I have tasted the worst drink in Christendom. Can you top this?

[Iamthewombat]

Category, as Ru Paul would say, is alcoholic drinks aimed at women.

I bought a bottle of Malibu Strawberry Spritz at Morrison’s last week. I like Malibu (don’t judge me) and strawberries and fizzy things.

I opened it last night. Christ, it was awful. Tasted like a weird blend of kids’ medicine and saturated sugar syrup. Not sure how you can make something like this taste un-fruity. And it was virulent pink.

Down the sink it went, even the plughole seemed to be resisting it by vomiting up the pink foam.

I can’t imagine anything worse but maybe you know differently.

YABU = yes, there are worse alcoholic drinks aimed at the ladies and I’m going to give you details.

YANBU = no, nothing sounds worse than Malibu Strawberry Spritz.

@averythinline

we are obviously strange as like rootbeer and chinnotto - my ds was the only person that drank it in our local italian as well! am thinking should try the beverley...and the kinnie whch sounds similar absinthe - ok wouldnt do it again - but I like aniseed so it was ok to drink jagermieister - oh the headache - but was convinced to try it as already pissed as apparantly it stops hangovers because of the herbs (no is the answer)

redwine and coke is a teens/young person drink in spain....calimocho wouldnt drink it though..

I dont like sweet drinks so most of these are a no go...although i did drink baileys and brandy with my baileys mad friend (when younger)

worst drink= butter tea - nepalese/tibetan meal .. had read about in books etc was horrific and I had to be polite and finish my cup (very slowly) - did mean I avoided the butterbeer though..

alcoholic - fruity cider - konisberg?? was so sweet and 1 gave me stinking headache...and I like cider!

averythinline - Brandy and Baileys I was introduced to, again, I'm sure by younger colleagues in another company - it gets you drunk quicker ad they taste almost the same - they said - not sure on either count but it wasn't the worst drink in the world.

Jagerbombs/jagermeister - why? just why?!

@Marshmallow91

A bottle of coconut water with aloe vera from tesco. Sounded nice but it had big lumpy slimy bits of aloe vera in that I really wasn't expecting, and as soon as the vomit-style mix touched my throat I spat it back out (thankfully I was standing next to the kitchen sink!)

never tried the delights of coconut water with aloe vera but did try coconut water (had a health mad friend who loved it) and was almost sick on the spot. I'll stay unhealthy thanks.

I love Jaeger it’s tasty

I used to have a friend who's favourite drink was Malibu and milk

Is it like a Poundland White Russian?

Speaking of which, dear old Schweppes Russchian is still very much available. It’s usually on the bottom shelf, hidden away below the sexy mixers like bitter lemon.

Nobody will beat this.

[quote Figmentofimagination]@CleverCatty. You've jogged a memory there. At my Student Union that was known as a Snakebite and Black. Hideous stuff. [/quote]
aha - there you go - these were my little brother's friends and him - so I wisely avoided them - cider or whatever it was and Guinness? no wonder they got raging drunk...

I see @Branches1 beat me to it!

Just to say - I've been to Bath many times - have relatives there and have never 'tasted the waters' so can't comment.

But the one time I went to Tumbridge Wells and we went to visit the Chaleybeate spring I think it is - a lady is dressed up in a white gown and cap and gives it to you to drink, for a fee, for some reason it was winter and closed - not sure if it just wasn't open then and next time we went we didn't have time. Sounds like I didn't miss much

I have vague memories of being offered something in tiny glasses in a Slovenian restaurant, after the meal?

It was like licking the inside of someone's wardrobe, complete with mothballs. No idea what it was, or whether my vague memory of it is because it killed most of my brain cells on the way down.

Nobody will beat this.

The mighty Unicum continues to sweep all before it. I thought the picture was going to be of that fabulously expensive Mozart chocolate liqueur stuff in the gold bottle that you only ever see in foreign duty free shops. The bottles are the same shape. Imagine the disappointment if you ended up with a Hungarian herbal abomination!

Not alcoholic but in amsterdam I ordered a glass of iced tea. Can’t remember what flavour, but I quite like lemon or peach iced tea so probably one of those. It wasn’t iced... on a day where it was pushing 30 degrees, So it was tea. FIZZY TEA. Hot, lukewarm or iced, tea should not be fizzy. I managed about three sips before I gave in and ordered a Diet Coke.

Pina colada from a can , could have been a malibu cocktail , neither me or my daughter could drink it

I hope Unicum isn't what I think comes from a male unicorn. Is it rainbow coloured ?

Belgian endive liqueur (yes, it exists!).

And they say that Belgians are boring! Why would you make a drink out of endives WHY WHY.

Pina colada from a can , could have been a malibu cocktail , neither me or my daughter could drink it

Yes, I’ve tried that too in a 3 cans for £4 misadventure and it is unspeakable but trust me, the Malibu strawberry spritz is on another level.

@Branches1 i came on to say Unicum too. Absolutely vile and an unfortunate name too. I did taste that Latvian balsam but it mustn't have been as bad.

Accidentally drank a mouthful of rancid coconut water, straight from the coconut.

It was the most horrific thing I have ever tasted.

Ah OP Schweppes Ruschian. You've released a memory. What the fuck is that abomination about. It is pink. Looks like it should be maybe a grapefruit taste, instead it is like someone put fizz on silage effluent. Rotten! The non alcoholic version of unicum🤣

Cornish tap water is lovely!

@Belfastian add Taboo to it and it’s great 🤣

Aperol and Prosecco... I was fooled by a promo in Tesco... absolutely vile and had the worst hangover after drinking half a glass

@WildRosie

I hope Unicum isn't what I think comes from a male unicorn. Is it rainbow coloured ?

🤣🤣🤣

To be honest, it would probably taste better if it was!

I've lived in Italy for years, and I've never heard of Beverley. According to Wiki it was invented by Coca Cola for the Italian market, and discontinued 10 years ago.

Another vote here for Tibetan yak butter tea.

And for anyone who's interested, "unicum" is Latin for "unique". No unicorns involved, sadly.

Butterbeer from Harry Potter world - truly revolting- especially how they poured the drink then added the beer 'foam' separately. Absolutely vomit worthy!!!!

@contrmary

Ginger beer.

Love ginger beer! Particularly the alcoholic stuff
