An amazing testimonial for The Original Hot Chocolate?

I just wanted to let you know that I am so excited about this product.  It is unbelievably amazing.  I just received a box of 50 and have just ordered another 150. I have one of each on top of my coffee machine at each stop and they have gained so much interest. I have been selling them for $4.50 in an 8oz coffee cup. The buzz about them is amazing. I had a lady buy one, went shopping and came back to buy 3 more to take home!!!! I gave her 3 empty cups to take home and kept my milk. BONUS!

DaVinci Gourmet Sauces....their carton size has changed to 3 x 2ltr bottles, I know this will work well for some of our smaller customers.  Don't forget DaVinci Gourmet have 32 syrup flavours on offer.  Frappease base is an amazing price, well worth a look - 8 x 1.5kg bags to a carton. 

Did you know frappease base can be used in a Slushie Machine? Nice way to serve Iced Coffee and Iced Chocolate.

DaVinci Gourmet have recently changed some of the smoothie bottle sizes, we should have pumps available for these next week.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Uptown Entertainment offer a huge range of slush syrup and 99% juice flavours.

Most cocktails made from scratch require a number of different ingredients to get the end result whereas with slushie cocktails just add the alcohol, along with flavours like citrus juices.

Slushie cocktails take a fraction of the time to prepare and make around 10 - 12 litres in a single batch depending on whether you go for syrup or 99% juice base to begin with, much easier than traditional cocktails.

Here are some suggested cocktails based on their best selling flavours all listed on our site;

Blue Hawaiin
Blue Lemonade syrup or Blue Raspberry 99% juice base - add White Rum (500ml), Blue Curacao (200ml) , Cointreau (200ml).

Tropical Paradise

Rum, Bourbon or Scotch & Cola
Cola syrup or Cola 99% juice base - add Rum, bourbon or scotch (700ml)
