we open our house to you!

It's here! Christmas time is here! 

We've hung all our Christmas ornaments and stockings up, we've lit up our display window with another John Feather original display- and it is fabulous, we've also created a holiday menu with wonderful drinks like the Turtledove Chai, a Peppermint Moka, or even a simple hot chocolate. This is the time of year when we get to share more of what we do best- COFFEE! Everybody wants something warm during the cold months, and we have the best coffees, teas, and cocoa!

This Saturday we are having our annual Christmas Open House

from 9am-6pm.

Its going to be an event to attend!

 

There will be festivities all day long and some really good discounts on coffee side.

We will be sampling one of our holiday favorites, Aspen Mulling Spices and cider, along with Moonshine or Bourbon balls, and cookies made by Mary Parlanti. Is that a triple yum, or what?

EVERYONE who purchase something on coffee side can receive a chance to get either 10,20, or 50% off their purchase!! And that is a deal!!

There will be live music from Chris Grills and John Forgy from 2-4pm.

Merry Christmas flavors

We have our Christmas flavors out!

What you have been waiting for!!

 

We have a lot of new flavors this year, some are oldies (but goodies!) and others are new and interesting!

Who doesn't want a little coffee in their stocking for Christmas? It's a great stocking stuffer and we have a little something for everyone. Spread some holiday cheer with our new flavors, or our old :).

 

Our HOLIDAY COFFEES are:

 

Gingerbread Man:Run, run as fast as you can ... because we caught the flavor of the Gingerbread Man! It's true. The flavor of a gingerbread cookie but with a hint of cream, this is a true holiday treat!!  



                                        Mexi-Cafe: chocolate and cinnamon lovers this is for you! It is the perfect balance, and if you've ever had our Mexi-Cappuccino (or cocoa) you'll love this deliciousness in your cup!  

Cranberries and Cream: a great cranberry flavor. Smooth and fruity, but everything cranberry you crave!     

Snow Cream: A fresh vanilla but a creamy, sugary sweet. Unique blend and a true vanilla taste.

Spiked Egg Nog: Who doesn't love a little holiday cheer (oh, and for extra cheer add a little something special ;))? This couldn't be any closer to a cup of egg nog with a splash of bourbon, top it with whipped cream. Yum!

Reindeer Rum: a spiced vanilla rum, perfect for the holidays ... and maybe rum? :)

 

 Stop by and try our new holiday coffee's, take some home with you, get it as a Christmas gift!!

 

Come stop by as we are winding into Christmas! Catch our coffee calendar, our newest iPhone app, or on Facebook for updates on coffees of the day to keep you posted on what we will be serving this holiday season.

You can try it before you buy it!  

 

 

 

  

                          



Who doesn't love cider?

(it is definitely my favorite Fall drink!)

 

It's something about the Fall crisp air, harvesting apples, Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays, and the leaves falling from the trees that makes me crave all things Autumn.   (Cider is one of those things I crave!)  

For us here at Coffee Times, this is the time where we really get geared into our busy season, the weather is finally cool enough  customers want something like a Caramel Apple Cider, Cider Chai, a warm Cider :). We serve Evan's Orchard cider in our Fall drink concoctions; local, fresh pressed Kentucky Apple cider. YUM!!

Cider sacks are handy to have and make great Fall gifts. Inside are all the ingredients to spice up your apple cider, including allspice, cloves, black peppercorn, cinnamon sticks, and orange rinds.

How to make a cider sack:

Wrap up a Cider Sack by placing 8 black peppercorns, 6 whole allspice, 6 whole cloves, 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks, and 3 (3- x 1-inch) orange rind strips on a 5-inch square of cheesecloth. Gather the edges, and tie securely with kitchen string. Give it as a gift!!

Other Cider Recipes:

Mulling Spice (serve 8-10 people)

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• Zest of 1 orange (or orange peel with pith removed)
• 2 (1/2-inch thick) slices peeled fresh ginger
• 1/2 gallon organic apple cider or low-sulfide red wine
• 1 tablespoon of allspice

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat cider or wine over medium-high heat; stir in allspice, cloves, cinnamon, orange zest and ginger.

2. Bring to boiling; reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, six to eight minutes or until desired flavor is achieved.
3. Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve; discard solids. Serve warm

Spiced Cider

Combine 1 gal. apple cider, 2 qt. cranberry juice cocktail, and a Spice Bag in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Discard Cider Sack before serving. Serve hot or cold.
