I don't think so. I think it was a pretty basic selection, coke lemonade etc

Okay, thanks. That's my dark n stormy idea knocked on the head then

What's dark and stormy (hopefully not the weather 🙉). Is it to mix with spiced rum? That's a good tasty mix

Dark rum (altho I'm not that fussy, any will do) and ginger beer and lime. Very tasty and easy to make.

There will be a caravan in CV East Quiet with a substantial stash 😉

Does anyone remember if the Co-op stocks ginger beer or not? It'd save me carting a load of mixer in. Or limes/lime juice, actually?

They sold mini cans of ginger ale last year but not ginger beer unfortunately.

Well, this certainly sounds like an invitation, haha 😆

Ginger ale might do?! Not sure what the diff is between the two?

I'll have to experiment on the Thurs during my wander.

Do they keep their mixers in the freezers?

From photos I've seen, looks unlikely. But there is ice you can buy, which sells out quickly.

Shame. I won't be able to enter the campervan park! 

I'll just stick to coke I guess and bring my own lime juice.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or buy a milkshake from Shakey Jakey and stick the rum in that. Tried and tested.

A milkshake was high on the agenda anyway, so pretty sure this going to be my breakfast full fat pick me up. Great idea.

Where would one find said Shakey Jakey?

Hi I'm at Download Festival which has a co-op. I'll try and make a note of prices, stock and report back 🙂

[William Mann]

They’ve started building the co-op

I'm like 90% sure they sold Schweppes Ginger Ale

Really baffled me that they didn't sell Tonic (like isn't Schweppes more known for Tonic?!)

So Gin & Ginger Ale is a beverage that we had, not out of choice... But you make do with what you get in a field 🙂 

Still doubt I'll bother bringing tonic as am on the coach.

Pink gin and ginger ale is a lovely mix.

I mean, as mixers go, tonic is up there as being a fairly popular one and quite versatile. Surprised it's not there either. Look like there's stacks and stacks of apple juice/orange juice cartoons. Can't be that many people having apple juice or OJ for breakfast or as mixers, right?!

Anyway, like you say, think it might be a case of saying fuck it and just drinking whatever I can get my hands on. I'll take rum and a bottle of lime juice and either pair it with coke, tonic (if available this year), ginger beer, Sprite, pineapple juice...

And if it's a decent rum, then I can just drink it neat during headliners so I don't have to keep nipping off.

Have you tried gin and apple juice? its not bad. Japple juice.

I love ginger beer but struggled to find any on site to go with my rum.

I guess some of the Carribbean food stalls could have it, I did eat from one but didn't buy any drinks.

No but there are a lot of actual children onsite.
