Red lemonade

Red lemonade is a popular soft drink (locally called 'minerals') in Ireland. Lemonade in Ireland (like in England) is a generic term for a fizzy drink. Unlike in England, it comes in two varieties - red and white. Visitors to the country are often surprised when serving staff ask which type a person has ordered.

Red lemonade is one of the most popular mixers used with spirits in Ireland. Popular mixes include 'Paddy and red', Paddy being a top selling Irish whiskey, and 'Suddy and red', referring to Southern Comfort liqueur. A non-alcoholic combination, which packs a nice little kick, is called a 'Kick in the bollocks'. This is a pint glass of ice containing a can of Red Bull and red lemonade.
