Favourite Beverages

What is your favorite drink?

I have a great love of “a bevy” as my sister would say and as a self acclaimed “drinks master” here are my favourite drinks by category

  • Tea – Khoisan Bourbon Vanilla Rooibos Tea – I came into the tea game late but this is the best tea ever and it get extra points because it’s decaf, comes from my Southern Africa aka home and it has many good properties
  • Coffee – Starbucks Blond Roast – I’ve been having a caffeine intolerance lately because I pretty much stopped drinking coffee during the pandemic (yes remember that awful event) but I love the VIA blond roast. It’s high in caffeine and the right coffee taste for me
  • Wine – I think my favourite is ice wine. None in particular but I just love sweet wine and I think it’s the pinnacle of sweet wine. I’ll give a s/o to the baco noir by Henry of Pelham incase people argue ice wine isn’t “really” wine
  • Milk – Why is this on the list? Well we the lactose intolerance girlies will tell you that we like milk but our stomachs are stubborn. My favourite milk is Neilson’s 0% lactose free milk. I like it because it doesn’t change the taste of the drink like some of the other milk alternative beverages
  • Pop – This preference depends on location. In Canada it’s Canada Dry! I love it and put it in any and everything. I personally feel it should replace maple syrup as the “Canadian food”. If in Zimbabwe it’s cherry plum.
  • Liquor – I think it’s tequila, Patron to be specific. I have been playing around with gin but I don’t think it’s made its way into being a “favourite” but time will tell
  • Water – I’m not much of a water drinker. Yes I know I should drink 7/8 glasses but who has the time to go to the bathroom that many times after? However I figured with the allegations that you need water to live 😅 I should pick one. I used to be confused about why drink water when you can drink juice or tea and if you have to drink water why addd bubbles but I will admit I have grown to like the sparkling water from Loblaws. Granted I sometimes add stuff to it but it’s not bad.
  • Squash/Cordial – Mazoe cream soda is my favourite if it’s available but if not I don’t hate Robinsons berry squash. Both are not easy to source in Canada but we find our ways. It’s one of the things I add to sparkling water but to get some unique drink recipes sign up to my newsletter. 😊
