Broke open my Tres Manos Anejo.:). Outstanding.
a) do you mix it or take it straight up?
b) how much is a bottle?
c) where do you hide it in the event of visitors?
.....
Ice cubes in the cider?
= gay.
^^^ You never had Magners with ice?
^^ he will have......, to be sure, to be sure:)
And that Irish piss is only 4.5%

It was quite refreshing actually
And, my dear Luigi, it's only gay if you dont finish it before the ice melts:)Quote:
There seems to be an idea that the Irish drink their cider (hard cider, that is) with ice. In fact, both[at]Bulmers[at](known here as Magners) and[at]Strongbow—both owned by[at]Heineken International—encourage the consumption of hard cider over ice. We were just wondering…why?
On one hand it looks perfectly refreshing, and works incredibly well in advertising: a river of clear-golden cider flowing over crystal cubes—beverage porn of the highest and most salivary gland tickling order. But what exactly does ice do for cider?
Most hard ciders tend to be lower in alcohol than, say, whiskey—where some water or a nice rock of H2O might do well to dilute the high-test booze and open up some flavors. But ciders rank typically well below the double-digit ABV mark of almost anything reasonably served “on the rocks.”
It seems mostly like a marketing ploy by Magners et al.—what the BBC called[at]its “unique selling point”—designed to mask thinner flavors and/or give cider a specific form of consumption—the way[at]shoving a lime into a bottle of Corona[at]gives a basic macro lager some shadow of exotic flair. According to Heineken, the cider apples “truly fulfill their potential once paired with ice.” (It’s a[at]pretty intense campaign.[at]Their blog post is literally called “Strong Bow Cider Over Ice is the Bestest.”)
Another possibly excuse/theory for the ice-cider connection is seasonality. If you don’t mind a slightly watered down drink, or want something lighter in hotter months, hard cider over ice might just surpass iced tea or even a mint julep on a late summer day[at]
And picture taken at Wilf's Fishing Park as well..
like Neville, It was full of bait :)
