    ooooh Brandy & Babycham - my Grandma had a liking for that one:beer:

    I bought some babycham when the 25% was on but only as a bit of a retro joke for the booze stocks over Christmas. DW tried some the other day laced with Cassis and has developed quite a taste for it now. Basically a Kir Royale a la MSE:rotfl::rotfl:

    DW has also tried it to make snowballs (replacing the lemonade with Babycham) and likes that. Looks like I should have bought more babycham:rotfl:
