A BLAST FROM THE PAST

I was watching TV the other night and during the breaks there were a number of adverts for alcho-pops. Some would think that these type of drinks a relativley new, but I remember them as far back as the early 90’s.

One of the first ones I can remember was Bacardi Breeze, then there was Castaway and a mixture of drinks called MD 202o.  One of my favourites was called a Blast Away, this was when you mixed a bottle of Diamond White with a bottle of Castaway in a pint glass, there was many a cloudy night after drinking this mix which tatsed like Lilt, but was just a little bit stronger.

The alcho-pop which seemed to Kick the whole craze off was a drink called Hoopers Hooch, Can you still get this ? It was a Lemonade type drink with a bit of a kick.  Since then there have been numerous other drinks invented, most of which I have never tried as I like to think my tastes are a bit more refined now.

Oh the memories !!!
