stag and blackcurrant

I used to drink Stag and blackcurrant, then added peppermint (for a dodgy stomach) and then added lime to make it taste better.

No wonder I had a dodgy stomach!!!! We used to go The Sheds and then on to the Grove. Don't know how I didn't spend my nights in the girls toilets.

Anybody else any strange combination back then (or now)

I'm a bit more boring now with just bacardi and 7up, or dry white wine, or anything from a dirty old boot!!!!

I went on a 5-a-side / drink weekend to the Isle of Man long time ago and one night we were drinking Snakebites (cider& lager) and Pernod & Blackcurrant.

Doesn't sound too bad, but this was all in the same pint glass . Didn't taste too bad either!

Try a shot of Jaegermeister. Taste like a mixture of cough medicine and meths (don't ask).

Was introduced to it by a mad corkman while a group of us were skiing in Austria (fantastic place to go)

Couldn't taste anything for about 2 years tho'

Don't like gin but I'll try that with Bacardi.

Nice for the summer barbies!!!

Will give you a shout when I try it.

Vodka (Huzzar) with Fanta Orange ... yuck !!!

Was a desperate case of there being no coca cola,
pepsi or even Club Orange around. Result = dizzy
head, heebie jeeby stomach for 2-3 days later,
collapsed on the floor before even heading off to
the Grove.

It took me several years to get over my distate for Vodka
after imbibing that horrid mix. It has taken a lifetime
to get over Fanta. Hate the stuff with a passion along
with its evil sister "Lilt"

Cool Neat (non diet) Club Orange = lovely
(my favourite non alcoholic pub drink)

Ice cold Stolichnaya vodka neat = sudden rush of
admiration for the old Soviet state

If the Grove had been based in Mayo God forbid I'd say
some of us would have had war stories about nasty
poteen mixes. I've yet to try any of that evil stuff!!!

We used to drink vodka and Lime back then, and loved it....now even when I smell it , I just wanna

With you on that HD.  As for the rest of you - dipsos!!

Anyone ever tried a drink called Unicum? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicum

Its really lethal stuff - the label has a medicine cross on it!  We have some in our spirits collection - rather himself does, he got it in Hungary years ago - it has to be tasted to be believed!  It used to make an appearance at house parties in the pre childer days..... wicked hang overs for all the next day.

Heard of it Finno but never heard it, if you know what I mean.
