I’ve had #9- the Radler before, and it’s actually a subset of the Shandy category, as **Alessan **points out, all of which are beer, and some sort of soda- typically citrus or ginger ale, and the beer is usually something light and refreshing.
One not on the list that I’ve heard of is that in Spain, gin and Coke isn’t uncommon. Maybe Nava can chime in on that?
Let’s see. Coffee and orange juice? Never quite did it like that, but a cafe I worked at in the mid-90s had a drink called the “Cafe Dante,” which was a cappucino with chocolate and orange in it. So the flavor combination is not that unusual to me.
Coke and wine, I’ve had in Slovenia. They called it “diesel” out there.
Beer and Sprite is just a shandy or radler. Nothing too odd about that. Now beer and Coke (the next item), I somehow have never done.
Going down the list… Jaeger and Mayo? What in the living hell? I don’t even want to know.
Bailey’s and lime juice – had something similar called a “bloody brain.” Basically add grenadine to it. You get limey, curdled Bailey’s. Hey, it was college. We did all sorts of stupid shots.
How is vodka and Diet Coke weird in any sense?
Vodka, Tabasco, and mayo? Who in the hell is coming up with using mayo for their alcoholic drinks?
When the Beatles were young, they famously enjoyed Scotch and Coke.
Gack.
The absolute worst combination I discovered as a freshman during new student week experimenting with his new found freedom and lack of parental oversight was mixing cream soda with gin. Kids, those flavors do not go together. I’ll go out on a limb and just say that cream soda really shouldn’t be used in any alcoholic drink (though I suppose you might be able to come up with something drinkable using rum or vodka. But absolute positively not gin.)
My only excuse is that we were left with a bottle of gin and a bottle of cream soda, and, at the time, I was not a straight gin drinker, so I needed to mix it with something.
Ya know, with a reasonably cheap and non-peaty Scotch like, say, Famous Grouse or even Glenlivet, that doesn’t sound particularly odd to me. I mean, whiskey Cokes are popular–this is just another version of it.
The very first slide was mixing orange juice and coffee. Sorry, but I had to quit right there!
Yeah, I know some Southerners like Jack and Coke. I don’t even like RUM and Coke. I spose I just dislike Coke, possibly because of my politics.
There’s a line in Neil Simon’s first play, Come Blow Your Horn, where the suave dude asks his greenhorn younger brother what he’ll have to drink, and gets the response “Scotch and ginger ale.”
Big Brother does a double take and says “Every bartender in the city must know about you.”
Radlers and Red Eyes, sure. Any of the rest - no way.
I regularly see Budweiser’s unholy concoction of tomato juice, clam juice and beer sold (as “Clamato Chelada”) in stores where I live. They advertise the hell out of it during the summer, too. It looks absolutely vile to me, but plenty of people seem to like it.
Hah. That actually doesn’t sound that bad, though I’m a Scotch and soda guy when it comes to cheap scotch I might get at a typical wedding or church event. If it’s Cutty Sark, I gotta cut it with something.
If you are drinking Cutty, what should be cut is your throat. It won’t hurt as bad.
Sounds revolting pre-mixed. But there’s that thing called the “Michelada,” a Mexican version of beer and tomato juice.
Yeah, I buy four-packs of tall cans of this. A little black pepper, maybe a shot on the side. Mmmmmmm.
ETA: I’ve posted pictures on my Craft Beer Group and it always starts a fight between the lovers and the haters.
I’m fond of an inexpensive Bourbon called Heaven Hill, supposedly the last independent distillery in Kentucky. I never put anything into it but seltzer. Occasional Old Fashioned, maybe.
Never was too crazy about Scotch whisky, even after a trip to Scotland where I tasted all over the country. It was an interesting learning experience, though.
Jagermiester and mayo…jeeze! How in the fuck do you even think that up?
And they call it “Smokers Cough”…
Back in the days when medical detox was hard to find and even harder to pay for, we used to use the combination of beer and orange soda to bring people down slowly. It was based off of a drink that was actually popular in Ireland, but in the US it became a sort of go-to for people helping desperate alcoholics. It had the combined virtues of being high in sugar, low enough - but not too low - in alcohol, and being nasty enough that nobody found it enjoyable.
Coke and coffee is basically Coca-Cola BlāK; as noted there, Coke Coffee is coming later this year.
I sometimes have orange juice and black coffee for breakfast, but I don’t mix them before I drink them. The same goes for Coke and black coffee. (And I don’t put sugar into my coffee unless I’m drinking it with cream or hot milk.)
I’ve had mixed milk and Pepsi; it tastes like a float after the vanilla ice cream melts.
Ever try mixing Southern Comfort with Kentucky bourbon or Tennessee sipping whiskey? It’s a Deep South twist on the Rusty Nail.
I once got blind drunk on Purple Passions (grape soda and scotch) at an SF convention. That was all they had left at the open bar by the time I got there.
OK, maybe I’m crazy, but that doesn’t really sound nasty at all. I mean, I’m not one for sweet drinks, but orange soda mixed with an American style light lager a la Bud or Miller sounds better to me than that same Bud or Miller alone.
