June 1 - Frozen Coffee Drinks

Frappuccino: an adult milkshake available at Starbuck's that satisfies addiction to caffeine and craving for ice cream. It's not actually ice cream, but a "blended beverage" made of ice, milk, coffee, sugar and other yummy ingredients. The delicious, frosty concoction gives me a bit of a shiver, even on a hot day. I favor caramel, and it also comes in java chip, mocha and plain-old coffee.

Dunkin Donuts serves something called a Coffee Coolatta that oozes out of a machine. It will do in a pinch, but it's grainy and has an artificial taste.

The Frappuccino is too calorie-laden and pricey to have every day, but I treat myself once a week or so during the summer. They also have a "light" version with skim milk and artificial sweetener, but faced with such choices, I always go for the real thing and have it less often.
