Misc Drinks from Ireland

WKD

What is WKD? 
WKD comes in three irresistible variants consisting of Original Blue, Iron Brew, and Red – all very different, made from an alcoholic mix of deliciousness and WKD-ness. If we do say so ourselves, they're a little bit special.
Just remember, whatever your flavor, all WKDs are best served nice and chilled with a few mates.
