Kinda. It involves rum, soda water, lime and fresh mint.

Sounds delicious...also wouldn't mind trying a mint julip (julep?) some time...

hard cider is a good drink to have with friends, I just started drinking it not that long ago.

I love cider. Though not the hard stuff.

It's just about the only alcoholic drink I can down by the pint.

In america cider is like apple juice and "hard cider" is like at about the same alcohol leval as beer

 

[JoabAnias]

You still get to keep the mug, though, and it's E. 8 per litre, not per half pint.

One might wonder why someone who doesn't even like beer knows these things.

I like a draft pills on a hot day. Or in a big tent full of partiers I have been known to buy a big liter mug just for the mug

It was only $0.35 to me at the time.

Kind of hard to resist.

Oh, in that case I mean hard cider.

I learned to drink it in Ireland. There's no better place!

 

[Rhamiel]

yeah, America is the only country that thinks apple juice is cider lol

Cider? I think this is the Great British "Hair of the Dog" drink:

Norwegian cider comes from Hardanger, the great apple-growing district. Also famous for it's spectacular scenery:

Hey, looks like the Wall Street operators are finding a new vocation .

I haven't had cider since I was 17. I didn't like it then - but it was the cheap stuff. I think I'd like good cider but I never see it over here.

Hey, they have buildings going back as far as the 8th century. I'm thinking they'll probably be there for a while.

My parents love walks and really want to go on a holiday together, and they're thinking of doing the Wicklow Way. I'm trying to coax them into it, because it sounds awesome.

Sounds great!

I'm all alone here - well, if you don't count the two kitties. Husband's at his mother's in the hospice and will stay there tonight. (I have to be here for the kitties.) I'm going to do something I never do: I'm going to have a drink all by myself. Fino sherry. And some olives because they go so well with sherry.

If anyone wants to join me, be my guest. (We need drinking smilies.) (I don't know if we have any - I only use the ones visible when you type, because the last 2 times when I clicked "more", I lost my entire post. )

Fino sounds good, I'll have one. It's better than drinking alone.
