Has been for a while (tends to be deli type places, not seen it in any supermarkets). Available in some pubs here (Newcastle).

Not on ice... Better to freeze it (but it won't freeze if it's the proper stuff) and you end up with a thick and creamy slush.

I'm a bit of a cutural ghetto when it comes to alcohol, I like nice wine and gin but I'm not educated in any way! So my favourite drink on a hot day is a whopping great glass of gin, mixed with lemonade, and lashings of ice and lime.

Yum. See, philistine (if I could spell it).

First tried it in this country in, oooh, mid-90's there or thereabouts. The offie 'round the corner does 275ml bottles, 500ml tins, and 600ml bottles of it.

Only seen the 275s (330s?) down here. We got a 24 last summer and it made for a pretty rowdy bbq...

Continuing the thread theme of drinks which make others question your sexuality, I'll put in a vote for mimosas (1/2 orange juice 1/2 bubbly). Made some with an old bottle of cava a few weeks ago, really hit the spot in the hot weather
