What was the first drink you ever ordered in the pub?

Mine was a (very much under age) visit to the King James Wetherspoons in Cheshunt. I ordered a massive hug of woo woo. It was grim.

What's woo woo?

9! I remember my grandma giving up wee sips of avocaat and lemonade when we were quite tiny - and this must’ve been before we were 5 (I remember my grandpas still alive). It was vile.

Archers and lemonade. So sweet it makes my teeth ache thinking about it!

Who remembers white lightning?

There was a pub near that had white lightening on tap, I kid you not! Classy!

Closed and replaced with flats these days.

Oh, now someone's mentioned Diamond White, maybe it was that?

Strong artificial cider that's never actually met an apple.

Southern Comfort and lemonade from the fox pub north london (now sadly gone)

Maybe it was diamond white.

Shall have to think.

On our 18th birthday, my family took my twin sister & I for a meal & ordered us a flaming sambucca each; although I’d been ordering vodka & orange or snakebite & black for the previous 2 years at work & the local pub…

Vodka and orange from the Crown. Bleurch!

Mine was taboo and lemonade!

@LaurieFairyCake

Snakebite and black

Totally ages me

This was mine too.

Pint of the local stout, I think. They would have served a toddler in a plastic moustache as long as they could hold their drink.

Bizarrely the first occasion I truly remember was a friend recommending that we order White Russians at her birthday meal at a well known pizza chain when we must have been 13 or 14

Pint of Theakstons XB. Age 15. Trying to impress the bloke I was with. It was fucking vile and I've never touched bitter since.

Smirnoff ice. I was about 15 and I looked the oldest so I was sent to the bar to get 3 bottles for me and my friends. I went to the bar with about £2 thinking it was enough cos that's how much 3 drinks would be. Was a shock when the bartender said it was about £7.50. I thought I'd been ripped off just for a few drinks not realising alcohol costs more than a Panda Pop

I don't actually remember, I ordered wine in france from around 14 so would probably have been wine or possibly vodka and coke

Smithwicks in a rock bar in central Dublin with my cousin when we were both 15, on a Sunday afternoon. I couldn’t believe it.

Half a lager, was so shocked to actually get served!

Does anyone drink Smithwicks any more? It seems like a drink from the past, like mead, or absinthe!

Plain Cinzano. I was fourteen and thought myself very sophisticated!

Snowball.

A blue WKD or a Smirnoff ice!
I also had a thing for Malibu and coke, I find it all so sickly now

Vodka and lime. Well, it was the early 70s!
At lunchtime, six of us used to squash into the tiny car of one of the few sixth formers with a licence, and quickly drive to a pub just far enough away that none of our teachers would be having lunch in it. It was also known as a haven for underage drinkers.
As the smallest and skinniest, I lay across the laps of the three lads in the back seat, with my feet sticking out of the window.
We came back suitably refreshed to face double physics…

Very underage, 14 or 15.
It was a bar called Roadhouse in Covent Garden. It was there for years. I ordered a Sol (like corona) with lime

Probably a blue wkd!

Dry martini and lemonade
