I watched Pointless the other day and a Wango was mentioned - whisky and Tango!

@Hollyoakswatcher

I had champagne with brandy at a party quite a few years ago. Don’t know whether that’s unusual or not but I certainly would never have thought about putting them together. Would very much recommend though.
Brandy & Babycham was popular in the 80s!
OhYouBadBadKitten · 12/12/2020 22:30

snakebite. Lager and cider. Just why?

WithIcePlease · 12/12/2020 22:31

Isn't there a drink that can be made with baileys and crepe de menthe that ends up looking like an eyeball in a glass as Bailey sort of congeal a? I'm sure I saw someone make it in a pub once

@midnightstar66

Baileys and sambuca make a great shot.
Also known as a Slippery Nipple, it was my favourite shot on many a night out. Hangovers after a few, not so good 🤦🏻‍♀️

Whisky, drambuie & cherry brandy - best sipped from a hip flask during a winter walk in the country.

Possibly outing to those who know me, but Guinness, Tia Maria and coke is a fab combo from my youth!

DelphineWalsh · 12/12/2020 22:52

Amaretto, coke and lager tastes just like Dr Pepper.

Amaretto and jack daniels on ice.

Port & blue WKD aka cheeky vimto

Posted to soon, I see a pp posted warninks & Prosecco as a posh snowball, in our house that's a Snowball Royale.
Also a fan of Warninks and rhubarb gin, well rhubarb and custard is a classic combination after all.

HillaryWhitney · 12/12/2020 23:14

My friend tonight just told me about a breakfast martini which is gin, Cointreau, lemon juice and MARMALADE

VienneseWhirligig · 12/12/2020 23:15

Snakebite (and black) is my personal favourite at the pub. Difficult to get these days though, most pubs won't serve it.

JaceLancs · 12/12/2020 23:19

Brandy and Benedictine
Cherry brandy and gin

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 12/12/2020 23:21

Bourbon and Dr.Pepper! Grin

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 12/12/2020 23:22

@VienneseWhirligig we used to call snapshots and black "diesel" and with a vodka in it it's "leader diesel" Grin

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 12/12/2020 23:23

Leaded even!

BrandySours · 12/12/2020 23:25

Tia Maria & fresh orange juice...
Tastes like Terry's Chocolate Orange 😍😍

DartmoorChef · 12/12/2020 23:26

Brandy with iced coffee or chocolate milk

Red wine with tonic water

Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 12/12/2020 23:28

Bailey's and chocolate milkshake

CrazyToast · 12/12/2020 23:54

(Diet) coke and red wine! It's a Spanish drink called Calimocho. Well nice.

I used to mix Strongbow with Red Bull but it probably wasnt a good idea. Tasted nice though.

CrazyToast · 12/12/2020 23:55

@OhYouBadBadKitten Snake bite and black (shot of blackcurrant too)-- a fave with the goths.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 13/12/2020 00:00

Gin, limoncello and tonic 👍

AriesTheRam · 13/12/2020 09:02

@JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn ill be trying that one!

You're forgetting the best...

gin, vodka, tequila, rum and triple sec--add coke and a twist of lime for a Long Island Iced Tea.

HostessTrolley · 13/12/2020 09:47

Passoa and prosecco is deceptively lethal - it tastes a bit like Fanta fruit twist
