    A random question I need to solve! Am watching a documentary about the writer Dermot Healy on the rte player, anseo, http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1088145

    c.43 minutes into the documentary (and earlier also actually) it shows a dark orange/red drink with maybe a clove in it in a glass in front of the pint of lager.. Seems like it's to accompany the pint..

    Does anyone know what it is? Haven't seen it before. Strange colour!

    A highly doubt they are serving a tequila sunrise in what looks like a besht of the wesht of Ireland pub. I'd say tomato juice, or it's big sister a bloody mary or maybe a slightly cloudy hot port??

    Thank you all so much for taking the time to have a look and for sharing your suggestions!

    Dazey, how could one mix/make a slightly cloudy hot port? ! I like the idea of the hot port, seems likely, though on the other hand would you want to drink a hot drink alongside a cold pint of lager?

    It is made with port, I think that is a fortified wine, topped up with boiling water, some sugar and then some cloves, cinnamon or nutmeg for some spice ...can't find the exact quantities of each ingredient on line, it is similar to mulled wine

    Sorry I meant how do you make a 'cloudy' hot port :)

    There's a straw. Hot port through a straw doesn't sound likely.

    I can't how you could make port look that colour either.

    As unlikely as it seems given the location and drinker it seems to be a cocktail of some sort but the fact that it's in one of those glasses suggests that it was heated so I'm still flummoxed.
