Its a mixture of white wine, vodka and peaches, fantastic with lots of ice.......on the list to get when next in the UK! They used to do a companion one, vodka, white wine and lime, called Mirage but that was less popular and I don't think you can get it now.

Wouldn't that be similar to a Westcoast Cooler? Me...I pine for a Babycham with a cherry stuck in it!
Still disapointed to find that all my favourite soft drinks (Tizer, Dandelion & Burdock, IronBru, Vimpto etc) in UK are now stuffed full of artificial sweetners.

What is with the obession in the UK with putting artificial sweetners in everything? :confused: I bought some apple juice for the kids over there, it said "no added sugar" great, I thought. May have had no added sugar but it had artificial sweetners in it! And it wasnt just one thing - I struggled to find anything that didnt have artificial sweetners in it to give the kids :eek: :rolleyes: .

Agree. Only get Original Ribena or "high juice" squashes - at least you know where you are with sugar! Apart from anything else the flavour of sweeteners is foul.

Hi
I remember Taboo as my favourite college tipple...didn't taste of alcohol at all. Drank some a couple of years ago but added extra vodka and wine...great summer drink - one minute you are refreshed and happy...the next VERY VERY drunk!!!!
Had forgotten about it...loved it though and if you can buy it in Adelaide I will..might try to recreate it....

I saw some drink labelled 'lite' in Coles the other day and thought "uh oh...here we go". Hope we don't go the same way as the UK...aspartane is one of the food additives which has clearly been linked with health problems. Tastes bloody awful too!
