The very weak Normandy ciders are perfect for this weather. Very appley taste, about 2-3% alcohol so you can keep going all day with no headache even in the sun. About €0.80 in France but you can get them here for a couple of quid for 75cl.
3 for £5 in tesco so bought another Smirnoff raspberry and pomegranate then decided to try the Rekorderlig passion fruit one then got the Kopparberg strawberry and lime to make up the numbers.
Just sitting in my back garden with a Sainsbury's taste the difference Suffolk Cyder. Made by Aspall, 4.6% and It's a medium dry with definite taste of apple, or at least that's what the label says. Not really a proper mans cider, in my opinion, but good replacement for a bottle of dessert wine on a Monday night. Cider is made of apples and nothing else and needs no ice. I think the ice is added for the people who have an underdeveloped sense of taste, it takes away all flavour if you add enough of it. The fruit drinks are pure nonsense made for the youth to introduce them to alcohol, should be on a UN banned list along with mild cheddar and frothy coffee.

I will have a few at the beginning of a night or in this weather. Love rekorderlig Strawberry & lime, Old mouts are good too. I think i did have a few too many when i stuck on them on New Years eve and have too much it just bloats you out and isn't the nicest. But a few early doors or in a pub garden is perfect
The new found fad for the pretentious skinny jean wearing, bearded w*nk buckets. Glass the size of a vase filled with half a cactus and pomegranate, ooh you can really pick out the Rosemary notes. While 15 minutes later you are still waiting for a Bud to be grabbed out the fridge while this entry for the Turner Art Prize is still being created. Tossers.
Anyone ordering a Gin should be asked where their nan and grandad are sitting, and if they haven't got them with them they should be thrown out the pub.

Can't stand them, cider should taste of apples and nothing else. Aspalls all day long.
Mmm yes. I'm mostly on the wagon these days, but got a couple of bottles of Aspalls in for election night. Very nice indeed, although the 7% stuff went down far too easily. Drinking it in this weather would be a major tactical error I reckon.
Yes, definitely not a session cider. I have made the mistake but boy was I rough the next day.
Tried Strongbow dark fruits on draught yesterday as it was so hot and it looked quite refereshing. Tasted a bit like Vimto. It was drinkable, but I will remain a Lager man.

You're just not happy as you can't see over the bar to order.

Next debate is which is better:
Bacardi Breezer
Hooch
Two Dogs Moscow Mule
The one exception is the perfect summer cocktail: half-fill a tall glass with dry cider, add ice, top up with gin.

Fruit Ciders = Alcopop

Lot of volume though isn't it, and once the night wears on, im overtaking myself coming back from the loo.
Ice, lug of bombay sapphire or dockyard gin (best gin I've ever drank) and slimline tonic with a thin slice of cucumber
