Never liked the vodka myself to be honest...it always seemed like burning water...which I guess it kind of it is.

Barry's tea, strong, one sugar, tiny drop of full fat milk.

Anyone ever tried Rebel Red from Franciscan Well in Cork? Beautiful stuff, but bottles are expensive enough in Dunnes. I'm more for the cheap and cheerful these days.

NordieSteve

Southie and red.

Believe me, I'd prefer to have a frothy ale in my glass right now.

I love it. Such a disappointment when you go somewhere new and they don't have a tap, or worse they have one and it's empty. Disaster.

I have two bottles of the Braithwaites Old Badgers Fanny chilling in the fridge. It's a mild Craft beer with plummy overtones, a pale froth and a smooth, moist afterbite - €19.79 a bottle from our local Organic farm shop with wooden shelves and a real bargain I must say.













Reality - a bottle of Tesco plonk that was reduced - the "You save €...." bit was more than the actual price..wtf is "craft beer"?? Fcuk off, in fairness.

Ya. €4.50 a pint in my local. All the diehard Smithwicks and Heineken drinkers whingeing 'cos it's too dear. Smithwicks 4.20 Heineken 4.40. Coloured water.

At the moment I'm on Leffe Blonde. 5.50 for four in Lidl.

€5.50 for 4 sounds good, what's it like?

So what's your fave in that department then? (brandy)

I like brandy. Yummy no ice or mixer either.

It likes cold places, dark bottles, kegs and mahogany bartops and giving you a banging headache the day after one too many. It dislikes being urinated into a hedge the same as every other beer on the market, followed by getting puked down the jax - a very fussy brew.

I don't even know what that is, but after a quick google search I'm guessing some kind of awful liquor enjoy :pac:

That's pure 'Murica. Must try that sometime too.

'Fraid not, was in a cafe/bar/restaurant. It was called an Elvis milkshake, strangely the menu said vanilla ice-cream but when we asked they'd made it with banana. Couple of the girls asked to change but I preferred the banana. A quick google returns the vanilla version so perhaps you could start there and experiment!

Martell. Can't stand anything with it, it kills it. My old local got bottles in just for me can't stand even a drop of water in the glass. And ya gotta warm it - takes me as long (sometimes longer :eek:) to drink my brandy as my friends drinking a pint! And it's cheap enough, betweeen €4 and €4.50 out (in dublin).

Eughhhh! I don't like kopparberg either though. Is it not the same strength as normal vodka?

I'm bad enough with a mixer never mind drinkin straight!

Yes but because of the apple taste it makes it a lot easier to drink than regular Smirnoff. It tastes more like an alcopop.
