Cider and Lager ..... the aficionados like it using Scrumpy Jack or White Lightning Cider ('bout 8%) with Stella or Heineken Export ('bout 5 to 5.5%). Yes a couple of pints of that mix and most people are out of their heads. Most landlords refuse to serve it as a mix and many (self included in my day) would not allow it to be sold as separate drinks to the same person 'cos we knew they would mix it as soon as they got back to a table.


Cider and Guinesss is a poor mans version of Champagne and Guiness which is known as a Black Velvet. Brilliant with oysters.

You may or may not recall that TMR and myself have spoken of Snakey (Snakebite), name obviously from his drinking habits. Only person in pub allowed to drink it, not to include Stella, Carling only.

Port & Guinness anybody?

Down here it is Cider and Lager, with a dash of blackcurrant cordial to give a nice red/pink hue. Only one person in my local is allowed to drink it.

It's just snakebite around.

Maybe where Wenchy imbibes they like to use extra words, just to be different.

It's what your landlord is used to.

Wenchy is right about "Black" to indicate the use of blackcurrant cordial or for that matter "Lime" or "Green" to indicate a wish for lime cordial to be added but the basic Snakebite is cider and lager mixed in equal proportions.

Some used to order Guiness and blackcurrant...... an abomination IMHO and an insult to a landlord who works hard in his cellar to provide a decent pint.
