I detest Smirnoff Ice though...
Greef came about after we spent a large part of a trip to Amsterdam drinking gin & Fanta with a bloke we met called Steadroy (possibly not real name)

On returning, the pub had no Fanta, and somewhat stupidly the bar staff suggested Reef as a mixer before OJ (as it's orange). So Greef was born!

A bottle of Reef and a double gin in a pint glass slips down very easily and indeed doesn't taste very alcoholic. Far too easy to drink too much of. I haven't indulged for a while but it's become a traditional Christmas drink round these parts, so I expect I will do soon!

(2 years ago I spent until 7am Christmas day holding my mate's hair back as she puked out the Greef, then went to bed for about half an hour's sleep before being woken up by my parents' excited foster children. Nice.)
