To have dodgy 'gift' alcoholic beverages I don't ever want to drink?

[Mumcentreplus]

1 Bottle of 'Cask Wine' from Trinidad

1 bottle of 'Zivana' from Cyprus

both nasty..imo

Seems a waste...

What the hell should I do with the buggers??

Does anyone else have this sufferation?...wanna swap?

Oh I hate that. I have an uncle and aunt who always buy "novelty" alcohol as a present - usually sweet foul stuff with some fruit in it. I couldn't even tempt my friends who will drink ANYTHING to use it up. It went down the drain. Just buy me a bottle of decent gin or vodka or anything non-novelty please.

Open them. Pour contents down the drain. Rinse and recycle. Think about them no more.

..

SeaTrek is quite right - put down drain & recycle & forget about. Have had to do it myself.

Don't feel guilty - you have done the most environmentally friendly thing possible in the situation you have been landed with.

Are you being unreasonable to have them?

Well, if they were gifts how could you avoid it?

Or are you asking if you are being unreasonable to not drink them?

My nan had a tendency to give gifts that she'd won in raffles etc. I ended up with a large bottle of Advocaat (which I hate), and dad (who has coeliacs disease) got something he couldn't have drunk anyway.

Think both bottles are still sat in a cupboard at my parents house.

Next time you go to a house party take them and leave on a table. There's always somebody who will think "woohoo! free booze!"

I did this with a bottle of JD. I like whiskey but am a bit of a snob about bourbon.

Have you tasted them? They might surprise you...

Trilli..surely I should have drunk them or stylishly given them away by now! ..

monkey I like your style

I have tried both of them...and I'm a drinker..they are both nassty

Stylishly given them away? How does one stylishly give away dodgy booze?

You donate them to the next raffle or bottle tombola you come across. So then people like Kalokis nan can win them and pass them on.

Its tremendously environmentally friendly and raises money for charities!

Stylish giveaway number 1: 'ooh, we had this present for you for ages!!, when we went to Trinidad (lie)...hope you like 'Cask Wine' it's for special occassions over there'

Sylish giveaway number 2: 'DH told me you like to make cocktails (lie) and apparently 'Zivana' is used in Europe, we saw it and thought of you! (lies)

hmm Grimma I likey...

Its the gift that keeps on giving! Just think how much money one of those bottles could raise, how much unecessary overconsumption avoided, over the years as it travels around between summer fayres and distant relatives.

I agree with SeaTrek, alternatively if you are confident they are not postively poisonous, make them into a Punch? Mix, add lemonade, fruit, ice, Bobs your Uncle If they are already opened they will be going off, depending on the alcohol content. Given the time of year, any scope in that?

Positively
