Apple or Pear? I don't care! Just give me my Kopparberg!

I must say, I absolutely love Kopparberg Cider.

You all know that I am like totally non-alcholic right? So the only 2 drinks that I ever take in bars and pubs are either Baileys' on the rocks, or maybe just plain jus d'orange.

But in Edinburgh, a new drink that I have been introduced to by my Scottish friends is the Kopparberg Cider, non-alcholic, of course.

It tastes just like a soft drink, that is sweet and fragrant with the essence of pear.

Best of all, the cider is always accompanied by our favourite jokes about our friend, Annie.

One especially crowded evening, Annie was trying to compete with the noise and to place an order for Kopparberg.

The conversation was as follows:

Bartender: Whadda ya have?
Annie: Kopparberg
Bartender: Apple or Pear? (sounded like A Beer or Pair?)
Annie: No! Kopparberg!
Bartender: Aye! Apple or Pear? (again sounding like A Beer or Pair?)
Annie: No beer! Kopparberg!
Bartender: Aye! Apple or Pear? (Yet again!)
Annie: KOPPARBERG!!!!! CIDER!!!!
Bartender: Wad flavar?
Annie: Oh! Erm.. Apple?

So there you have it. Kopparberg!
