Bottoms up, mine’s a Mark Mocktail!

A BAR in Wales has created a signature drink in honour of First Minister Mark Drakeford, who has taken the popular step of banning the sale of alcohol in pubs.

The Three Eagles in Llangollen describes The Drakeford mocktail – a pint of water topped with some berries – as ‘Welsh, Wet and Uninspiring’.

Despite the hardline approach, measured on death certificates, Wales’s Covid death rate per 100,000 people is higher than England’s.

At least Drakeford can still seek shelter at the Three Eagles – after being banned from 100 other pubs across Wales.
