The Beverage Minute

Journey through the Vending Machines of Japan

This week we're joined by Saska who shares about her vacation to Japan where she explored by jumping from vending machine. If you've got your own beverage-cation related stories I'd love to hear them, message the Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/beverageminute/] page or @beverageminute [https://twitter.com/beverageminute] (and let me know if I can share it on the show).

Milkshakes Bring TBM to the Car

On the very first TBM on location I meet up with Phyllis Fletcher at Seattle area drive-up Burgermaster. Phyllis introduces me to one of her favorite milkshakes, we discover the perfect place for a meetup during a pandemic, and I get a chance to work through my drive-up anxiety.

Doggone Dalgona (AKA: TikTok Coffee)

In a Beverage Minute first, we (Christy) try our (her) hand at making Dalgona coffee, a foamy whipped treat that has recently been made popular on Korean YouTube but has recently taken the US internet by storm. With only three ingredients you probably have the items to make this in your house right now! Just brace yourself if you don't have a mixer, the recipe Christy uses says to whisk "till your arm falls off". You can find the recipe Christy used here [https://youtu.be/hixQ_-VtElM] and if you make it yourself be sure to share a picture in our Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/beverageminute/] or Twitter [https://twitter.com/beverageminute]. I'll mail a can of Loganberry [https://www.thebeverageminute.com/turn-on-tune-in-try-loganberry/] and a can of Cactus Cooler [https://www.thebeverageminute.com/childhood-favorite-cactus-cooler/] to the first person that shares a picture!

Turn on, Tune in, Try Loganberry

We're joined by Bet and Bobby to talk about a beverage from Buffalo and boy were they brilliant! We try "Aunt Rosie's Loganberry [https://buffaloinabox.com/products/loganberry-12-pack]" one of the handfuls of brands that make this unique and tangy regional favorite. Come aboard the beverage train and let's try some loganberry! You can find Bet on her Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/cupcakemama42] (don't be creepy) and listen to Bobby over on our cousin-cast This Show Has Everything [https://thisshowhaseverything.com/].

Hemp Energy Drinks (No, not that kind)

When I came across a metaphorical treasure trove of unique beverages at a local convenience store I had no idea I'd be finding literal Gold, Kona Gold [https://konagoldhemp.com/] that is. I'm always game for a new brand of energy drink, but this was more than "just an energy drink" it was an energy drink with hemp.
