No more egg nog lattes?

Written by Sarah Blake LaRose on . Leave a comment

Kevin loves egg nog lattes; but we only made it to Starbucks twice during the holiday drink season. Since we have coffee together in the kitchen every morning, I thought I would pick up some egg nog flavored creamer at the store; but we missed the shopping window there as well.

As the holiday season drew to a close, Kevin began to give up on the idea of having any more egg nog lattes. I am not so easily dissuaded. Surely there had to be a solution for people who don’t take their Christmas trees down on December 26.

There was. We have been putting flavored syrups from Amoretti in our coffee for several months, beginning when I went on a frantic search for a way to give him pumpkin spice lattes at home. Amoretti didn’t let me down in the egg nog department either. Furthermore, the taste suited him just fine.

A couple of reviewers at Amazon seem dissatisfied with Amoretti’s lack of sweetness over Torani. I can’t comment on this; and perhaps this is a good thing. In general, both Kevin and I eat low sugar diets and are accustomed to less sweetness. The level of sweetness in the Amoretti syrups is just right for our taste at this point.

Amoretti seems to be bringing out new flavors often. I never know what I will find next. If, like Kevin, you’re not quite ready to stop drinking holiday drinks, they have gingerbread and other holiday flavors. If, like me, you tend to stick with classic everyday flavors, there are plenty more. Visit the Amoretti search results page for more choices.
