Hey DU: Most awful drink you've ever made? Give us the recipe!

[supernova]

Can be alchoholic or non.

I just made a gin and cranberry juice over ice that I don't think I'll try again. :P

I like them seperately. I like cranberry juice. I like gin. But not, I discovered tonight, in the same glass.

It tastes like new and improved Ny-Quil.

So, what's your awful drink?

[terrya]

1. Gin and orange juice does NOT make a good cocktail. Don't try this at home

[supernova]

4. Gin, I'm discovering

doesn't go with a whole heck of a lot. I like it, but gin just doesn't mix well.

[terrya]

5. I've discovered that tonic water is pretty much it.

[supernova]

8. Yes,

or citrus, good ole lemon and lime.

[eyesroll]

17. Gin and cola. Don't try that one, kiddies.

I was 16. We honestly had no idea what to mix it with. By the time we got to the gin and grapefruit juice, the most palatable (but still not great), it really didn't matter. I was hungover until 3 p.m. the next day.

Gin, vermouth, olive.
Gin, tonic, lime.

That's about it. I've been recently drinking Bombay Sapphire, rocks, olives, that's it.

[supernova]

18. Sapphire is in my glass right now

It's my favorite gin.

Gin + Grapefruit juice? :P

[terrya]

19. I'm getting queasy even before I would drink that. It could be worse.

It could be DIET cola and gin.

:-)

[Bertha Venation]

24. hi, terry!

:hi: :hug:

[terrya]

26. Hi, Bertha!

:hi:

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. Vodka and Mango juice...tasted like vomit

But vodka and Fresca rocks!

[supernova]

3. LOL! Eww. I'll have to try the v and fresca

I love Fresca. Is it me, or does Fresca taste A LOT better than it did in the 60s?

What vodka do you like?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. No I liked it then too

But I also LOVED TAB..and still do when I can find it.

I like Ketel One for vodka...smoooooooooth

[TOhioLiberal]

40. Have you ever tried...

Absolut vodka? That stuff is Smoooooooooooooth. Can't taste it; but after a few you find it has KICKED your ASS!

[LTR]

49. I find Skyy tastes just fine

Cheaper than Absolut.

[Dan-W]

43. When I run out of (Polar diet) tonic water,

Gin & Fresca will do.

-Dw

[jmowreader]

45. What is Diet Tonic Water?

Tonic water is carbonated water with quinine in it. It's got zero calories.

Have they invented a water with negative calories?

[Dan-W]

47. Next time you're grocery shopping.

Compare the labels of Schweppes Tonic Water to Schweppes Diet Tonic Water. Likewise, do the same with Canada Dry. POLAR is out of Worcester, MA, but it's the same deal. "Contains" a lot more than you thought.

-Dw

[trotsky]

6. Anything with Dr. Pepper.

I love Dr. Pepper. It's my favorite pop. But goddamn if it doesn't putrify when mixed with any alcohol.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. Actually I like DP with Captain Morgan's

[trotsky]

15. Hmmm...

if I liked the Captain I might give that a try. But I'm not too crazy about him.

[flamingyouth]

7. LOL - we tried gin & cranberry juice once too

:puke:Not going to repeat that mistake.

I'll have to think about it - I'm sure my husband has concocted some weird stuff over the years.

[supernova]

9. I'm about to give up the ghost on this

and pour it in the sink, though I hate to waste it.

I've got some orange seltzer and orange sour candies I was thinking of experimenting with next.

[Lisa]

20. save it in the fridge for a marinade!

Use it to braise chicken or something. (I actually mixed vodka, dried cranberries, and juniper berries once -- the chicken turned out fine.)

[supernova]

23. Hmmm. There's a thought

I didn't think of the marinade angle. :think:

OK, you talked me into it! :D

[flamingyouth]

28. That's a great idea

It would be very tasty!

[doni_georgia]

11. Never make a Black Russian with moonshine and Tia Maria

Don't ask . . .

[supernova]

13. Whoa 'shine + anything = TROUBLE!

Yes, I have. *Slingblade voice* Uuuuuhhhhuuuuuhhhhh.

edit: Were you trying to get a hangover?

[doni_georgia]

36. Well, started drinking the shit not knowing what it was

I was at my cousin's party and he was mixing the drinks (I could have kicked his ass when I found out what he was fixing me). I was young and stupid and trying to get drunk, and I succeeded! I was sick in bed for three days, and took two of those days for me to get all the feeling back in my limbs. Worse thing was that it was at my aunt's lake house and the WHOLE family was there, so I got drunk - really drunk - in front of ALL the relatives. That was 20 years ago, and the still haven't let me live it down. Funny thing is, 20 years later I can still taste the shit.

[Donkeyboy75]

14. Prairie chicken

Drop an egg yolk in a shot of tequila, then add five dashes of Tabasco sauce:

:puke:

By the way, vodka and cranberry is deeeee-lish.

