Drinks you don't hear being ordered nowadays

Vodka and Russian. Russian = Schweppes mixer circa 1981 - it was bloody lovely, actually. Perhaps you can still get it.

[Annasfield]

Is that the pink tonic?

[TillieTrotter]

Having worked in a friend's pub for the World Cup, I can confirm that Cider and Black has definitely made a come back.

[SimonM]

Milk Stout!

lager and black (which looks/looked and tasted like cherryade)

and I remember a night in college once when I got very drunk on Jack Daniels Manhattans...

[malleymoo]

Got to say reading the lists the thing that sprung to mind was drinking pernod and black all evening the throwing up a dramatic and alarming amount of vivid mess in front of a boy who I was trying to impress on his parents cream carpet. think I never spoke to him after that through sheer embarassment . funnily enough never drank pernod and black again either. several other drinks that have been mentioned above were also teen drinks so this may account for them not being popular anymore too many bad memories

Irish Mist and red lemonade - a favourite of a friend of mine at university. This they only drank it in Newry.

[OliviaDee]

snakebite - didn't they make it illegal with the shot dropped in it?

i was a bar maid in our SU where you used to be able to get 'a pint off the wall' for a fiver - (a pint glass filled along the optics) And there were plenty of takers.

not many who could keep it down though.

multi-coloured boke. they should have just ordered a pint of that - and saved themsleves the inbetween bit.
