    Tesco doing decent 4 bottles for 10€ deal now

    This includes 660ml bottles of peroni and Heineken

    So best value I'd 4*660ml Peroni for 10€

    Box of 12 X 330ml for €15 works out the same for peroni. And only counts as one item if doing the big shop online (80 item limit). Down side with the small ones is when you tell the wife you are having a couple of beers!

    Did they not advertise several slabs "from €20"? Seems to be how they're doing it lately.

    Controversial in fairness. There was no “from” on the poster. It was 1.66/ltr. Never materialized. Went to dunnes with 3 x tenner vouchers. 6 slabs for €138. That’s the weeekend sorted:)

    Havana club 3 year old is on offer in tesco for 24 at the moment.

    https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=262704861

    It is aged so not a white rum, but it is not overly strong flavoured at all, and not a dark rum, its aged white rum.

    I see now it is 23euro in Obriens
    https://www.obrienswine.ie/products/havana-club-3yo-70cl

    I don't like bacardi at all, it is 22 in obriens but you have to factor in that it is weaker at 37.5%, it it was 40% like havana then it would be 23.47 a bottle

    I know this is slightly off-topic, but I'm really surprised to see everyone here praising the Jameson Stout Caskmates. I tried that a few months ago and thought it was very harsh. Got more of a burn off it than I would standard Jameson. Whereas I think the IPA one has a nice subtle flavor to it and goes down easy. Each to their own I suppose!

    Blossom Hill wine 6 for 40 in my local Circle K at Artane roundabout.

    Handy if you need to stock up for bbq
    Lightly chill the red I reckon.

    Peroni 4x330 ml for 6e.

    Another vote for havana club here. I cant understand why it isnt more popular. The havana club especial is on offer in Tesco at 25 euro too. Cant go wrong with either but id stretch another 2 euro, or get one of each ðŸ‘

    For Pina Colada, the quality of the rum really doesn't matter.
    Havana club or similar would be wasted, focus on the other ingredients IMO.
    Good pineapple juice, and quality coconut cream are far more important.

    Mount gay rum. That is it for rum. Nothing else.

    And don't overdo the booze or it'll be ruined.

    I got the Havana 3yo before.
    How is it drank, straight or with a mixer ?
    Diluted it with tonic water before.

    I've gotten through a fair few bottles of the 3yo and the anejo especial over the years, but rarely straight.

    The classic 'higball' for it would be a cuba libre, with cola and lime wedge.
    I like to add a dash of fiery ginger ale.

    You could also make a cuban mojito:
    https://recipes.sainsburys.co.uk/recipes/sides/havana-club-mojito

    But if rum and tonic works for you, stick with it.
