During an impromptu drinks session last week in Camden, Andy and I somehow imagined the unlikely mixer combination of brandy and Lilt. This follows on from my recent discovery that whiskey and apple juice is a popular, if quirky, combination amongst many celebrities; and my memory of the Muff Diver: a cocktail I invented (admittedly out of severe necessity) in Northern France in 2001. This frankenstein of a creation consisted simply of equal measures vodka and milk- and believe me, those are two ingredients that should never be at the same party.
But back to brandy and Lilt, or 'brilt', as it became known by the end of the session. Thinking we were on to a winner with this drink, believing we were going to revolutionise the drinks market, Andy and I came up with a variety of possible slogans- a sample of which follow (feedback appreciated):
- Brandy and Lilt: The Batman and Robin of mixer drinks.
- Brilt: Carlsberg doesn't do brandy. Or Lilt. But if it did....
- Brandy and Lilt: Who knew?
- Brilt: You can't spell Brilliant without it.
- Brandy and Lilt, brandy and Lilt: It makes you randy and makes you tilt.
- Brilt: Come in vodka and Red Bull, your time is up.
- Brandy and Lilt: Liver shmiver.
- Brilt: Because neon-green urine is fun.
- Brandy and Lilt: How long has this been going on?
- Brandy and Lilt: Because you gotta die sometime.
- When Brandy Met Lilty..
- Brandy and Lilt: A Story of Forbidden Love
- Brandy and Lilt- Because vomiting can be sophisticated.
- Brilt: Now with added tropicality.
- Brandy and Lilt: It's like wife swap. With alcohol.
- Brandy and Lilt: Because Gin and Tonic is so last century.
- Brandy and Lilt- Because remember: they laughed at Cheese and Onion when it first came out.
- Brilt- Tropical and Full of Kick: like getting hit in the nads with a coconut.
So without further adieu, rush out and grab a pitcher of the new drink craze that's sweeping the nation.
Now: if there was only a pub that feckin well sold Lilt...
