The Turbo Moustache

By Jove, my mastery of most things alcohol has led to another divine creation! The following recipe makes about two large drinks. Behold my glory in liquefied form--the Turbo Moustache:

1) Brew four cups of coffee, double strength (since it will be diluted w/ ice and other garnishments). It helps, of course, if the coffee doesn't suck.*
*I use Grounds for Change. I was given a subscription last year as a gift, and it's downright delicious.

2) Turn the maker off as soon as the brew cycle is over. While the joe is still warm, add:

- 1 tsp sugar (or Splenda); or more/less to taste (keep in mind the Kahlua will be sweet too)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp hot chocolate mix
- 1/3 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3) Close the lid and swirl together until dissolved, and toss the pot in the fridge. Once it's cooled down (the colder the better), bring it back out (swirl again before making the drink).

4) Fill a tall glass with ice, 1/3 Kahlua, almost the rest of the way with the coffee, and top with cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Feeling crazy? Yeah you are, you crazy fuck. In that case, add a nip of scotch when you add the Kahlua... Just don't blame me when this nice weeknight study pick-me-up turns into a shameful boozefest.

Of course you can also make this during the day w/o the alcohol as a refreshing summer alternative to a hot ass cup of coffee. Stepping out into the stiflingly humid 80-degree morning with a scalding hot beverage just isn't as enjoyable as it sounds.

Mmmm . . . alcohol caffeinated goodness.

Heh - my blog is for those of us who hate law school (male or female) in addition to us poor schmucks who happen to be parents while in law school. And some guys actually DO read it. You're not the first. Feel free to come back.

Quick tip from the resident homosexual: make ice cubes using leftover coffee. Double-brewing is for losers (and breeders).

I miss the grapist.

That sure beats my morning caffeine pills with tequila chaser...

Just so I'm clear--making strong coffee is for losers, but making coffee ice cubes is cool... anything else I should know

You shouldn't put hot things in the fridge - you'll warm up the rest of the items in the fridge if you do that. Instead, fill a shallow bowl with cold water and put your coffee container in that.

Also, how come you missed the alcohol out of the midday one? Ain't nothing finer than booze at noon on a hot day, my friend.
