Given the context… Flaming Heart? Sheep Dip?

Kyle could have a Guinness and black (which is an abomination and if ordered in Dublin would ensure the whole pub laughed at you), or maybe a rum and coke.

Alternatively, if Kyle is trying to play the romantic they could share a jug of pimms.

Given the strong literary flavour of the story what about a “Dr Johnson’s Definitive” Ale from the Broughton Brewery as a tipple. You would be hard pressed to find a more alcohol/literary connection than a beer named after the greatest lexicographer of all time! Or perhaps they should simply have a pint of Deuchars IPA each in the manner of Rebus and his fellow investigative quaffers!

Don’t forget to grab a few Gravy Bones from the bar for Watson…

Kind regards,

DJ @ The Sheep Heid Inn

As for the cocktails, I’ve asked Watson to tweet a query to @Sheepheid (he’s not happy about helping to plan Aileen’s date with Kyle, but I’ve promised to take him to the park to chase sticks if he co-operates). They do have a supply of fruit-flavoured snuff behind the bar, which struck me as pretty exotic…

Does the Sheep’s Heid have a cocktail menu?
