A popular drink is a 'Snakebite' beer and cider, often with a dash of blackcurrant cordial.

Also quite nice with Guiness

Guinness and black - a pint of Guinness with a small measure of blackcurrant cordial poured in. most people put the blackcurrant in last but if put in first it makes the head of the Guinness turn purple.

Aye, Snakebite is lovely. Sadly, however, it's illegal for bars to make it for you in the UK, because the mixture of the beer and cider starts them both fermenting again, which means you can't actually tell how much alcohol you are consuming, and results in you going over the drink-drive limit.

I wouldn't be going anywhere near the driving seat of a car regardless of what I'd consumed
