A good Irish drink is a good cup of tea or cocoa. You can have the relaxation you want without getting drunk.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned TK Red Lemonade.... Ireland is the only country that is is available readily and in large quantity...... and by god, it's lovely...

Red lemonade is a popular soft drink in Ireland. Lemonade in Ireland comes in two varieties - red and white. Both are officially lemon-flavoured, but there is a marked difference in taste between the varieties. Visitors to the country are often surprised when serving staff ask which type of lemonade a person has ordered.

Red lemonade is one of the most popular mixers used with spirits in Ireland, particularly whiskey, including Paddy, Jameson and Southern Comfort.

Three major brands of red lemonade exist - TK (Taylor Keith), Country Spring which comes in a three litre bottle, and Nash's. TK is by far the most popular.

Red Lemonade is frequently quoted in the top ten things that Irish expatriates miss about the country.

A popular urban myth is that red lemonade only exists in Ireland as the chemical used to make it red is banned elsewhere in the world.

In Northern Ireland, there is brown lemonade instead of red. This is also lemon-flavoured but with a different taste to the white variety. Brands include Maine and C&C (Cantrell & Cochrane). C&C label this as "Witches Brew" in the weeks around Halloween. TK is also widely available.
