So this Irishman walks into a bar… Magners Irish Cider
With temperatures in Sydney reaching in excess of 40 degrees regularly this summer I have found the perfect drink. Served with as much ice as you can fit in your tall glass, Magners Irish Cider is truly a good thing! I was never a fan of strongbow cider, but was introduced to Magners on ice while in the UK a few summers ago, and I’m glad I was.
This is not just a sweet fizzy apple juice with a bit of a kick, this is a decent drink. It is a sweet cider with a light, crisp and refreshing nature. Most importantly it’s not too sweet.
I have noticed that it is becoming more and more common place in bars and bottle shops alike here in Sydney. It’s available in both bottles and long necks. The long necks are good value and work out to be ~$4.50 if you buy it by the case.
The only danger with this drink is that the ice takes the edge of the taste of the alcohol, making it easier to overindulge.
My suggestion next time it gets a little too hot – Grab some friends, a bag of ice a case of Magners and sip the heat away.
