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.

Cynar - an artichoke liqueur my sister brought back from Turkey.

I thought this was going to win the thread until I read about the fermented horse milk in a goat skin bag. Even the artichokes and Unicum can’t compete with that.

Enjoyed the reference to strawberry Concorde. I liked that too. Sadly Malibu strawberry spritz tastes nothing like it.

Finally: PARMA VIOLET LAMBRINI. What devilry is this? It defies the basic premise of lambrini, which is to taste like cheap lemonade and get you drunk speedily and economically.

Bloody Marys. Bloody Rank!

DS2 loves the Coke Freestyle machines and mixes the foulest drinks ever. He made me write down the mixture for one. He calls it The Power of Lemonte Coke. It tastes like curdled drain cleaner.

There was a bottle of virulent red liquid. The bottle was unlabelled, made of clear glass and it was a sort of Christmas tree shape. We weren't sure if the liquid was to drink or put in the bath.

I wonder if it was from that weird Vom Fass concession that Selfridges used to have in the Trafford centre. Dreadful liqueurs of every hue decanted into novelty bottles, ambitiously priced and well named (vom).

Obviously not alcohol but 7up sugar free cherry is beyond words.

Yes @VeggieSausageRoll I came on to say Balsam. I liken it to black bile! Mine got tipped down the sink a long time ago but I kept the bottle. It's the best thing about it.

What passed for cola in the former East Germany was utterly vile. like drinking rank brown U bend water.

Strawberry Baileys. I love cream and strawberries and all that, but this tasted like synthetic strawberry flavouring that had been left to go off and then mixed with a carton of fake cream - like that Elmlea stuff,

One of the reasons I've cheerfully given up drinking now.

I actually loved this but it had to be on ice. Didn't buy any this year but last kept seeing it on offer so bought a few. Now I know why.

I once had a cocktail that tasted like spicy mouthwash. It had something minty (no idea what) and cinnamon vodka. So rank couldn't even neck it!

Also had a bubblegum daiquiri but the person making it obviously had no idea what they were doing as I watched her top half the glass up with pure lemon juice.

I was once given some cannabis flavoured Absynth as a Christmas Present it smelled like jet fuel and as tasted as I imagine poison would!

Lidl's own brand orange squash is also disgusting - tastes like battery acid

milky drinks shouldn't be fizzy. My Mum used to give us soda water mixed with milk when we were sick-it didn't help!

I'll drink most abominations in December but Aldis gin based spiced baileys was a bridge too far. Fkin awful.

I couldn't give it away, and I have students in my family.

I once went to an Italian restaurant and ordered a white wine spritzer, the waiter was not English and asked "Wine?" looking confused. I assumed he didn't quite hear me properly and all was well. I happily clarified "Yes, white please"

Well... he came back with an Aperol spritzer with white wine in it. Possibly the most vile thing I've ever tasted as just drank it, too embarrassed to send it back. I think Aperol is disgusting anyway but somehow wine made it worse.

Unicum 

Absinthe. Had heard about it and always wanted to try it. By chance me and DH were in a fabulous shop in Clitheroe, Lancs that was like an Aladdin's cave of alcohol. I spotted a bottle of Absinthe and a member of staff opened it and let us try some. It nearly blew our heads off. The rest of the staff decided to try it too. It was fun watching their reactions.

@Ski413o. I totally agree about Aperol. I used to love an orange liqueur they sold in the Canaries (it came in an orange-shaped bottle) and I thought Aperol would be similar. Bleeurgh!

Without doubt the vilest thing I've ever tasted that other people drink for pleasure.

Another vote for Beverly! Absolutely disgusting, but great fun for tricking unsuspecting family members into trying!

Absolutely Unicom. You taste at at first and think yeuuch! But the after taste lingers on and on and on.

I’d rather have a shot of ActualCum.

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

The butterbeer ice cream is lovely though

YES !!!! Even my dd who will eat and drink any horrible sweet / flavoured / chemical junk she can get her paws on, AND it was Harry Potter stuff so extra COOOOL could not stomach it. Disgusting and £££££

We used to try to find the most weird drink in duty free to bring back for our neighbour - liquor with gold bits floating in it, funny shaped bottles, all sorts. He seemed quite happy to drink all of them and particularly took to Jagermeister. Dreadful stuff like horse liniment.

Sorry I realise @Branches1 beat me to it.

Jägermeister - tastes like my herb cupboard
