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.

root beer and ive heard about the beverly my dsis says its vile

i like malibu aswell op but plain one only

The worst thing I think I’ve ever drunk (and there’s a lot of competition, I was a student in the late 80s/early 90s so we made our own cocktails pre alcopops) was Fernet Branca.

I think it was supposed to be medicinal. Now I like medicinal flavoured things but omg this was foul.

A close second was a “cocktail” (I use the term loosely) called a BMW. Baileys, Malibu and whisky. Nicknamed Gorilla Snot as it sort of curdled.

(Not so) fun fact re Kinnie and Irn-Bru.

Malta and Scotland are the only countries in the world where a local soft drink outsells Coca-cola.

Make of that what you will.

ive heard the butter beer in florida is different to our one

Rose gin, now I love roses they are my favourite flower and I also like a good G&T but I can't understand why they would mix the two, it was like drinking perfume.

Sambuca is revolting with a capital R. Ditto most "shots". Also can't stand whiskey but that I know is just me, dp is probably secretly pleased I'm not drinking his £100 a bottle drink that tastes like mouthwash in my opinion! Ps I like the Malibu and strawberry drink!

Snake Bite/Snakey B. Whatever you want to call it. Lager, cider and blackcurrant. It was vile. I worked in my student union and constantly got covered up to my elbows in purple when working the nightclub shift.
And sometimes for that extra kick students would throw a shot of jaeger or sambuca in with it.

Another one saying SP Chinotto is vile - tastes like gone-off fruit, and not in a good kombucha way.

I don’t like sweet cocktails so to me most are disgusting, but as a kid I once drank a can of Sweat, some kind of sports drink - guess what it tasted just like?
Lest you think I was asking for it, I had wanted 100 Plus, which is delicious and refreshing, and got given that instead “because it’s the same”. No it fucking wasn’t.

On non alcoholic I cannot deal with red bull or Dr Pepper both of which I was a marketing consultant on the U.K. launch promotion, awkward, though thankfully we served champagne as well at the event and got rather drunk both times as was still acceptable at company events back then!

I am baffled and gobsmacked beyond being able to vote.

You parted with money for such a disgusting sounding concoction? Manufacturers think there is some sort of lady-gene that responds to these disgusting concoctions? That we will hoover up ANYTHING pink or rainbow coloured.

Have we all been possessed by evil unicorns?

Jägermeister. Sorry but it's disgusting. May as well drink cough medicine.

I love espresso martini's and I bought a bottle of ready mixed stuff from M&S it is disgusting and tastes like beefy coffee.

Mountain Dew is horrible as is Kool Aid.

Also whatever the hideous orange and pineapple squash was they used to serve at Primary school discos in the 90's.

I’m shocked and appalled Campri hasn’t already been mentioned

Campari rather!

I can't stand the smell of energy drink ,when one of my Dc lived here and on night shift she lived off Red bull or similar. The smell is just I've never tasted it.

I was coming on here to say Unicum and Riga Black Balsam but other folk have beat me to it.

I once also had whisky that had been finished in a Buckfast cask. It was unspeakably vile.

Last year I went on a work trip to San Francisco and the local team were taking us visitors out. I work in technology so, no surprise, I was the only woman there.

They took us to what has to be the worst bar I've ever been to...there were only two toilets, neither was a woman's. They sold a lot of different beers and looked aghast when I asked if there was an alternative, the only one, and possibly their only concession to the possibility of "ladies" visiting was a Tequila Sangria.

I don't normally struggle to drink alcohol but I only managed 2 in the whole evening. There's a reason why you have to gulp down tequila and it's not because it's missing a cheap red wine and lemonade mixer!

Aftershock.

You were meant to rinse it round your mouth before swallowing. Oh my goodness. I couldn’t feel my mouth the next day.

What’s this about the Cornish tap water?? Never noticed the taste being bad.

Bath Spa water, yuck, tastes of warm farts. But I had an awful virus that wouldn’t shift, no sense of smell or taste. Had a glass of Bath spa water, necked it as it tasted of nothing. I was cured of my virus days later, so it has magic healing properties.

I was just thinking of Campari, TheRealJeanLouise!

Have you let Chris Whitty know?

Taboo, Thunderbird 'wine', and a weird concoction made from tiny bits from several bottles of alcohol in my parents cupboard.

I’ve never tasted anything like it. It’s the Devil’s juice!!

Totally forgot about Fernet Branca, my dad loved that and used to order one as an after dinner drink, it smelled horrible!

Also quite liked UBoat, a Jaegermister shot dropped into a pint of lager

I just cannot stand Dr Pepper, we had a glue when I was a kid which smelled exaclty the same

I love Unicum, I go to Hungary quite a lot as I have friends out there. Bring a bottle home every time. Love it!

Mango Skal.
Mango flavoured carbonated milk.
Oh yeah fizzy mango milk sounds so delicious.

Suprise! It was rank.
