Cider

i used to drink CiderJack when i was in college.

i love that stuff!

you mean when we're not drinking bacardi breezers (bleuch)

Bleuch is right! Give me cider any day! Actually, I prefer scotch on the rocks ... guess that's REALLY unladylike. 

magner's is absolutely gorgeous!

I used to drink Strongbow all the time, but now that I've tried Magner's.... i think it's definitely the best.  A bit sweeter than Strongbow, I'd say... really delicious.
I remember visiting Ireland a few years ago and getting cider in the pub... was shocked to find they put ice in it!  At first i thought they just did it because i was American, but i noticed that all the other cider drinkers had ice as well.

I think the telly adverts for Magners show it with ice in the glass too...

Oh, I like cider.  I used to get Hornsby's in the States (it was a rather strong and dry cider); here, when I want cider, I get Strongbow.  It's not something I drink often, but it does make for a nice change from lager from time to time. 

I'm a Guinness girl myself, but it's not nearly as good here in the States as the stuff in the pubs in England.  YUM!

Just wait until you taste it in Dublin!

Speaking of Guinness in Ireland, this popped up in my newsreader this morning:

We have an old fashion Cider Bar close to us and it's fantastic!  They also do fruit wines, which are good, but a potent

Whereabouts is that, Barbara?

Cait!  I totally love it!!  It has inspired me to have one out of the fridge - I know, I know, not even close, but it's all I have since I can't get to Dublin before bed time!!

Ditto to that!  I love Magner's now!!!  Very nice!!!

My boyfriend lives in Cornwall, and there are cider farms all over the place! We have yet to make it to one, but several seem to advertise "free tastings"!!!
