| Starbucks, arguably the most known coffee shop in all the world, is branching out with it's first Alcoholic drink, but not to coffee houses. The drinks are planned for restaurants, bars and liquor stores. A 750 milliliter bottle will sell for $23. Due to the cost, they expect the new drink to have a neutral to positive effect on Future Brands revenues in 2005. |

| I am sure it was positive but anyone know what the overall feeling was at Starbucks regarding their placement in Target stores? Any news on any future openings in other off site locations? |

I just heard about this today. Do you think it will take off? Or will it flop? If so I can't see how it will hurt them because it won't be offered in their stores....and who would miss it from restaurants and bars?  |

| I think it will take off as a new and popular drink in bars and restaurants. However, price of it by bottle at liquor stores may be a bit steep. |

| I wonder what this will be like? Will it be a little like tia maria/ We have something in the UK called Baileys Irish cream which is creamy coffee flavoured with whiskey. That is very popular even though it's relatively expensive. |
