I was reading something on here the other day about retro alcoholic drinks. People were pining after Taboo.

Was looking at fancy gin in Morrison's last night. Saw Taboo. Thought I'd let you know.

This is me, letting you know.

I don't drink at all now but years ago I used to love Taboo. Tbh I didn't know it was hard to get.

Ooh I love a taboo and lemonade. That is retro, will pop by and pick some up for Christmas definitely not every weekend between now and then, nope

@anasnake that’s it! I was trying to work out the other drink the 9 year old me thought was SO CHIC and MUST BE DRUNK BY MODELS.

Wolfiefan · 10/11/2018 15:09

Just a hint. You’re supposed to add a mixer. Don’t knock back wine glasses full of it or you’ll end up crawling up the stairs, laughing hysterically and will likely feel pretty crap the next day. Blush
I was young. I blame my mum. She poured them. Grin

Im not sure i have tried Taboo , whats the one with a coffee flavoyr ?

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 10/11/2018 15:17

Tia Maria

Also chic in the 80s (in my world)

Anasnake · 10/11/2018 15:20

I used to drink Taboo and peach Concorde, thought I was the bees knees Grin

AamdC · 10/11/2018 15:22

I remembet getting drunk once on Archers once when i wss a student.

Bobbybobbins · 10/11/2018 15:23

What is Taboo? Feel I am missing out here 

Wolfiefan · 10/11/2018 15:25

Also used to mix Tia Maria with Baileys. Blush

UpstartCrow · 10/11/2018 15:26

You're telling me Tia Maria isnt chic? Blush

AamdC · 10/11/2018 15:26

Would that not be very creamy Wolfie? I

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 10/11/2018 15:29

If you’re under 40 @bobbybobbins this may explain your confusion

GVmama · 10/11/2018 15:31

Oh yuck, I drank a bottle of that when I was about 14 and passed out in a pile of my own sick. I can still smell it now Envy

UpstartCrow · 10/11/2018 15:34

Tia Maria is lush poured over Mackies ice cream. So is most alcohol to be fair.

Bobbybobbins · 10/11/2018 16:34

@PaulHollywoodsSexGut I am 39 so must be on the cusp of Taboo!

ChocolateTearDrops · 10/11/2018 17:00

Good lord, Taboo! Lovely refreshing drink, with lemonade and ice. Takes me right back to 1989. Grin

nottakingthisanymore · 10/11/2018 19:32

What was the one in double bottle-one half black and the other white? Does that makes sense?

PretendNothing · 10/11/2018 19:41

@nottakingthisanymore Sheridans, I think

GoodnightMooncup · 10/11/2018 19:45

When I was a teen the sophisticated drink was a malibu and orange Grin

soundsystem · 10/11/2018 19:47

Ooh. Don't Iceland sell it? Or a version of? (I'm under 40 but Scottish; that's relevant as it's a key ingredient in a Buckaroo)

soundsystem · 10/11/2018 19:49

Yep the black and white one that resembled an alcoholic car-cleaning product was indeed Sheridan's. I ran an off-licence for 3 years and sold not one bottle...
