We were tired of the frou-frou drinks - and I wanted a REAL drink that our customers and fans would drink, one that screams Phillies for Philadelphia's favorite fuzzy friend - the Phillie Phanatic! A perfect combo that honors both the Phanatic and Philadelphia's most famous [and best!] Irish Pub."

Combine the liquors, then drop into the cider. Pheckin awesome!
