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

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.

We never told Granny when we were coming to visit. If she was given notice, the sandwiches were made and left to sit on the side since morning. Stale hard sarnies, followed by flat cola and sticky humbugs, all bought about 2 years previously!

@DizzyPigeon

Was that Cinzano Bianco? (showing my age)
Cinzano Bianco was revolting. Martini Bianco much nicer.
DizzyPigeon · 12/10/2020 15:38

I wouldn't know, not tried either - but that would explain why Ddot isn't a fan!

CleverCatty · 12/10/2020 16:34

More nasty drinks from my youth - Sherry - bleurgh - drank it to be polite - how come it makes a trifle taste yummy - even masses of it?!

Advocaat - yuck - was almost sick after having one yet seem to recall having Snowballs and enjoying them at christmas.

Babycham - this always seemed 'glam' to me as a child/teen - so I drank it if I could - pear champagne though??!! I actually had a Wicked Lady cocktail which is brandy and babycham and seemed to recall liking those too!

Little Pony and Cherry B's I also recall having as a teenager but these were drinks (including the Wicked Lady) which my best friend's older sister introduced us to - she was a lot older than us but sometimes would take us out - dressed up, at 14 and initiate us with drinks! Christ I'd have a fit if any teen especially a DD did this now! Grin

Campari. Disgusting.

TurquoiseDragon · 13/10/2020 15:23

Cinzano Bianco was revolting. Martini Bianco much nicer.

Matini Dry even better. With a dash of lemonade, a slice of lemon and an olive. Grin

Ddot · 13/10/2020 16:39

Olives taste like Germaline yuk! Is anyone old enough to remember 20 20 or cherry B ahhh those were the days

Ddot · 13/10/2020 16:42

I had black Russian made with Guinness instead of coke, wow now your talking

inappropriateraspberry · 13/10/2020 16:53

Ooh, I like a Cinnabon and tonic! Was allowed a VERY weak Cinnabon and lemonade at Christmas when I was young.

inappropriateraspberry · 13/10/2020 16:54

Cinzano not Cinnabon! That would be gross!

@DizzyPigeon

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

Is it just me?

@DizzyPigeon I have a mental image of unicorn jizz in a shot glass 🤣
nibdedibble · 13/10/2020 18:04

Oh god

In 2000 Unicom released ‘Millennicum Zwack’ and I received a bottle of this....this... stuff. We laughed at it for a few years then cleaned the drains with it Grin

IvysMum12 · 13/10/2020 18:22

Limoncello is very disgusting.

Ddot · 13/10/2020 18:53

Lemoncello sloe gin and jamaican ginger ale is great taste like candy floss

When I was a student we went to a vodka bar Which had over 100 types- we were all getting raspberry, mango etc and my friends decided to get garlic vodka. I love both bit together In a shot!! Absolutely putrid.

goose1964 · 13/10/2020 22:34

The trick to Bath water is to neck it. I'm originally from that area and have probably drank more than most people. That's a skill I used in Greece for raki. The most disgusting drink I've had recently was Gordon's pink gin, or it could be the overly sweet summer fruit trifle gin ?

TheGirlWhoLived · 14/10/2020 10:39

@Doggybiccys I used to live in Liverpool where there was an incredible Tequila bar... but some dodgy flavours Grin

Ddot · 15/10/2020 12:22

I can recall a food supplement given to me by the NHS it was hideous. It came in little bottles and with flavours of fruit and a kind of milky goo. I can only describe it as a bad cold in a bottle, once you started to drink, it hung together like egg white. Wow was it bad

DizzyPigeon · 15/10/2020 13:11

@DizzyPigeon I have a mental image of unicorn jizz in a shot glass 🤣

That's infinitely preferable to my vision that involves students...

Mrsjayy · 15/10/2020 13:15

Ddot that Wii be forsip I had it after a bowel operation which include d the aforementioned kleen prep Envy

Ddot · 15/10/2020 14:25

My friend shouted at me for not drinking those vile bottles of yuck. She informed me that just couldnt possible be that bad. I gave her one to try, oh jesus was her reply haha. I resorted to macadamia nuts to keep my weight up, much better

Mrsjayy · 15/10/2020 14:50

The nurse said to me ",it tastes like milkshake" it does not. Bleurgh

Soubriquet · 15/10/2020 14:55

I quite like fortisip...I was having them every day for months. I’m on a different brand now called fresubin which is pretty much the same thing only sweeter

Mrsjayy · 15/10/2020 14:59

I thought there was a weird undertaste to them like medicine had been slipped In
