Everyone who knows me, knows well that I'm not a fan of Guinness. I know I live in Ireland, but still can't drink it, even if it's freshly poured in a pub. It's too bitter for me and too heavy, but surprisingly I like the smell of Guinness, quite a lot actually.
They have a drink called Kir in Brittany, France (made with Breton cider and a measure of crème de cassis - blackcurrant liqueur) we sure to have something similar in Ireland, no...? And we do! I've heard, that pubs in Ireland would add a blackcurrant syrup to your Guinness if you ask, but it's viewed by locals as "desecration", so be careful what you're asking for ;)
So, thinking down the same lines as they do in France, why not add blackcurrant liqueur instead of syrup - surely that will be better, as it won't "dilute" your Guinness ;) I vaguely remember reading about something like that online and I think it was called "The Lady Guinness". Now the most important - what a surprise, I like it!
How to make it...
Ingredients:
- 1 can of cold Guinness
- 1 measure of blackcurrant liqueur
Method:
It makes the Guinness that bit sweeter, but not "weaker" and that very distinctive smell of Guinness is there too. Even if you don't like Guinness, give the below drink a go, I think you'll be surprised at how much you might enjoy this, and it's only 2 ingredients!
How to make it...
Ingredients:
- 1 can of cold Guinness
- 1 measure of blackcurrant liqueur
Method:
Take a beer serving glass - or something little smaller and "delicate" like mine - pour your blackcurrant liqueur first and top it up, gently, with Guinness. Nothing else left, but to enjoy!
Smacznego!
