Advantages: sweet, tastes of real vanilla, appetite suppressant???

Disadvantages: moreish, risk of caffeine overdose(!!), risk of vodka overdose...!

After reading someone else's review of vanilla coke yesterday, I decided to try their tip of combining it with vodka. I had already tried vanilla coke on its own and love it - if you love the taste of vanilla you can't help but love it really, it's smooth, creamy and very, very more-ish. But believe me, it's even better combined with the strong stuff!!

Both the diet and 'full fat' versions of vanilla coke are scrummy. I tend to drink more of the diet stuff as I am struggling to shed some pounds, but I don't think there's much difference between the two anyway really. I have no idea whether actual vanilla is used in the recipe, as the additional ingredients are lumped under the heading 'flavourings' which isn't very informative, let's face it. It certainly tastes authentic though, and that's good enough for me.

I was told by someone at work that the diet version is a good appetite suppressant, but I have to say I haven't found that to be the case, or maybe I've just got too hearty an appetite for a mere flavoured drink to have an effect!

Uses for vanilla coke :

- Down it on its own
- Combine with vodka, rum or bacardi
- Add some icecream and voila - a cheap dessert!
- Use it in baking - there are recipes that use normal coke in cakes and buns - substitute the vanilla version.
- Make vanilla coke ice lollies/sluch puppies

So there you have it - if you haven't tried this stuff, I heartily recommend it.

A word of warning though - don't make the mistake of assumming the new lemon coke is in the same league - it is truly disgusting, far too lemony and synthetic. Stick to the vanilla stuff or if that doesn't appeal, the good old fashioned original coke in the trusty red bottle. It'll always be better than pepsi!

Happy guzzling!!