[Dan-W]

44. I believe the vodka & cran is called a "sea breeze". n/t

[Mz Pip]

16. Bloody Stallions

This lovely concoction is vodka, sloe gin(makes it red) and whipped cream.

I came real close to getting in some serious trouble in college with this drink.

[supernova]

21. BLECH !

Alcohol + dairy = rotten, in my book. :P

[Bertha Venation]

22. I called mine Euthanasia

1. four fingers of anything 80+ proof

2. one dying tropical fish

3. remove instantly euthanised fish and discard

4. pour alcohol down the sink

[supernova]

25. Awww. Poor fishy.....

at least he was pickled.

[Bertha Venation]

27. well, he sure wasn't a herring

ba-dum pum!

I'm always sad when a fish dies. :cry:

[DAGDA56]

29. The result of a "Hairy Buffalo" party...

...this is a Hoosier thing I discovered while living there...you get a very large trash barrell and line it with a comparable plastic bag (lawn and leaf bags are ok, just make sure it is strong and leak proof) fill it half way with ice at 7:30, set it by the door, and invite as many friends as you can at 8:00...everybody brings their choice of alcohol and immediately dumps it in the trash barrell...beer, wine, liquors, it doesn't matter. stir with a canoe paddle or baseball bat and start scooping it into cups around 8:30. Depending on your friends, it may be remarkably good, or remarkably terrible...

[Briarius]

30. Don't remember what I was trying to make

but I mixed cheap vodka and baileys. I couldn't drink it and chew the curds, so I tossed it. Also, cheap tequila, cheap vodka and coke don't mix.

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. That one you have to drink immediately

before the curds set in.

And truthfully, one should never drink cheap anything - not just for the taste, but the cheap stuff also has a lot of impurities and other nasty things that will increaze the hangover. The good stuff doesn't have all that junk (as well as tastes better).

[2Sailsgirls]

31. Crazy College Kids

My Friends and I (in an attempt to stay up studying one night) mixed coffee and Diet Coke together. Even my friends, who happen to like coffee and Diet coke separately, thought that it tasted HORRIBLE! The caffeine in that drink didn't keep us up, the god awful taste did.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. I'm not even sure what it was...

I didn't mix it but my alcoholic college theater friend did. This boy could drink anything. He once got alcohol poisoning and blamed it not on the fact that he drank 27 beers (how a 150 lb boy did this is beyond me) but on the fact that on his 27th beer he switched from Heineken to Yuengling. Anyway, it probably consisted of Smirnoff Vodka, Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, some whiskey, something else, and most definitely mountain dew.

It was handed to me in a big plastic cup. I described it as, "This tastes like a Christmas tree." I don't know, but it made perfect sense. We wrote it down. I'm not even at that college anymore, but when I visit, that line still gets brought up.

[DS1]

33. I tried the Rodney Dangerfeld "Back to School" coffee mix once

It was ~very~ difficult to drink.

[JVS]

34. A friend and I were mixing drinks simultaneously

I was making a rum and coke, my friend a black Russian. After pouring the spirits into the glasses the phone rang and I went off to get it. I come back, and finish making my drink, take a sip and think "gee I don't taste any rum". My friend had accidentally taken my rum and added Kahlua. We decided that if there were Black Russians then using rum would make it a Black Puerto-Rican. My friend's judgement was that it was a terrible drink.

[hyphenate]

35. We called ours the "Gutterman"

Kahlua and Gatorade--lemon-lime. :D

[MichaelUK]

37. If you need to wake up at a party, try this

Shot of Rum/Vodka. 4 shots of fruit juice concentrate. 7-Up/Sparkling Lemonade. Leave a good inch at top of glass. Add sugar (2 TABLESPOONS - I mean table, not tea). Down in one before the froth goes everywhere.

Then peel yourself off the ceiling.

[Guy_Montag]

38. Baillie's & lime juice

the lime causes the cream in the Baillie's to curdle - add a splash of tomato juice just to make it look even more appetizing. It has a name, but I'll get banned for saying it.

[kmla]

41. Green Gatorade. Vodka. And alfalfa sprouts.

Called it "Swamp Water". Was for a college fraternity party (what a shock, huh?).

Tasted like it had dirt in it. I think that was because of the alfalfa sprouts.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

42. LimeAde and Sambuca - The Liquamade.

It was grade school and we were raiding the liquor cabinet

[kodi]

46. while drunk i mistook a planten for a banana & made a planten daiquiri

christ what a waste of rum.

it tasted like a potato daiquiri

[LTR]

48. A Daquerie, with vodka

We had no rum.

It was beyond horrible. :puke:

[Bunny]

50. A Pink Gin.

Gin + bitters served at room temp? That's what the recipe said! I swear to God! It does not get more disgusting than this! Trust bunny, I would not lie when it comes to gin!

[Logansquare]

51. Blackberry liquour and Squirt

I used to be a bartender and that was a request from a "regular"
