My International Delights National Coffee Day Celebration

Every year, on September 29th, many countries happily celebrate National Coffee Day.  This is a holiday that I stand behind 100%!  Any celebration that encourages us to drink more of my favorite caffeinated beverage gets a thumbs up from me!  In honor of this wonderful holiday, Mom Central and International Delights put together a wonderful program to have bloggers share coffee goodness with our friends and family by hosting a party!  International Delights makes an amazing iced coffee from 100% Arabica coffee that is so easy to serve and tastes great.

For my International Delights coffee party, I decided to try out one of the recipes that they sent for the Mocha Chip Muffins and made a double batch so I had plenty to go around.  They were incredibly easy to make and boy did the house smell so GOOD when they came out of the oven!  Don’t they look tasty:

I was sent some party favors, recipe cards and coupons to share with my guests.  I decided to do a ‘morning iced coffee’ theme since I had made the muffins and included a variety of fruit, yogurt, and wraps to go with them.  Whether you like your iced coffee in the morning or on a hot summer afternoon, I think you will like the International Delights Iced Coffee.  Did you know that 62% of iced coffee drinkers drink it during winter months?  Yep, this is not just a summer treat!  You can find this iced coffee in several flavors including Vanilla, Mocha, Caramel Machiato and Original.

International Delights National Coffee Day Celebration

I decided to invite a few of my mom friends for a coffee get together.  There are quite a few of us that work from home or have odd hours that lets us gather on a weekday morning without our kids.  Instead of a ‘girls night out’ we like to occasionally enjoy a ‘mom’s morning in’!  Who has the energy to go out at night, right?  Well, I think my friends were very happy to come over and help me out with this project!  Food and iced coffee are always a great way to entice friends to help out!

So, did we all enjoy our National Coffee Day celebration?  I think so!  The international Delights iced coffee is sweet and creamy with a light coffee flavor.  As someone who prefers really bold coffee I think the coffee flavor could be a little stronger.  However most people probably prefer a lighter taste, especially in an iced coffee.  While I have tried all the flavors of International Delights Coffee before this party, the Mocha was the perfect balance between coffee and chocolate.  I think my party was a hit!  And my kids were THRILLED that I had leftover muffins!  They ate those for breakfast for several days!

National Coffee Day is a great opportunity to sit with friends for relaxation and fun conversation. With International Delights Iced Coffee it was easy for my friends and I to have a relaxing morning together to just gossip and shoot the breeze!  No worrying about whether you will find a spot at the crowded coffee house, just pull up another chair in the kitchen!
