Perfect For Shakes and Frappes!
I ordered this set of glass tumblers to supplement a similar set I already own. This now puts me at four tumblers in total. You see, for the last several years, I had been trying to perfect my copycat McDonald’s Mocha Frappe recipe. I wanted to be able to make this delicious drink at home rather than having to go to the drive thru every time the craving kicked in. Several months ago, I finally dialed in my recipe, and make and serve them to friends and family regularly. For Christmas, we even spiked them with rum! Delicious!This pair of glass tumblers turned out to be the perfect choice. Their 16 oz size was nearly identical to a McDonald’s large sized Frappe, so it really couldn’t have worked out any better. I use the tumblers as follows: after making the Frappe base, I pour my shaved ice (shaved ice is the secret to the perfect ice consistency, by the way) into each tumbler, then add my frappe base. After giving everything a stir to blend the ice, I finish by topping each frappe with a generous amount of whipped cream and chocolate syrup.The tumblers worked out marvelously, and my finished Frappes looked just like the official McDonald’s version. I must say, I really like the double wall designs of these glass tumblers, as the airspace acts as an insulator between the beverage and your hand. This helps prevent cold (or hot) hands, and in my case, keeps the ice from melting from your body heat. Plus, they aren’t heavy like traditional glass!The tumblers I received were free of any defects, and the clear glass just looks fantastic. They are very well made, and the glass design will certainly add an air of elegance to any beverage. At least, it certainly did with my Frappes. Cleaning the tumblers couldn’t be any quicker as they rinse out with ease. As such, they are very easy to wash and dry.Overall, I could not be more pleased with this set of tumblers. The quality is excellent, and the possibilities are endless! The frappes were a big hit this Christmas, and these tumblers really helped with the presentation. I plan on using them for homemade shakes as well. To sum it all up, I am so glad I ordered this set of tumblers, and I would highly recommend them!
