Ask for a Snakebite.
Half Cider, Half Larger.
If the cider is strong enough I promise you that you will only need 2 or 3 pints of that and your night will be done.

Strongbow is very very...very common over here. Generally if you were to ask for a Cider, you'd get strongbow. Its ok, bit weak though...but i guess its because its nothing special over here.

If its an Irish pub ask for a "Magners" next time. Irish cider served with ice. Its nicer than Strongbow in my opinion.

I can't stomach it.

This, on the other hand is alright:

Cider here is 4.7% tops.
I enjoy Pear and Forest Berries once in a while, if I want to mix up a bit.

Not really so much a girls drink as the VK/Vikingfjord/Smirnoff Ice stuff though.

isn't cider just another word for juice?

although i like hot apple cider in the winter time. at least, in the cold winters up north...don't really need "hot" drinks down here. meh.

Cider was the drink of choice in the USA until the German immigrants introduced beer to the American palate and took over.

I've made my own cider every year on my kitchen counter. Fall fairs are a haven for non-pasteurized (hot or cold) and preservative free fresh pressed apple cider. It's really simple to make, 1-2 months and it's ready. I use yeast and sugars nowadays, but when I got started, it was as simple as leaving the jug on the counter and placing a balloon over the top (vapour seal) decanting over a coffee filter and bottling it. Alcohol was about the same as light beer, but get a lot stronger when you add yeast and sugar. Lots of good home cider making sites out there now.
