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.

@Ginfordinner

Root beer Irn Bru Whiskey

@ginfordinner what is wrong with you...irn bru is the drink of the gods!!! And cures a hangover!

I bought Unicum in Budapest just for the name. It’s vile!
Benedictine is pretty vicious stuff too

Midori Melon is gross.... just no 🤮

@Hangingover

I thought this was going to be about Cornish tap water which tastes like sick

Actually atm the Cornish tap water where I live is the foulest drink going.

It's chemically metallic taste. Not chloriney

Interestingly only from out kitchen sink. All other Cornish tap water is lovely

Has anyone said Génépi yet? My ex bought me back a bottle from a skiing trip, it was luminous green and had a bit of crystallised tree in it. Like drinking mouthwash

I had this on a ski trip as a digestive after fondue.... I had a lot of it. I was plagued by génépi/cheese dreams and waking hallucinations all night. Worst hangover ever. The botanicals include wormwood hence the hallucinations. I like the taste but never again.

I love kinnie - I buy it via Amazon as it reminds me of some great holidays in Malta

This thread is giving me a strong urge to buy a bottle of Unicum

Oh and with regard to cider, I can't drink it at all now, not since someone told me they put a sheep's head in the vat to speed up fermentation.

You know they were having you on, right?

@doctorhamster

Butterbeer at the Harry Potter studios in Watford. Absolutely rank. Even the kids wouldn't drink it.

The butterbeer ice cream is lovely though

I was going to say that my non Harry Potter fan husband thought he was actually getting beer so was extra disappointed!

What made it more offensive was the fact it was an absolute bloody rip off!!

Not necessarily the worst ever but i brought a bottle of this to my French (adult) class for our alcohol(ic) tasting evening.
It was an eau-de-vie made from rosehips called Gratte-Cul (scratch your arse). Bought it in Alsace.
Bone dry, 40 pct ABV and the class (almost) unanimously voted It the nastiest drink of the evening. I quite like it. 😳

My dh got drunk on vodka and Russchian once, proper both ends drunk, even the smell makes him green.
Me, it’s Dr Pepper. I’d die of thirst in the middle of the Sahara before I drank that muck.

Oh and Slivovitz. Our lodger in the 80s was Latvian and him mum gave him a bottle. Smelt like diarrhoea. Dh poured his down the sink And next morning I was in the verge of calling a plumber because I thought the drains had backed up.

@Leimarel

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

Whose penis was in there?

Intrigued

Malibu alone is enough to make me feel queasy...but with pink syrupy stuff, too? Christ, NO.

I once had a cocktail in Thailand, a Durian martini. It tasted like white spirits and smelly socks. I’m not exaggerating.

I still have a bottle of Pisco from Peru that we bought on honeymoon 15 years ago. I thought it was OK when we were there as part of a Pisco Sour cocktail but somehow wasn't quite the same in the UK

I mean the clue is in the name really. It tastes of piss.

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![/quote]
Glad to have it confirmed that it’s a thing, and it wasn’t just that the waiter had gobbed in it 🤣

I could have handled one or the other....warm juice? Ok, not as nice as chilled, but doeable. Juice with salt? I like salty things, and with ice, that’s getting on for being a margarita, so yeah, sure!

Warm and salty, slightly off tasting mango juice? No. It was like falling off a lilo into the sea into and landing face down in a big patch of fruit flavoured seaweed 🤢

Wasabi Gin

@Branches1

Here it is

Yes. I vote for Unicum too. It's indescribably awful.

Mince Pie Martini, got a bottle as a present and thought it’d be like dessert wine or something (from M&S so expected good things) OMG it was so gross I had to pour it away.

I once bought some Kendal Mint Cake liqueur. It was basically liquid Colgate.

Wasabi gin sounds grim - what possessed you?

We have had a small bottle of Unicum festering in the drinks cupboard and I can confirm it is disgusting. But it is nectar of the gods next to Cynar, which is, let me remind you, an artichoke liqueur.

All those nominating Unicum have clearly been spared Cynar. I recommend you ensure it remains that way.

I love Cherry Woo Woos but not the canned version I bought in Aldis. Yikes it was disgusting 🤮

I once bought some Kendal Mint Cake liqueur.

WHY

Stroh rum 80% by volume & absolutely fucking horrible.

I remember it from being a student - my boyfriend acquired some & we tried drinking it with coke which I thought made it worse but then I never did much like coke.

@Funkyslippers - I bought it and was sorely disappointed too!!
