the worse drink idea was me and some friends decided to mix t-bird anf koolaid…yeah that went aout as well as expected…
I’ve done chocolate milk and vodka before. Wouldn’t recommend. FWIW, vodka and gatorade isn’t a bad combo.
What is good is mixing fireball whiskey with hard cider. Thats a decent alcoholic beverage.
I recall trying Pepsi (really Coke) and milk when I was a teenager, inspired by Laverne and Shirley. I didn’t really like it, but it wasn’t horrible. At the time I really liked Coke floats. Milk and Coke was not too far removed from that, just not as sweet or as much fun to eat/drink.
Most of the other entries on that list sound pretty awful. But Diet Coke and vodka isn’t too crazy. I’ve had regular Coke and vodka a few times, and it’s OK if your goal is to get vodka into your system relatively enjoyably. I imagine Diet Coke and vodka is about the same once you get past Diet Coke’s signature kerosene flavor.
When I was in my 20s, one of my go-to drinks was a Corona mixed with a couple shots of Jim Beam and a wedge of lime. It tasted like iced tea and cirrhosis.
I’ve heard of mixing Coke and red wine before. I haven’t tried it but I’d be willing to.
7-Up and milk was once recommended as a way to get children to drink their milk.
This link also has the bloggers testing a recipe for a molded gelatin salad made with 7-Up and applesauce. TL : DR - it didn’t set up very well and had a weird texture, but it didn’t taste bad.
erm my worst drink idea
My wife has a book by retired White House pastry chef Roland Mesnier in which he talks about Bill Clinton’s favorite dessert, Coke jello (IIRC). Mesnier thought it was an abomination but made it nonetheless.
Cherry jello made with coke is the bomb. Don’t knock it til you try it.
ETA maybe it’s a Arkansas thang!
I drink Coke with orange juice all the time. It’s a great mixture of sweet and acidic - the sugar and citric acid combine to give it a real bite.
Beer and Sprite is just shandy, which was pretty popular when I was younger, especially among lightweights.
A guy I used to know liked beer with tomato juice. I think that is/was a popular combination in Nebraska.
Isn’t that one way to make a Black Cow (adult version)?
I used to that, but with diet coke. Looks awful, tastes great. Since my wife asked me to stop drinking aspartame- sweetened drinks, it’s off the menu. I don’t take drinks with added sugar.
That’s a very popular drink, no? It’s called a red eye.
It does look horrific, doesn’t it? Especially with pulpy orange juice. I like freaking people out with it in public.
I like vanilla soy milk, vodka, kaluha, and a splash of Tia Maria. On ice. Mmmmmmm.
Delicious, it’s called kalimotxo. I first heard about it here, maybe from Mr Dibble?
Red Eye, Chelada, etc. A good late night or early morning during. I use a lager or Pilsner.
Huh. I didn’t realize beer and tomato juice was that common. Now that you both mention it, I do seem to recall the guy calling it a Red Eye.
Back when I had to make due with what was on hand, I tried chocolate milk and Kahlua. Not too terrible.
I also tried whiskey and lemonade, would not try it again.
Popular in the Plains states and in the Canadian interior; I learned it from my St Louis brother-in-law. Also known simply as Red Beer. It’s remarkably good and very refreshing in dead summer.
It’s better if you use good beer, but stick with pilseners or lagers, nothing flavored too strongly. And it improves if you substitute V-8, but it’s absolutely peak with Clamato.
Yes! Coke, cherry jell-o, sugar and cherry pie filling. It’s amazing!
It’s a John Collins. Some people like them.
I prefer the more common Tom Collins: Juice of one lemon in a 12-16 oz tumbler, stir in a teaspoon of sugar until dissolved, lots of ice and 3 oz gin, stir again and fill glass with seltzer. Shove the lemon half-rind in there if you’re fancy.
