This Buckfast, Tennent’s and Irn Bru cocktail could be the most Glaswegian drink ever

We've seen many lethal cocktails in our time... But this one is arguably the most patriotic.

Fore Play Crazy Golf have created a "festive ode to Glasgow" – a gut-churning fusion of Buckfast, Tennent's and Irn Bru. On ice. With a candy cane as a garnish.

If that's not already taking it to extremes, the bar staff over at Kinning Park have named it 'I Touch My Elf.'

It might seem like something you knocked together at an empty when you were 16, but apparently the drink has gone down a treat with punters.

Kasia Neilson, co-owner of Fore Play Crazy Golf, said: "It’s surprisingly tasty and is already one of our most popular cocktails.

“We created a brand new cocktail list just for Christmas and wanted to add something that represented Glasgow."

Other drinks on offer include the charmingly named Grinch's Hole – a mix of Midori, prosecco and cranberry juice – along with Rum Pa Pa Pa Punch (Southern Comfort and Havana Rum with mulled apple juice) and lastly, the sassy Sleigh My Name; Cointreau, Tia Maria, espresso and milk.

Resident street food vendors The Prague Shack have also unveiled a mouth-watering new menu – boasting everything from turkey, steak and Schnitzel to crispy broccoli, and halloumi fries. You can check that out below.

The warehouse-turned-golf course has been a hit with Glaswegians since its launch last year – ideal if you want a fun group activity, cocktails and scran all under one roof. Check out their Facebook and website for more info.
