October 7th…National Frappe Day…I’m not much into sweet drinks but I looked up a couple of recipes on line and some of them don’t sound too bad.  One was made with liquor which is interesting.  But most of them are made with instant coffee and vary with ice cream or whipped cream, some with crushed ice and still others with cubed ice.  Chocolate seems to be the main ingredient besides coffee and there are all sorts of different glasses that people pour the mix into.  I guess it takes one to know one, but they call themselves “Frappers”.  There is even a Frapper Society and a website dedicated to Frappe stuff including t-shirts.

I think I will pass on this one, but if you are a frapper, go for it!  Enjoy your frappe and if you put liquor into yours, remember not to drink and drive!

Enjoy!
