Irish People Try Poitín Cocktails (Irish Moonshine)

[@JayMallow]

Everyone, "OH! BAD! That tastes bad!" Ciara, "Oh that's lovely!" Nice to see some things don't change.

[@bobthomas8342]

Legit LOL at that moment, it was so Ciara.

[@MarkPeterson2023]

Lol she’s hilarious and it makes me feel happy someone else in the world seems to be like me. I’ve had so many people tell me I don’t have tastebuds lol

"If it's legal, it's not poitín." I could hear someone from deep Appalachia say the same thing about moonshine.

[@MrsFord2009]

👏 Amen!

[@debjoy12]

literally every time my old coworker would come back from visiting home (deep southern WV) his trunk would be full of jars of his uncle's moonshine. we called it his car bomb 😂😂

Speaking as someone from Appalachia, you aren't wrong.

They say the same thing in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest. Moonshine, apple jack, or, in my great grandma's case, blackberry "wine" lol

Taters, curds and gravy vs poitín, gin and whiskey. Helluva decision. Cheers....

I'll pass on cheese curds and gravy in my moonshine. Thanks anyways. 🤢

[@ruairimcm4131]

Poitín - pronounced pocheen. Its Irish moonshine. Supposedly it can be made from cereals, grain, whey, sugar beet, and potatoes. Traditional poitín is good for making you feel sick, starting fires, stripping paint, muscle rub, making you fall over a lot and making you go blind. Was often stored in holy water bottles which explains why one of my uncles was so devout.

[@jessehull7911]

I believe it's different in your neck of the woods

[@adennfett8743]

Im already a fan of the Poitini, becuase as a Star Wars nerd, I just hear a Jawa trying it, liking it, and shouting "POUTINI!!!" And that thought alone makes me happy.

"If it's legal, it's not poitin!". As a descendant of applejack makers, I fully support this sentiment.

Did regular applejack drinkers live long enough to have descendants ? (The real stuff, made by freezing, not distillation)

[@OgamiItto70]

Maybe that "Dublin Handshake" should be called the "Irish Ice Tea."

[@preppydudetv]

Any video with Justine is a joy

[@eddiewilkinson9794]

The last drink must have been close to the alchemy of the Long Island Ice Tea, where the alcohol is somehow hidden from your taste buds. Then after 4-5 you stand up and someone keeps moving the floor under you.

[@stephendee7839]

Nobody "stands up" after five long island iced teas!

[@MrBandholm]

@@stephendee7839 I am not so sure about that... After four you are under the table, but maybe nr five will make you stand up again?

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

Dammit, I had legs when I came here.

[@UrbanPanic]

I was thinking that one should be called an Emerald Island. Or maybe that would be if you added absinthe. But then most people would only be physically capable of enjoying one while sitting next to Ciara and her super power.

[@tarmaque]

@@stephendee7839 We had a drummer in my college Jazz band who had just turned 21 while we were on a trip to San Francisco. She was a skinny little thing, who was as tall as I am but weighed about as much as my left leg. She came down to the bar of the hotel we were staying in and sat down with me, another guy, and the band director who was known to have a sense of humor. She'd never drank before in her life, and upon looking at the menu chose a Long Island Iced Tea because she liked "tea." An hour and a half later the band director had bought her _four,_ and she had gone from happy, to _really_ happy, to stupid, to sleepy. The bartender refused to serve her any more drinks. Me and the other guy had to pilot her back up to her room, where her roommate (who was PMSing hard) tried to refuse to let her in. She took a bit of convincing, but eventually let us bring her in and put her in the bathtub. Needless to say, this poor girl looked like death warmed over when we took her to breakfast the next morning, and her roommate was about ready to kill us. Hell, I didn't do it! I had nothing to do with it, except getting her back to her room safely. Semi-safely.

[@allieren]

I wonder how related to our American moonshine poitín is? Since, I believe, the original Appalachian settlers (the primary purveyors of moonshine) were Irish and Scottish.

[@ronjones-6977]

That they said "Irish hillbillies" would definitely lead me in that direction.

[@PsychoKittee1]

Moonshine is made from corn. According to Google, poitin is made from "an eclectic crop of cereals, sugar beet, molasses, and geography a given, potatoes"

[@ryancorsaut5177]

@@PsychoKittee1 moonshine is made from lots of things. Heck I’ve known old timers to make it from turnips and cherries. I think there is definitely some Irish influence in American “shine”.

[@gothabilly5]

Moonshine just means untaxed liquor, in theory it could be whiskey, rum, vodka

[@anonymousperson015]

Poitín gets it's name from the container it's made in: a small copper pot still ("-ín" in Irish means "small"). Fairly sure pot stills are used for some moonshine too, so definitely could be some connection.

[@deennaemilio]

This is from 17th January 2022 and they are in summer clothes and when they put that iced drink to their skin, I shivered, as we are in 12 inches of snow and the temps are near 0.

My poitin story is many years ago my father got to try some when visiting his brother in law who still had cousins in Ireland. The poitin had been smuggled in by a nun who had explained the bottle to the customs officials by saying “ it was just a wee bit of holy water she was bringing to her dear Cousin John”. They waved her right through. That night my dad got very tipsy and danced in his night gown ( I’d made as a joke).

Whenever I make spritzers at my bar I use Sprite or 7Up because it helps cut any acidity in the wine. If the wine is on the cheaper side it will be more sour/acidic usually. Just a little tip for the future 😊

[@Charlesb88]

White wine and soda water is the very definition of a “Spritzer” which I must assume then is not a common cocktail in Ireland but is quit popular at in the U.S. and can even be bought premixed from certain wineries over here. Often it’s made with a sweeter white rather then a dry white wine.
