Method

Drink (1 can)

1

Chill and prepare

Ensure the can of Irn-Bru has been chilled in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours. If you prefer a very cold drink, place the can in the freezer for 15–20 minutes but do not forget it (can may burst if left too long). Gather ice, a lemon wedge, mint and a straw if using.

2

Open and pour

Hold the chilled can upright and open it carefully. If drinking straight from the can, simply enjoy. To serve in a glass, add 4 ice cubes to a tall glass and gently pour the Irn-Bru over the ice to preserve carbonation.

3

Garnish and serve

Optional: squeeze the lemon wedge lightly over the surface and drop it into the glass for a zesty note. Slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and tuck it into the glass as a garnish. Insert the straw if desired and serve immediately to enjoy the drink fizzy and cold.

Tall glass variation

4

Prepare glass

Fill a tall glass with 6–8 ice cubes or about 1/2 cup crushed ice if you prefer a slushy texture. Chill the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand for an extra-cold presentation.

5

Pour carefully

Slowly pour 12 fl oz (one standard can equivalent) of chilled Irn-Bru into the prepared glass over the ice. Pour down the side of the glass to reduce foam and preserve carbonation. Leave a small head of foam if you like.

6

Finish and enjoy

Garnish with a lemon wheel on the rim and scatter the mint leaves on top or tuck them down the side. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy while still fizzy.
