Tanora

Is Tanora actually only available in Cork? Or is this just a rumor like:eek:

Tazzle

Certainly limited anyway. I managed to grab some at the tescos by o'connell street in dublin though.

Tree

essentially cork. available in a small few spots in dublin. not much else.

and while tanora is specifically cork, red lemonade is an irish thing.

BanzaiBk

Boyfriend picked it up in Dunnes George's St recently. I've seen it in a few Dublin Tescos aswell. No other counties though .

Ya, I always make an effort to look for it if I'm going to Dublin or anywhere out foreign (:D), in Urlingford etc., never managed to find it... Something else to claim as our own:rolleyes:

easy now, tanora is nothing like red lemonade. tanora & jameson, yum! red lemonade & jameson, ugh...

Tree

i'm well aware of the differnce. but there are many foodstuffs that ppl take for granted w/o realising they're local. rasa is another drink that's cork only and impossible to get anywhere else

They both work...

Tanora isn't sweet enough tbh, Irn Bru or Dr Pepper sugarhighs ftw.

Tazzle

your opinion doesn't count liam. asians out.

Blitzkrieger

I thought it was a Munster thing? Pretty sure you can get it in Limerick........

Once my friend heard a rumour that they were going to stop making Tanora so we drank loads of it and had a little stockpile going. Then after a month or so we noticed that the stocks in the shops were not depleting at all and I had made myself so sick of Tanora I couldn't drink it for a few years.

"Zomg Wangkang Jewballs, what an interesting name!"

CantGetNoSleep

You can get it in Waterford and Limerick, certain of that

And whoever said rasa? WTF

alancork

When the plastic bottles came out first there a few years ago, everyone went mad. T'was big news at the time! Well, in my limited social circle..:D

rasa! rasberry cordial, savage stuff like

BanzaiBk

I've had no problems ordering a vodka and rasa around the country, hardly only a Cork thing?

invincibleirish

Shush BanzaiBk! things like reality make no sense to these particular notions people have!

I don't get this practice of putting resberry or blackcurrent cordial into everything. Surely it covers the delicious flavour of the Tanora. I used to do it to glasses of stout though 'cause of the bitterness.

People who put cordial into a pint of Beer, what the fvck is wrong with them? do they not know that its disgusting!

BanzaiBk

Rasa and Guinness in a glass is the best evar!!!11 though:p

CantGetNoSleep

You can get rasa f*cking everywhere ya clown

thejuggler

I remember as a child seeing tv adverts for tanora maybe 15-20 years ago so it must have been widely available at that point. Sunkist is another one that you don't see in the shops anymore. That was nice.

Tree

no you can't get rasa outside cork. honestly.

there;s a massive diffrence between rasa and blackcurrant cordial that a lot of ppl dont seem to be able to comprehend.

BanzaiBk

I was out in Dublin last night and had a vodka and rasa. It was definitly rasa.

Tree

pink and pretend raspberry flavour? ive never been able to find it outside the county

BanzaiBk

Twas like the Finches stuff you get at home in the plastic bottles in pubs/clubs. Violent pink in colour.

GO back -- LIE down -- GO to sleep, and dream -- sweet dreams --- I hope that you won't have wet (RASA) dreams :p:p

CantGetNoSleep

Yes you can. Honestly

I've had rasa in Dublin, Limerick, Tipperary, Galway, Waterford and Cardiff

TBH I think it's a method for weaning yourself off fizzy drinks and aquiring a taste for grown up drinks like beer. Since the invention of alcopops I don't know why it's done any more though.

I found the easist way to acquire a taste for beer, was to....you know.....drink it?

alancork

So tanora, yeah.:eek:

Heard that the old ribena in a pint of Murphys is your only man.. Haven't tried it tho..yet..

Aspiration

Walked into Tesco Stillorgan a few weeks ago and screamed at my housemate when I found 3 bottles of Tanora on the shelf. So I bought all 3 bottles it's the best hangover drink ever lol

I stock up on Tanora cans when I go home though - it tastes so much better than bottles.

Aodan83

my friend keeps tellin me tanora causes cancer. still hasnt stopped us drinkin it though!!! can anyone tell me if thts true?

dahamsta

Absolutely, proven fact, that's why it's still on the shelves.

Kold

Tanora gave me cancer twice. Sucks.

I've never had any problems getting Tanora in Dublin. Even the little supervalu near me has it. You'd be hard pressed to find anything other than 2 litre bottles, mind you, but it's definitely readily available. Cork people take too much pride in stupid little things.
