Blackpool hotel’s signature drink: The Jimmy Crickett

Famous Northern Irish entertainer Jimmy Cricket has had a drink named after him!

The Lyndene Hotel in Blackpool, where Jimmy has been performing regularly for a few years, has been selling the cocktail of midori, gin and lemonade.

Wow how lovely they named a drink after me! Thank you @LyndeneHotel A must for St Patrick’s Day Celebrations!

Midori is a liqueur with a fruity taste of melon and also the Japanese word for ‘green’.

The drink – called The Jimmy Crickett -was advertised by the Lyndene (see right) as its signature drink, priced at £4.90.

“Wow how lovely they named a drink after me! Thank you A must for St Patrick’s Day Celebrations!” said Jimmy on social media.

The 73-year-old veteran comedian  performs in two separate lounges on the same night, along with other artists, at the Lyndene.
