The best cocktail in Ireland has been revealed

Alan Loughnane

It sounds rather delicious…

We’re known for our beverages the world over but there’s often a lot of difficulty in deciding which is the best, but when it comes to cocktails, there’s no longer any doubt.

A Waterford bar’s Gunpowder cocktail has been declared the best cocktail in Ireland at the national cocktail festival run by Great Irish Beverages.

The Apple Market from Davy Macs was named Ireland’s favourite cocktail after 90 participating venues created a signature Irish cocktail for the duration of the festival and the public was invited to vote for their favourite via social media.

The winning Irish cocktail, featuring Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, Licor 43, fresh mint, fresh apple, sugar syrup and fresh lemon was chosen as the best by samplers.

Davy Mac’s only opened last Christmas so a very well done to all involved.

Does it have Lucozade though?
