Spicing up the holidays with Torani Flavored Syrups & Giveaway

Flavored coffee.  You either love it or you hate it.  Frankly, I like my coffee sweetened, creamed, and about half of the time - flavored.  It is a treat when I purchase coffee at one of the many first class coffee shops to get flavored.  And my favorites of these are hazelnut and mocha.  Now really good coffee with a pump or two of rich hazelnut syrup is super good!   Now all this leads me to say.... .....

Regular and Sugar Free flavored syrups
that add flavor and enhance beverages.
I am a SheSpeaks Blogger Society member and they asked if I would accept, try, and review some of the Torani flavored syrups.  Now what's a Southern lady that loves good coffee going to say to that, I ask you?  Of course, I said I would (I would love, love, love to do so!).  So my box arrived just the other day.

Torani Hazelnut syrup
works well in lattes,
mochas, & iced coffees.
Provided are two large bottles of Torani Syrup - Hazelnut and Pumpkin Pie.  There are also five (I said "5"!!!!) coupons for a FREE  BOTTLE.  Now not being a glutton and needing to practice the virtue of sharing, I will be offering a "GIVEAWAY" later on.  So keep your eyes peeled for that, folks!
About Torani:  Since 1925, family-owned Torani has been crafting great tasting flavored syrups that coffeehouses use to make their flavored drinks taste so delicious. With over 120 flavors in regular and sugar free varieties, Torani flavored syrups are perfect for flavored lattes, mochas, coffees, cocoas, Italian sodas, teas, lemonades, cocktails and smoothies.
I noticed on the bottle that this syrup is made here in the USA.  Also, the ingredient label is easy to read  because I can understand the names of the ingredients - you know nut flavors, cane sugar, purified water, etc.

I'm already into the bottle of hazelnut for a couple of days.  It is good!  I brewed it with some New England brand coffee using their breakfast blend.  I found I didn't need to add sugar or other sweetener.  I also creamed my coffee with one of the liquid creamers (real stuff, not artificial). Good.

Torani Sugar Free
Pumpkin Pie syrup
is great in lattes,
steamers, & blended coffees.
Tonight I broke out the Pumpkin Pie Syrup made with Splenda and "0" calories.  I brewed a single cup of New England Colombian decaf.  Again, no additional sweetener was needed.  I creamed the coffee with a good natural dairy creamer.  I found the spicy flavor delightful and not at all over powering.  Next time I may add a bit more to see if it is bolder.  But as I am drinking it right now, it is delightful.

I've seen where folks are using these syrups to flavor foods other than beverages.  For example, adding the pumpkin spice syrup to cream cheese icing on spice cupcakes. Sounds yummy.  But I see these syrups as add-ins for a full array of beverages.  You can create hot or cold coffee beverages.  You can mix fruit drinks or anything you can imagine.  Torani has a vast array of flavors.  Click to shop at Torani.com    (Tip:  Buy any Torani flavor online at Torani.com at a 10% discount by using Special Offer Code - shespeaks)
