Sloe, blackberry, raspberry or damson. Anything dark and fruity is delicious in gin!

Amazing, thanks! Blackberry and raspberry both sounds nice!

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Special brew,  K cider and blackcurrent hooch (1995 reserve). Mixed and served in a plastic champagne 'glass'.

Disaranno, and lots of it.

Plastic bottles of vodka from the duty free in Dublin Airport, as many as I can get on the plane! If I want beer or cider Ill probably just buy pints. Because we won't have a car the logistics of getting to a supermarket and carrying loads of cans on top of everything else is probably too much. Plus after day one cans will be warm and manky anyway.

I plan on taking a couple of Lansoprazole to help the indigestion. Works wonders.

I don't know why it did that quote box but i couldn't get rid.

Real ale in the day.

Hot and spicy when the sun comes down.

Bottle of jack daniels and coke when it gets to Sunday and I can't drink in volume any more.

Pineapple gin tastes fab - been in the jar for 2 months, I'm going to bottle it up this week.

Now, what's the best ratio of Kahlua and Vodka for white Russians - 1 part Kahlua, 2 parts Vodka?

Decanted mine the other day, tastes fantastic as ever, I really enjoy it 

whatever you do don't eat the pineapple, it's not particularly pleasant from personal  experience

Thanks for the advice - I'll give them a gentle squeeze and leave it at that!!

I've never taken cans meself, but might do this time.. Usually take a bottle of Pernod and a bottle of JD or summat similar, do the mixing there. Decanted, obviously. Skittles vodka is also a must.

Personally, I put the pineapple into a tall cylindrical tub, and squeeze it down with a masher, you get a fair bit of gin out of it. Also I use a sieve when transferring it about, as there tends to be a few bits in it

I've recently discovered spiced rum and old jamaica pineapple soda. Tastes like summer

[MrZigster]

A Cider Bus Hot & Spicy is always a tradition for me. Very nice, especially if you also bring a bit of good brandy to slip in it.

3 cans for £1 if you're near a B&M 

[madtanz]

Pear cider, it tastes good warm but obviously better when cold

Hola all,

What will you all be taking into the festival as your tipple of choice for around the campsite etc?

I'm usually a cider drinker but of late it's been giving me terrible heart burn after.

Any recommendations other than doing two rennies on the head?!?

I suffer from heartburn (and it's a million times worse on the beer/cider) and I always take omeprozole in the morning if I know I'll be drinking. Always take it an hour or 2 before you start cos it prevents it rather than takes it away. I've never had a problem with booze related heartburn since lol. I get it off the doctor but you can buy it over the counter as well. One every morning for the duration of the festival and you should be able to drink cider until it's coming out your ears lol.

Re: Heartburn:

Years long sufferer. Only Nexium used to cut it for me. You can get it without a prescription now. Not for long term use.

My morning medication regime will include some preventative nexium this year! Add to paracetamol, ibuprofen, berocca, pseudoephedrine and a swig of brandy!
