If you follow Alex Drummond on Instagram, you may have seen her discuss her at-home coffee journey recently. She started back in April after realizing she was “spending way too much money getting an iced latte out almost every morning.” Relatable!
Since then, she has really perfected her craft, even finding the right plastic sipper cups so she can have the “full coffee shop effect.” But really, it comes down to the right beans, the right ratio of coffee to milk, and a good sweetener. “Honestly, making it at home is sooo superior because you can get the perfect color and sweetness level every time,” she shared.
Alex also shared the secret to getting the right amount of sweetness: a quality vanilla syrup. The vanilla syrup she likes is from Pink House Alchemy. The syrup is made from real vanilla beans, which gives it a depth of flavor you won’t get from other syrups. And guess what? “It’s the same syrup The Mercantile uses for their lattes!”
Aha! So that’s where she got the idea. The Merc is well known in the area for not just comfort food but also bakery treats and a really delicious selection of coffees. Ree is also a fan of the syrup brand. Their chili syrup is the secret to her favorite spicy cowgirl coffee, and when fall rolls around, she likes the pumpkin syrup for seasonal lattes.
If you’re not a huge vanilla fan or want to change things up from time to time, you’ll be happy to hear that the brand offers more than two dozen flavors on its site. And you don’t have to stop at coffee! Flavored syrups can be used in cocktails and mocktails or drizzled over your favorite French toast, pancakes, or waffles.
Now that the Drummond family secret is out, you don’t have to wait until your next trip to Pawhuska to get a taste of The Merc. Find their favorites right here and upgrade your at-home experience just like they do.
