Santa’s Milk

Get yourself a nice, warm cup of milk with a bit of white chocolate syrup, toasted marshmallow syrup, and whipped cream. All these extra flavors will ensure you pay upwards of $5 for a glorified cup of milk.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Order a hot chocolate with cherry syrup and whipped cream. If the drink has a texture similar to expired milk, ignore it. That’s just part of the charm.

Frostbite Macchiato

Ice water poured over a single espresso bean someone found on the floor. Garnished with a miniature icicle that may or may not be from the barista’s car bumper.

Peppermint Bark Disaster

A blended mixture of peppermint oil, crushed candy canes, and whatever loose change was in the barista’s apron pocket. Comes with a warning label.

The Library Bathroom Breakdown Steamer

Warm milk blended with the faint echo of someone loudly zipping a backpack at 2 a.m. Served with a complimentary tissue.
