Not to be confused with an earlier topic which , was ambiguous, apparently.
Specifically I do like a latte in the morning with a double espresso shot .
This is made from home. I wouldn't be paying for that in Starbucks.
If I am paying for one it is usually a cappuccino .
I don't need to ask for a mocker , I already have Phil

Freshly squeezed orange juice is nice, Orange Tango, ginger beer, and have you ever had bitter lemon with a curry? Also lemonade with lime cordial is good.

I used to buy sparkling water and add cordial , usually blackcurrant or orange.
I started doing it because my kids wanted a Sodastream
and I thought they were a waste of money

It was probably the fun of a machine that did it that made them want it so it's likely you missed the point.

I lost out in the end as they ended up getting a slush puppy machine instead

Thanks for the recommendation. Cordial sounds up my street but I detest sparkling water!

Well anyone who isn't a lunatic detests sparkling water, but fizzy drinks generally are OK, so would fizzy cordial taste horrible on the basis that the fizz started life in the water?
I've always wondered why fizzy water tastes so horrible and whether there is something different about the way they make fizzy water that causes it. This would be a way to test that.

I'm interested in the results , should someone conduct an experiment.
Generally I hate fizzy drinks unless they are around 4 degrees C.
But then I probably would glug pretty much most drinks if they are than around that temperature

Drinks at 3 or 5 degrees are just disgusting.

Maybe, but while we're here, apparently gallium has a low melting point and you can make gallium alloys that are liquid at room temperature and non-toxic. But they might just be non-toxic in the sense that it doesn't give of poisonous fumes. You might not be able to actually drink it.
