Fancy A Greystonian…?

Aobha & Bella raise a glass…

s GG’s dear old mum always used to say, you don’t need fun to have alcohol.

But, of course, it definitely helps, and when it comes to cocktails, it’s pretty much impossible not to have some serious yuk-yuks.

Which is something Aobha and Bella down at Las Tapas have been indulging in all week, after finding out that they’ve been nominated for the Leinster final of the Irish Restaurant Awards for Best Cocktail Experience.

“Initially, we were just completely surprised,” says Aobha when we swung by on this rainy Saturday evening, “but then we thought, no, of course we’ve been nominated – our cocktails are great. Loads of people have told us that…”

Whilst also declaring that you’re their bestest mate in the whole wide wordled.

“Our most popular cocktail is actually The Greystonian,” offers Bella. “Which is made up of vodka, passion fruit, syrup and passion fruit purée, orange juice and pineapple juice…”

“And Prosecco!” interjects Aobha. “You can’t forget the Prosecco. It wouldn’t be a Greystonian without a shot of Prosecco…”

We’re guessing that a bona fide Greystonian should really have some tears mixed too. Could be tears of laughter, could be tears of anguish over the old harbour, but either way, there’s got to be tears.

“We’ll find out next week if we’re going ahead to the national finals,” says Bella, “which would be amazing.”

“Whatever the outcome,” deadpans Aobha, “we’ll definitely be raising a glass. Or two…”
