Selkies- Celtic Folklore of Love and Loss

Welcome back for the fifth episode of the Cryptid Coffee Club!!

I'm so glad that we are here and staying consistent. If you are new to the club, episodes will be released every-other Thursday-- even if they don't go live until super late lol!

We're a podcast that info-dumps on your favorite cryptids while succumbing to our caffeine addictions. Every episode we will have a toast to our hidden friends with a custom coffee beverage. Today, we are highlighting the Selkie!

The beverage today's episode is the Selkie Serenade.
 With flavors including: chocolate, mint, and strawberry, what could be a better drink to have during this season of love! This is a hot coffee, with chocolate, creme de minthe, and strawberry syrups mixed with heavy cream. This is all topped off with a bit of whipped cream, cut up mint chocolate candy, and a strawberry!
