In Ireland, there’s a speciality: the Blackcurrant. This is a type of blackcurrant-based syrup (produced in Ireland), commonly served in the country’s Irish pubs. A little syrup… A little water… And hop! You’ve got a tasty blackcurrant syrup, renowned for its antioxidant properties and rich vitamin C content. But blackcurrant has many other uses… especially in cocktails!
Blackcurrant can be drunk on its own with water, or combined with other ingredients to make a typically Irish cocktail. So it’s not uncommon to be offered cider at Blackcurrant, or even Guinness at Blackcurrant. The drink takes on a bright purple color, and the taste is a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity!
This syrup is available in all good Irish pubs, as well as in supermarkets and other local food stores. This product is affordable (less than €5 a bottle), and is one of the must-haves, much appreciated by the Irish.
A syrup that allows you to vary the pleasures of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks! It’s even used in some pastry recipes!
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Drink in moderation.
