Lambrusco! White, rose and red. I had to get a bottle for nostalgia's sake. (And its 2.95 a bottle) It was the pre alcho pop fizzy drink of choice. And the red was more sophisticated (ha, who am I kidding?)
Any other long lost drinks that scream big hair and shoulder pads?

Cinzano for me

Lokide92 · 14/10/2018 20:33

Pernod and black, haven't drunk it since 1988!

SallyOMalley · 14/10/2018 20:35

Yes, Cinzano! And martini. Oh and babysham - my first alcoholic drink!

WeeSausage · 14/10/2018 20:36

I thought you were going to say creamola foam!

Nanasueathome · 14/10/2018 20:36

What about Cherry B

Cheeseplantandpickle · 14/10/2018 20:36

My mum drank rum and black in the 80s. I drank Malibu and coke, Tia Maria and coke and Archers and Lemonade in the 90. Drank Lambrusco and Lambrini at uni.

Diamond white cider

KatherinaMinola · 14/10/2018 20:38

I discovered that a few months ago - low alcohol, pink and £2.95 a bottle. What's not to love? Grin

Benjaminbuttonschild · 14/10/2018 20:38

Lambrusco - the first drink I got drunk on Grin

HairyPotter · 14/10/2018 20:39

I seem to remember drinking something called Bezique. It was in a fancy ass shaped bottle and memory it’s was a Bacardi type thing. Was there also something called Taboo?

MrsMoastyToasty · 14/10/2018 20:40

DH will have a mad dog 20-20 and I'll have a black russian if anyone is at the bar. We're busy dancing to Come On Eileen.

BonnieF · 14/10/2018 20:40

Taboo and lemonade. This sickly sweet pink stuff was the thing for girls around town to be seen drinking in Derby in 1989. The lads generally drank pints of ‘lager top’ because they didn’t really like beer but couldn’t be seen orderingshandy by their mates.

PunkrockerGirl59 · 14/10/2018 20:41

Dubonnet and lemonade Grin It was hideously sweet and disgusting but my goodness I had some cracking nights out on that stuff!

BishyBarneyBee3 · 14/10/2018 20:42

I love a dry martini and lemonade, also snowball

Northernmum100 · 14/10/2018 20:42

Ooh- Mad Dog. That was the luminous one in a variety of flavours wasn't it?

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 14/10/2018 20:43

Diamond white was very late 80s, even I'd guess early 90s. (The imbibing of which in no way led to the conception of dtwins)
Lokide I bet the reason is a purple puke. All been there love.
Pony-higher alcoholic % than red wine.
No one drinks snake bite anymore. I remember working a town centre pub after heavy metal concerts. We'd have to throw glasses out because we couldn't clean them.

Mud shakes all round here - didn't have a clue they were alcoholic first time o drank a case full of them .... until I went to stand up 😣

MadisonAvenue · 14/10/2018 20:49

Oh, and I remember there being Taboo and another drink in the same style bottle but a different colour. I want to say that it was called Mirage?

TigerDroveAgain · 14/10/2018 20:51

Brandy and pep, that’s peppermint cordial, not Pepsi
