Rum & Shrub. Brandy & Lovage.

Does anyone still drink these? Marvelous drinks for the cold weather and especially around Christmas time.

Add Port and Brandy to those, very nice.

Still got half a bottle of Shrub in the back of the cabinet, I believe. My old dads favourite.

Don't drink too many of these. You'll get addled quite quickly.

I can clearly remember when I last drank both these potions.
I was on holiday in Cornwall and missed the 7 nil thrashing of Walsall,courtesy of Wardy and Spider.Heard the result on the radio and went back to the hotel to celebrate.
Saw these drinks that I wasn't familiar with ,and gave them a go.Enjoyed them but haven't drunk them since!

Just found, and immediately bought some Pussers rum. Rarely see it here. I seriously doubt if ive ever had a better rum. Not seen the one I bought today before, so looking forward to trying it this evening..Wouldnt be able to bring myself to mix it with anything though

109 proof; 54.5% Alc/Vol.

Alcoholic Shrubb and Lovage made by a company called Phillips is not stocked by many pubs these days. Another favourite at this time of the year and never sold at any other is Advocaat as in a snowball.

And the Worlds best cure for the trots to boot

Did the Royal Navy use that to run the ship's engines ?

I was never in the Soup but my mum was in the Wrens and she told me that the nearest to the rium issued to sailors was Navy Neaters
