So that's exactly what we do in Bar 1661, because Pochine has this incredible history, but it also has a lot of preconceptions that surround it.

I think we may all have a spirit that we may have encountered in our younger years that shouldn't have taken... Tequila.

Yeah, exactly.

Don't ever, I can't even smell it, yeah.

There's people who, they don't drink tequila, but they'll drink a margarita.

So that's our whole, that's our whole spiel is we're putting potcine into cocktails to make it palatable and make it kind of for the masses and for the people again.

So today we've got three really fun cocktails for you.

We've got two Mikkel cocktails.

One of them is an Irish margarita or an Irish daisy, as it were, with some Irish honey, some lime, some potcine.

Mikkel is beautiful because it has botanicals in it.

It has a specific botanical called bog bean.

and it's super floral and grassy, so it works really nicely in the place of agave, which is why we've also put it into a paloma.

That's the paloma, so that would be poccine, a bit of lime, and some grapefruit soda.

so what is in this now what's going to happen that is just some potching a little bit of lime and then some grapefruit soda as well and you don't need to be too scared because none of the potchings we have here today are going to make you go blind or anything what do you think is it nice

Keep it.

No, drink it.

Yeah, why not?

And so this is probably the proudest Pochine cocktail out there.

This is the Belfast coffee.

And we're just talking about margaritas.
