Just a wee point of order here, unless itâs crushed Cocktails shouldnât have ice as a rule. Otherwise carry on as you are

The recipe actually specified cubed ice. I was only following orders.
Didnât they have any Balbec brew?
I was putting cubed (roughly) ice in my White Russians
Follow my orders from now on and youâll be set

Those Pinta lads make great beers worth a try if you see them. Had a couple with @ciarancareyshurlingarmy in Krakow in January.

Its a lazy drink so possibly let you away with it this time. If you donât have a shaker just pour with the ice from one glass to the other about 5 or 6 times then strain it for a much more rewarding White Russian experience

A group of us went to a funeral of another friend of ours one night, usual funeral story, women buzzing around the place making themselves busy. We were asked did we want a drink, 3 of us said a bottle of beer, the 4th lad asked her for a white Russian. Fair play to her, she went off and eventually came back it.

Ya heâs a great choice to be fair, although I find while itâs a great selection the first time you go in, he isnât getting a lot new. But itâs the best by far for choice. Youâll pay for it though, bought 4 crafties tonight and you wouldnât be far off a round of 4 in a pub. One of the craft brewers needs to cotton on and sell a six pack for a tenner or something. Theyâd clane up

They did but Iâm on a Pilsner buzz at the minute. I reckon the Czechs have it right
Women are great for stuff like funerals. They think of things normal people mightnât even consider
Youâll never go to far wrong. They havenât all sold out to the big players either.
It was some bollox acting to ask for it, but by fuck off she went and produced it
Are mixed drinks served with ice not technically cocktails? Iâve been working diligently on perfecting my Singapore Sling recipe, you can almost feel the Raffles vibe from this latest one.

They are a superior species really. The missus is unreal for remembering birthdays etc. She posted a mate of mine a present for a new baby there yesterday. Iâd say if we were in lockdown for ten years I wouldnât have thought of doing it when we werenât visiting them. Heâd got me one as well, but sure that was his missus as well. They make the world go round

Women have a fantastic talent for long term memories, can be handy alright but occasionally detrimental.
I was surprised to find urquell were still independent. Was sure theyâd be working for someone else. Makes it harder to get your hands on though, but an rud is anamah is iontach
Himself and OâBriens would have the best selections in the city.
Even from the point of view of convenience, Iâve never understood why some of the crafteries havenât caught on more to the idea of a 4-6er pack. Manyâs the time Iâve gone into a Dunnes or Supervalu, had a few other bits in hand, got to the booze section and just gone for a box of Brewdog cause itâs the easiest thing to carry.
