Let's get down and dirty people! It's nearly midnight and you literally have to finish the last 30 pages of the latest book in the Throne of Glass series. You need a pick me up, but its too late to drive somewhere and you NEED it now. You could just grab a can of pop (I'm saying pop here because I come from Washington State originally, and the word 'soda' still sounds weird to me). Except a can of soda (yep, still is weird) is just, well, kind of boring.
The big new thing - that actually is an old thing that is just coming back - are these soda shops popping up all around now. Near us we have places like Swig, Sodalicious, The Slurp, and Fiiz. A few fast food chains have caught on and you can ask for your drink to be "dirty" or "jacked up". Now it might sound a little "risque," but it's actually just sweet. You can be DIRTY too by adding your own syrup flavoring, fruit purees, and more to make your soda a step above the rest. Plain Sprite, Coke, or Mountain Dew is just a thing of the past. Why not get a Dirty Diet Coke, a Mango Mountain. or Raspberry Dream?
Or better yet, make your own.

You HAVE to try pebble ice from Sonic! (Source) |
I bought pebble ice from our local Sonic, whisk is the best ice in the whole world, hands down. They sell bags for $2.50 each. You can buy cups, lids, and straws from them too, but they cost $.20 per cup. I ended up getting clear cups/lids and cute straws from Gygi's. Costco sells them too, but unless you are doing this for over a hundred people and don't live near a store like Gygi's, I would just check out a local fast food chain or party supply store. I once even ran into my gas station and asked if they would sell me some and they gave me 50 for free because I was doing it for a school function.
Enjoy making any number of combinations. The main idea is to add an extra little ZIP to your sip! Let me know your favorite concoctions.
XoXo,
What size cup do you use?
