Summer sizzlers: Hottest deals and products to be found while the weather is fine
Apple of our eye
Nothing says summer like an ice-cold glass of cider, and there’s a new kid on the block: Appleman’s. Developed by Heineken Ireland (the company also behind Orchard Thieves) Appleman’s has an ABV of 4.5% and is available on draught, in 500ml cans and 568ml and 500ml bottles. www.applemans.ie www.drinkaware.ie
Frankly, my dear...
Exciting news for caffeine fans, Frank and Honest are launching a new product range so you can have your favourite coffee first thing in the morning in your own kitchen, instead of having to leg to the nearest garage, tongue flapping out. So, there are options for the cafetiére, pods for the machine and freshly ground. Available only at SuperValu and Centra. www.frankandhonest.ie
There’s no place like home
One of the highlights of any good summer is a trip to the theatre. Cork Opera House has revealed that its musical theatre production for Summer 2018 will be The Wizard of Oz. Director Wayne Jordan is on board, as well as a host of talent, including the inimitable George Hanover as The Wicked Witch of the West. It kicks off on July 19 and tickets start at €20. www.corkoperahouse.ie/ Link hands, off we go...
