#DrinkUpLinkUp — Killian’s Irish Stout

Tonight, my husband and I grabbed dinner at our favorite Irish Pub. Our waiter/bartender told us they were trying a new Irish Stout and wondered if we’d like to try it. Sure! We’re adventurous!

 Killians

My husband is the dark-beer drinker, but I occasionally love a stout for something different.

It poured a rich, dark chocolate color — you couldn’t see through it. There wasn’t the strong hop smell I am used to with beer, so I wasn’t exactly prepared for what I’d taste.

What hit me was a smooth coffee flavor, ending with a slight chocolate finish. I really liked it! My husband said it matched perfectly with his bangers and mash, but to me it would be a great dessert beer. Either way, we were definitely fans!

Next time you order a Killian’s, see if they have the Irish Stout. I think you’ll be surprised by how good it is.

#DrinkUpLinkUp — 360 Georgia Peach

2 Comments

Growing up, we had a peach tree outside of our house. As a result, I love fresh picked peaches. I’m not talking peaches from the store, I mean picked off the tree, rubbed against your jeans leg “to clean it off” and bit into right there. I suppose I am a bit picky about my peaches…

But I have to say, what Georgia Peaches I’ve had have all be aaaaamazing. So when I saw 360 Georgia Peach Vodka, I had to try it. At the bar, we deal with a lot of flavored vodkas, but I’d not tried peach yet.

Everyone I’ve told about this vodka has gone, “OOoh!”  And, yes, its most definitely “OOh!” worthy. I think I have a new favorite flavored vodka.

Open the lid and you’re hit with the smell of peaches. I’ve tried it with water, Sprite and orange juice… with orange juice as my favorite mixer. It’s the ultimate Fuzzy Navel!!

This is just one of 360 Vodka‘s many flavors. I reviewed their Buttered Popcorn flavor back in November. (By the way, we did finally finish the bottle of it about a week ago.) For as quirky as that flavor is, that’s how smooth and fresh Georgia Peach is. I’d highly recommend grabbing a bottle for some fun summer-time drinks.

And if the flavor doesn’t pull you in, the fun bottles and the fact that 360 Vodka is eco-friendly might do the trick. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
