Seven of the Most Popular Irish Drinks
7. Club Rock Shandy
An even mixture of Club Orange and Club Lemon in a pint glass with chunks of ice. Club Rock Shandy has quietened many the young fella in the pub, it's pure exoticism swotting out any thoughts of wanting to go home and leaving many the auld fella thanking God for Club!
6. Linden Village Cider
The ubiquitous complement to any rebellious Irish youth, Linden Village. There is a lot of mischievous contained in the hefty two litre flagons.
5. Lilt
Lilt is amazing - containing Irish summer in a can! And it must be drank out of a can! Nothing else will do! To be drank with a Blue Bounty Bar! Not red! Blue! Result? Swinging in a hammock in the Caribbean!
4. Poitin
BEWARE! Poitin is not to be gulped! If you are to drink it at all, you must sip! Poitin, illegal for centuries is the strongest alcoholic drink known to man, it would strip paint from walls as the saying goes. Ensure that it is safe, a bead batch will kill you! (I am not kidding!) Pour a tad into a saucer and light it, if the flame turns blue you'll most likely be grand if it turns any other colour, decline….Probably the best bet is to only use it for it's more medicinal purpose of rubbing into joints to help with rheumatism.
3. Lucozade
But not your everyday Lucozade, rather the one in the glass bottle, covered by the oddly coloured cellophane wrap, brought To you by hordes of well-wishers whilst in hospital getting the appendix or tonsils ripped out of ya!
2. Guinness
‘A pint of plain is your only man,' said Flann O'Brien and how right he was. Guinness is meat and drink and as common as air, stout is a national obsession.
1. Tea
Pipping them all to the top spot is tea, pure and simple, nothing compares to a ‘sup of tay'. Every occasion calls for it and whether you are a Lyons man or a Barry's man is a ferocious debate that rages eternal.
