As much as this blog is probably going to be me rambling on about where I found a drink and what I thought of it and blah blah blah, there has to be some level of consistency and something that allows for comparison. So I'm going to implement a set of criteria. Each drink will receive a rating from 1-5 on each of the following:
Taste: Of course, this is probably the most important. We don't buy hot chocolate so that we can place it on a shelf of our house and look at it. We buy it so we can drink it and it can taste good.
Value: What good is a cup of chocolate that you can't afford? Conversely, a low price can make a drink taste that much sweeter!
Presentation: Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, a cherry... all those little things can go a long way.
Drinks bought "to go" will have an additional criteria:
Convenience: A lid, a flap to reseal it, a sleeve to keep you from burning your hands... if you can't carry it around, what's the point?
I considered adding an average score to the end, but decided against it - for one, it can end up with fractions as small as 1/8 (since I often give ratings like 3.5), and it also can be misleading, as not all criteria deserve the same weight (personally I consider taste much more important than presentation!).
