Recipes: Hot Hooch

Posted by: rercy in: Drinks | Recipes

I religiously consult the ‘Going up - Going down’ section of the Sunday Times style magazine to keep abreast of what’s hip and what’s not. Naturally I don’t follow any of their advice but reading their checklist of what to wear, eat, listen to, buy and avoid is titillating stuff.

Loose Tea versus Tea Bags

Posted by: rercy in: Drinks | Good Value | Money Saving Tips

For years, I’ve heard people banging on about the merits of loose-leaf tea versus tea bags and I thought to myself - surely there’s better things to talk about.

Cocktail offers have suckered me twice now. Last year, I was at a friend’s birthday and we all piled into Alfie’s on South William Street for the €5 cocktail deal.

Posted by: snackbox in: Bargains & Special Offers | Drinks | Good Value

Subway are currently doing any coffee – cappuccino, latte, americano etc – for one euro. And it’s not bad quality. I have noticed quite a few cheap coffee deals in the city of late, particularly on Aungier St. However, most of the cheapest options are muck.
