Killer Questions – Favorite Beverage (Hot or Cold)?
People are often wedded to certain types of coffee, tea, soda, or other drinks. Today, we decided to see how similar or different the Writers Who Kill authors are in their beverage tastes.
Heather Weidner: Iced tea, Dr. Pepper.
Martha Reed: Coffee (hot) or Lemonade (cold).
Sarah Burr: A Mango Refresher from Dunkin’ is my go-to whenever I need a pick-me-up.
Kait Carson: Does wine count? Okay, coffee, from Carrabassett Roasters in Maine – try it, you’ll love it.
Molly MacRae: My go-to drink is cold water. But a favorite drink, one so good we only have it on Christmas morning and only every two or three years, is a recipe called Depths of Sin Hot Chocolate. It lives up to its name.
Mary Dutta: A toss-up between a hot latte and a cold gin and tonic.
Shari Randall: This is a tossup between a frozen margarita and a raspberry lime rickey. I’ll just have both. ;)
Debra H. Goldstein: Coca Cola
Grace Topping: Hot English breakfast tea with a splash of milk— anytime, all day.
Lori Roberts Herbst: Diet Cherry Pepsi
Korina Moss: Coke Zero, although sadly I can’t drink it anymore because of the caffeine.
K.M. Rockwood: Hot mulled cider.
Margaret S. Hamilton: Cappuccino.
Elaine Douts: Depends on the time of day. Coffee in the morning, dark roast. On cold winter afternoons, hot tea or cocoa. Leisure hour, a dry champagne or dry white wine.
Susan Van Kirk: Herbal tea or wild cherry Pepsi.
Annette Dashofy: Hot coffee with sweet creamer.
James M. Jackson: Diet Dr Pepper—I first came upon Dr Pepper when we moved to Virginia in 1957 for my father to earn his PhD. For years it wasn’t available up north. I suspect it's as much a psychological choice as taste.
Regardless of what it actually tastes like, Molly wins on name alone.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Jim said! Molly, we need the recipe! Perhaps in a future blog post?
ReplyDeleteYes, we need that recipe, Molly.
ReplyDeleteMolly, recipe please! I use French Truck coffee beans I order from New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choices. Molly, if this is something you limit to only once every few years, we need that recipe. Jim, growing up in Pennsylvania, Dr. Pepper was not well known. However, when I did have a chance to try it, I decided that it tasted like the cough syrup my mother gave me when I was sick. Any desire for more Dr. Pepper died there.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to see how my likes have changed since we submitted these responses. I'm now obsessed with getting drinks from The Loaded Teashop. They're so good!
ReplyDeleteNever any type of coffee or coffee flavored anything.I just don’t like the taste, that includes mocha and tiramisu.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time just plain water which is what I drink with meals.
I seldom drink anything hot, but when I do it would be hot chocolate or tea. Ironically, I do like to go out for the traditional English tea, but
it is more for the ambiance and what accompanies the actual drink. Also, tea with Chinese food. In my part of the country, it always came as part of the meal. Now sometimes it does and other times it has to be ordered separately.
Carbonated beverages are mainly to go with certain types of deli sandwiches or pizza then it would be root beer.
On a real hot day perhaps iced tea, lemonade or just cold water. I don’t usually like ice in the glass, you wind up getting more melted ice which dilutes the actual flavored liquid.
