I like the way it says 'classic jaffa' when it's actually rasberries. or am I just wrong in thinking that jaffa is a kind of orange?

Pimms is a gin based drink you mix with fruit and lemonade/ginger beer and a sprig of mint. It's great in the summer, it's about 20% so when you've mixed it it gets down to beer strength but you can drink about a bottle without noticing it.

It's a sweet, very distinct taste, kinda like campari I suppose, but different and nicer. They used to have different spirit ones like vodka pimms etc but I think they've mostly been discontinued, although perhaps you can get them somewhere. Pimms No. 1 is the gin one.

You can only get number 1 and number 6 (the vodka one)

Speaking of random British drinks, what's the stuff that you all mix with beer sometimes to create a somewhat sweet beverage, also with a bit of a campari-like flavor. Once mixed, it's called a topper or something like that?

Shandy?

I quite like a lager top occasionally actually. Reminds me of my first beers when I was younger and my dad would let me have a half of bitter top in the pub.

 

[Sirens]

Whats Shandy then?
