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.

@SaucyHorse

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?

I've heard rat, or a piece of ham. FIL was once given some cloudy cider when he was visiting a West Country farm in the course of his work, and was told 'that be where the hens be shitting on the straw'

I tried a Green Cola the other day.....horrible watered down crap.

Never tried the Malibu strawberry thing but I cannot imagine having Malibu with anything other than real coco cola or pineapple juice. Maybe mango juice.

Talking of Bailey's and strawberry thjngs, Cornish Lust strawberry cream liqueur is lovely

The strawberries and cream Baileys is the most disgusting drink I’ve ever tasted. It went down the sink. Coconut water is also undrinkable to me.

Ouzo and coca cola. Don't ask. I was very young.

Rooibos tea - pretty vile I think.

Bacardi 151 - 75%ABV. Came with a flame retarder in the top. Shudderingly horrible.

Has anyone mentioned Pripsen yet?

This thread has been an education!

I came on to say

Aftershock

At age 17...Drambuie & milk. Gross, could not drink it after the first sip, some girls at a house party were drinking it and thought it was great.

There was a discussion about a lobster-flavoured gin on a group WeChat I am a member of the other day. So YABU

@PussGirl

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.

Oh my god, I remember this! One of my medic friends at uni brought some to a party. It was like liquid anaesthetic, one glass and I lost all feeling from the nose down 🤣

Waldmeister. I discovered it while living in Germany. It's made with woodruff syrup. Really weird green herbally stuff.

Also, in Germany they're obsessed with fizzy water. A lot of different flavours but also just carbonated water. Whenever I asked for a glass of water my neighbours would bring fizzy by default (nothing wrong with the tap water and tasted fine!)
I was in the hospital for five days at one point and they kept bringing jugs of carbonated. I really can't stand it and I had to take meds with it/stay hydrated so I kept gently asking for no bubbles, please. I think they thought I was a diva!

Forgot to add - DH tried a cocktail at his 25th birthday party/meal that had aniseed. He liked it, I thought it tasted like Bonjela. It was so weird we passed it round the table for everyone to taste!

An ex bf brought my dps are coconut liquor for Christmas it was grim and defo a reason why I dumped him. The look on dads face was like seriously you're dating a guy who thinks this was a good present

He also lost points for not wrapping the present in the first place

SophoclestheFox I know what you mean!

On the non-alcoholic front, I had a fizzy drink in India that was the sort of bright, luminous yellow you'd associate with a serious nuclear disaster and tasted of melted plastic. I can only assume that it was pure E numbers.

I have drunk many ill-advised alcoholic things in my life, but nothing tops Absinthe. I took a massive swig, realised to my horror that it tastes of aniseed, and spat it out into the only available receptacle - a fruit bowl. For reasons lost to the mists of time, someone threw a lit match in after it, and the friend whose house it was ended up with flambéd fruit. I was not popular.

What's that Turkish salty yoghurt drink called? Tastes like bull seamen.

@TheId

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.

Oh, I like pisco. We actually buy it from Sainsbury’s to make pisco sours at home.

I once got hammered on 'peppermint aeros', Crem de Menthe & milk. That was 25 years ago & I can still remember the pudrid smell & taste of the vomit. Never, ever again.

Oh no that aero cocktail

I echo the fermented mares’ milk. Oh god, the memory of it is too much.

Clamato juice

Not alcoholic, but the worst drink to pass my lips is that Weetabix on the go breakfast, in a bottle. It smells like baby sick. I swear it is still repeating on me 6 months on...

I quite like Babycham, especially the little champagne saucers you drink it from.

I think the worst "female" aimed drink I've had was a drumstick lolly cocktail. It was incredibly sweet, but also milk-based, and weirdly thick.

Worst overall was tsipouro made by some Greek boys on my university course. I'm amazed the name has stuck with me to be honest, because I think it was about 80% proof and tasted like burning rubber.

It was the slight fizzing that really got me.
