Yes - I've seen it a few years ago in the elephant shop near the Magnum Resort - they also had clear (like vodka) Southern Comfort there, never ever seen that before - perhaps they just had it that long the colour faded away ;)

Yes, we buy the clear Southern Comfort every year to bring back home. We get it from the little supermarket just past the old garage in Calangute.

I would very much doubt it Gemma - best get a bottle and have a little tipple in your room ;)

Gemma, what is this Honeybee stuff that everyone goes on about? :cheers

Whats it like, and does it compare to anything? Is it a spirit?

Hi Julian yes its Indian Brandy.
It doesnt taste like our brandy IMO. Its more like Morgans Spiced and the other day someone said to me it reminds them of Canadian Club.
Give it a try, I am sure you will enjoy it :cheers

I might just do that.... do you mix it or drink it neat?

We drink it neat but it is nice mixed with the Goan Port.

mixed with goan port... :) ,i was going to say coke...i bet honeybee and port is a pretty lethal combo.it is a very nice drink tho,the basis of a shiva cocktail me thinks..for those who dont know..shiva is a coffee or choc milky cocktail ,seems it had become a ritual to have one of these whilst seated outside a beach shack..all freshly showered and clean clothed after a hard day sunbaking etc.sipping contentedly in anticipation of the wonderful imminent sunset and the only thing to think about is where to have dinner!
you can tell im ready for my holiday!

I will definately try that cocktail it sounds really nice. The Goan port and brandy is quite lethal but very nice to finish your meal off with.

I usually have honeybee with sprite and sometimes diet coke and occassionally with ice!!
I like the other suggestions tho, might have to try those out! If I get a hangover then youre getting blamed Brenliz :rofl :cheers

Gemma I'm pretty sure you can get it in Ruffles, they seem to stock a lot of branded spirits.

I've just brought some honybee home and on the bottle it says 75% proof :yikes can this be so

Hi Debi

Yes it could be, because normally it states by volume and I think Honeybee is about 42%. It used to say by proof over here on a bottle of spirits but now it's by volume.

oh yes now I see it is 42.8%vol 75 proof it is still very strong :D My OH was seeing things after one too many one night (all filmed and used in evidence) :rofl

Hi,
Is it 'safe' to take ice in the drinks?
Saggy

Yes Saggy ice is fine in Goa. I think most make it from bottled water. I for one have never had any problems.
