Specialist drinks

[Chlo]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions, I would like to offer more than your standard tea and coffee. not something that is overly expensive but just a little different like they do in spas etc. any help would be great


Many thanks

We offer herbal and fruit teas as well as normal tea/ coffee.

Thank you do u put them in specialist cups or anything x

Yes, we got very cute cup/jug/tray combo from macro, which looks really expensive. Obviously we don't use the jug with a fruit tea, but serve it with a little wrapped biscuit.

That sounds brill, thank you x

My favourite drink at the moment is Purdeys, its a multivitamin drink. I love it. Have a look in health food shops for some alternatives, but be advised some don't suit all.

Also smoothies or crushed ice with fruit juice and fruit pieces - nice and healthy!

It's available in the US. It's in the dairy section. They have some really FAB flavors, these days. Also, Bailey's has (non-alcohol) flavors as well. HTH.

Get a dolce gusto crups machine, loads of things it can make, and the pods are cheap. Also go to a cash and carry for foods and get the individual packed tea bags, then u can offer fruit teas and just do a cup of hot water and a selection of teas.

As an option try a small fridge on display behind the desk with bottled water, pop like coke and lemonade etc... With a charge of maybe 90p, just cover cost plus £1 per box or something. Xoxo

I have a machine like this, it's a Keurig, they work on pods and come to around 44p each. I have French vanilla Cappuccino, regular coffee snd hazelnut flavor but there's loads of different coffees. i also bought an insert for the machine so i can use regular tea bags (or coffee is you choose) with it since its even cheaper that way and i can give my clients more variety. clients find it fun to choose their coffee/tea and i like it because it's inexpensive and easy to clean up.

We also have a Keurig machine, the variety is almost endless. Not particularly cheap but easy.

If you do a search on the forum there have been a few threads like this and lots of ideas, I can't remember them all but there were lots of suggestions.
