Recession Busting Booze (1 Viewer)

[Scientician 0.8]

There are a number of cheapo tipples that are pretty delicious that I have recently discovered.


This one here is €15 from Tesco (700ml bottle) and is a fairly palatable drink along the lines of your Jim Beam or Jack Daniels (but of course at 50% of less than the price tag on the two latter Bourbons). I was going to also recommend Western Gold from Lidl (roughly €15) but I have not been able to find it of late, think it may have been discontinued (probably after making a load of hobos go blind or something). Western Gold was even more similar to JD.


The above is also available from Tesco priced at €20.99 for a 700ml bottle and makes a decent beverage when mixed with ginger ale and a slice of lime.

Any other recommendations?

Mentioned elsewhere earlier today.

Aldi's "Oliver Cromwell Dry Gin"

Highly rated by gin fans. Irish Republicans may wish to decant into a vessel that doesn't bear the name of the hated Cromwell.


This is just as good as Bombay Sapphire and almost as good as Dingle Gin- and is much, much cheaper. I can't see the Irish price online but trust me on this.

I'll second that Aldi gin, it's about 15 quid and you can absolutely go to town on it with barely any ill effects the following day.Lime juice,sparkling water and some gin.Delicious,hydrating and helps ward off scurvy
