Rock shandy

[polladdy]

I'm always thought a rock shandy was red lemonade and orange. Am I wrong. I'm being corre ted because club brought it out as lemon and orange but definitely when I was young it always had red lemonade. Is this a cork thing or more particularly and over t0s cork thing

in cork it was always

pint glass
plenty of ice
equal amounts of tanora and club orange

yum


so few bars do it now

This is the correct recipe.

The odd time I might go free-jazz on it and ask for a Club lemon rather than orange. In the summer.

Can you still get Tanora in pubs? It used to be my go-to on a night when I wasn't drinking.

Rock Shandy originates from Jack O'Rourkes pub in Blackrock in Dublin

Just because some Dublin pub owner says something doesn’t make it fact. For years they claimed Johnny Fox’s was the highest pub in Ireland, or that the Brazen Head was the oldest pub in Ireland. Both were oft-repeated false claims

Well the fact that the Chairman of C&C or whoever it was says it's the origin would be enough for me
