Alcoholic Drink for a Sweet Tooth

55 replies

Badromancer · 15/11/2023 11:57

This may shock a lot of MN but I am yet to find an alcoholic drink that I actually like the taste of. I can't stomach Beers & Ciders, and Wines just don't taste nice (despite being on numerous wine tasting days and even a holiday!). The only Spirit I can tolerate is Vodka.

All I drink is any sweet, fruity Cocktail (Strawberry/Raspberry/Peach/Pineapple) cocktail with Vodka. Or a Vodka Soda with loads of lemon squeezed in or a Vodka fruit juice or with loads of lemon squeezed it. But I'm getting a bit fed up and wonder if I'm missing something. With Christmas coming up, I do like to get a bit merry and let my hair down occasionally.

Please recommend something for a very sweet tooth. I've tried many Sweet Wines but they genuinely don't taste sweet to me.

ps- I know it's ok to not like alcohol and it's not a necessity to drink. It's not peer pressure, it's just I wonder what else I can try on special occasions!

I like sweet drinks too.

For white wine, I like Riesling. And for a cocktail I like a Margarita that I make myself, fresh lime juice, agave or simple syrup, tequila and Grand Marnier or Cointreau.

I also like rum cocktails like mai tai or mojito (my all time favorite but hard to get a good one!)

I was also going to suggest Amarula, i like it much more than Bailey's. It's not stocked everywhere but I've found it in Sainsbury's in the past.
Tia Maria is also nice, and Amaretto liqueur.
The Lidl version of Bailey's has had some good reviews so I might try that.
