Trying to surprise the girlfriend; spiked coffee flights in the Bangor area?

Submitted by PGids t3_1263w1j in Maine

She’s been on screech about finding a place that does spiked coffee flights lately and I figure I could surprise her Saturday

Unfortunately, the only place I know that does this is Erica’s in Waterville; which is doable but I’m up there with her for the weekend so something closer would be cool rather than me driving 80% of the way home to drive back to Bangor. Unfortunately I’m drawing blanks via Google so far

Thanks in advance!

Welp.

Guess I'm finally old enough to be entirely inconsequential and culturally irrelevant. Had to happen eventually.

WFT is a spiked coffee flight?

Does it involve Tik Tok?

PS: Get off my lawn you whippersnapper!

Hey if it’s any consolation I didn’t know about them till like, three days ago and I’m 26 lol

It’s a flight like ciders or margaritas: you get a variety of a few smaller drinks that are all different flavors. It’s just fancy flavors of iced coffee with booze though at the end of the day. Stuff like S’mores, caramel mocha, white chocolate truffle etc etc

I’m more of a black iced coffee with liquid sugar kinda guy myself but I want to try it before I write it off lol

Thank you for explaining. You're very kind.

I'll bet your grandparents think you're amazing (and with reason).

Rock on bud.

I believe what you’re looking for is 5 shots of Allen’s…

( I’m actually following along because the idea of a coffee flight sounds delicious.)

Surprise her with a bottle of allen’s should be enough for at least 20–30 tasters.

I would but unfortunately someone ain’t a team player and won’t touch a Madawaska martini

I did get her to try a White Russian last weekend though so we’re making progress lol

Just out of curiosity, what are they?

Shit I replied to the other person first, my bad

Fancy iced coffee flavors like s’mores and white chocolate truffle, things like that. But also with alcohol in them.

They come in a flight like ciders or margaritas though so you get a few small ones for some variety

Not typically how I like my booze or coffee but I figure it’s worth a shot lol

I guess the fact that I don't drink is showing. "They come in a flight" - and all I'm picturing is a plane out of the airport, but that doesn't seem right?

Instead of one big glass, you get several smaller ones all with a different flavor. It’s typically more expensive but a flight is usually 1.5-2 regular drinks worth of drink spread across 3-5 smaller drinks

A variety pack, if you will lol

Go to Starbucks, grab a fancy coffee. Go to liquor store and grab some nips. Sit someplace cool and enjoy. 😬
