The mocha frappe is mixed with ice, a bunch of chocolate flavor, and coffee. Whip cream and chocolate syrup are added to top the drink off. There was too much of the chocolate flavor, which caused the coffee flavor to be not as apparent. Because the drink was mainly chocolate, the drink was extremely sweet. I usually like my coffee somewhat sweet, but when you can only taste the chocolate and not the coffee, it’s not the greatest. This drink could’ve been better if the chocolate and coffee flavor were balanced. I was still able to drink it, but it was really just a cup of sugar.
Once I got to the college I was visiting, I still had some of the frappe left. Instead of bringing it with me, I left it in my car. It was a sunny day and warmer than usual, so it wasn’t the greatest idea to leave a cold drink in my car, but I obviously wasn’t thinking. After the visit was over, I went back to my car, and the frappe was melted. I didn’t want to waste it, so I tried drinking it. It was warm and didn’t taste that good. I’d recommend drinking this frappe only when it’s cold. The warm frappe was like drinking chocolate syrup. It’s definitely better cold!
On the bright side, the frappe is only between two and four dollars. Mcdonald’s even has an app where you can sometimes get a dollar off the frappe or other deals related to their coffees! If you want to try this drink, go get the app and save some money!
