Question

A person recited the blessing 'Shehakol' over eating chocolate and intended to include the cup of coffee with this blessing. Then he forgot to drink and was about to go outside, but before leaving, he remembered he had coffee. Does he need to recite the blessing over it again?

Answer

No. Since this is not considered a complete distraction, and to require a new blessing, a complete distraction is necessary, where one explicitly decides not to eat anymore.
