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.

@DizzyPigeon

Why would anyone get past the name Unicum and take the risk to drink it...

Is it just me?

Lol you probably have a similar mind to me

Ginger Beer? that's sacrilege!
I drink lots of it - delicious.

this is a good thread.
I used to like Aqua Libra back in the 70's/80's - but it was an acquired taste. I once bought a case, minus one bottle, at my sisters village fete, and left it at her house for when I was there. By the time I got halfway through the case, it had very definitely got past its sell by date and had gone off.
I insisted on drinking it to spite my sister, who thought within-date aqua libre was vile.
I saw it on sale again last year, but it tastes very different to the original version.

Dandylion and burdock is an abomination.

Seedlip nonalcoholic mouldy pea drink. Just why would you want to drink the dregs from your compost bin?

Cherry b and cider or cider and green ginger. I still feel a vomit rise in me when I remember the horror and it happened in 1976. 🤮

friend doesn't drink so when we were out out mid 80s she would be on the aqua libra classier than cola it isn't horrible but weird tasting.

Mouldy pea what 😳

Oh no it’s amazing! Was way better before it all went sugar free tho

The worst drink ever has to be Dragon Soop 🤢

Gordon's lemon gin.
So synthetic it tastes like how I'd imagine lemon Flash to taste.

@SophocIestheFox
Unfortunately salted fruit juices/iced fruit drinks are a normal Asian thing, not just a Bruneian delight (though as someone who grew up there, am amazed someone’s mentioned it!) Took DP & DS to M’sia where I had to frequently remind them to ask for their iced lime juices etc “without salt”. It’s actually a bit nice when it’s a TEENY bit of salt and lots of ice but warm mango sounds absolutely revolting!

I think the worst water I've sampled was at a spa, probably the pump room in Bath - again no surprise there, sulphurous warm water. I don't doubt its curative properties, it'd motivate you to get over what ailed you

I drank the water at the pump room, and it was ... interesting. The next morning, I had the biggest crap I've ever had in my life, I swear I must have lost half a stone.

@TheNavigator, I was going to mention an artichoke liquer that I was offered a sample of (I'll try anything once). It was like a cross between cough mixture and rocket fuel, with a weird earthy aftertaste. Vile.

I’ve just looked it up and I think you might have a contender there.

It is a curious website. It doesn’t tell you anything about what the stuff tastes like or what is in it. Instead the website majors on ‘warnings’ (don’t drink too much Dragon Soop, the caffeinated alcoholic beverage, especially when pregnant) and moaning about how they have had to decrease the ABV from 8% to 7.5% because of ‘draconian (surely dragonian) laws’!

Bloody Marys. Bloody Rank!

A well-made Bloody Mary is a delight. A small shake of celery salt and a tiny dash of very dry sherry really bring out the flavour. Stolichnaya is the best voddy for BMs imo.

Not only vile tasting, but sends teenagers loopy. Dragon Soop has it all. If only the Scottish youth drank Unicum or that black Latvian elixir.

Are you sure it was for drinking? Sounds like it's unblocking your sink 😱😫😂

@Iamthewombat total thread detail but if you like Malibu:

1 measure Baileys
1/2 measure of Malibu
Tall glass - lots of ice
Top up with Banana Milk
Squirty cream on top

It’s called a “Boy Meets Girl” from a cocktail bar I used to frequent

Back to the thread..........

*derail

Seconded @OhYouBadBadKitten the seedlip garden is an abomination. Such Emperor's new clothes.

No alcoholic or a choice but the wallpaper paste drink they used to make you have before a GTT when pregnant was the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.

Love the sound of a Boy Meets Girl!

Barley Wine.... jeez, vile
whisky, smells like trouble ahead but that is my experience

@Belfastian

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🤣

Ah, back in the 80s, I used to drink Southern Comfort and Ruschian. I would then be surprised and affronted to be asked my age, given that I was drinking such an obviously sophisticated drink .

I was a student from 1982-87 and I think those years were the true high watermark of dodgy cheap cocktails.

I drank something called Three Penis Rice Wine (Tezhi Sanbian Jiu) in Vietnam. It almost made me turn vegan.
