Who says cocktails need to be all serious and stirred? Sometimes the best drinks come with a popcorn rim, a splash of cream, and a full-blown identity crisis - in the most delicious way possible.
Enter Real McCoy’s latest line-up: part cocktail, part dessert, all chaos.
Think banoffee pie in a glass, a margarita that’s gone to the movies, and a frozen daiquiri with popcorn on top (because why the hell not).
These aren't your usual Friday night drinks - they’re creamy, crunchy, bold and borderline outrageous. And that’s exactly the point.
Real McCoy has thrown the rulebook out the window and poured fun straight into the shaker. Whether you're hosting a party, treating yourself, or just in the mood to sip something that makes you grin these over-the-top creations are made to be shown off - and maybe shared, if you're feeling generous.
