Of course, the Dublin-made liquor’s most famous iteration is the green apple version – but other flavours listed reveal a delightful theme:
- Sour Irish Green Apple
- Sour Raspberry
- Sour Blueberry

For shame
It’s just one of those things you have to experience for yourself – for better or worse
A rite of passage <3
