2. Guinness Punch
Either you love it or you hate it. We love it! Mixing the bitterness of Guinness with the sweetness of Condensed Milk and Nurishment, Guinness Punch is the cream of the crop. It’s rich, wholesome and very filling.

Jamaican Ginger Beer on the rocks is the ideal drink – kids love it too. Warning: if you’re serving very spicy food, drinking Jamaican Ginger Beer will only add to the burn. Think you can handle it? Go on, we dare you.
