Smoothies have been recorded as far north as Drogheda. I had a few in Sorrento park last year - small fish but smoothies nonetheless. They are probably at this stage available from numerous Dublin venues if the some time was put in.

Pretty sure there was a report on this forum from an undisclosed north dublin mark, not 100% though, a search may throw it up.
