> [@Big Bad Voodoo Lou](#): > > Buffalo Sweat: a shot of tequila (for me, that’s gross already) topped off with Tabasco sauce. I’ve had this “Buffalo Sweat.” Totally nasty. But what’s worse is Bacardi 151 and Tabasco! They should just call it puke-comin’! Also, my roommate made up this drink - it’s called a Catalina Blaster. Tall glass, half full of Captain Morgan’s Rum and Coke and then a shot of 151 dopped into it. You down it like a shot (i.e. Jeiger and Red Bull). I’ve seen him drink seven of those in a row. Now that’s a champion drinker if I ever saw one. ---

I know them as: > > Pint glass filled 2/3 full of Guinness. > Shot glass filled halfway with a good Irish whiskey (Jameson’s or Bushmills) and topped off with Bailey’s Irish creme liqueur. > Drop the shot glass into the pint (don’t pour it; drop the entire glass down to the bottom) and CHUG CHUG CHUG as if your life depended on it.

On a recent trip to Cork, Ireland, I lost a bet to one of the lads I was staying with and he bought me a triple shot of straight Jameson as my penalty. Now that’s some harsh shit! On that same trip, another one of the lads bought me a triple shot of all three “After Shot” liquors. I thought I was going to die from that. I believe it comes in red blue and green. The three of them together created a putrid taste of black liquorish/cinnamon. I think they should rename that “After Taste” because that lingered in my mouth all night. ---

I can’t find it with a quick Google, but this thread reminds of that old Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes cartoon that was just reissued on DVD. It’s “Drip Along Daffy” where Sherriff Daffy and trusty side-kick Porky face off with Nasty Canasta (I love how Daffy calls Nasty “hombre” but pronounces the “h” and says it “homber”). At one point Nasty calls for the usual and gets a drink made with stuff, like, I dunno, Hydrogen bitters, Venom Juice and Old Panther. Nasty drinks it and it flips his hat. Porky has one (delivered by the bartender in a welding mask and with tongs) and seems okay at first. Then Daffy has one - I won’t even try to describe what happens, but both Daffy and Porky spend about a minute reacting to the drink… As for me - pretty much any tequila will do it. In Scotland I had this stuff called “Black Heart Rum” which was truly vile and disgusting… ---

I’m surprised no-one has mentioned Vodka-RedBull. It is unnaturally popular here amongst students here, nearly everywhere advertises it at special offer prices and it is also common to find people drinking double, and treble vodka redbull. It tastes like the devil’s own urine has been strained through a sweaty sock, with a slight hint of nail polish remover, due to the fact that only the cheapest vodka is usually used (I suspect even if it did come out of the Smirnoff bottle). Come to mention it, Red Bull is possibly the most horific mixer ever created, I once saw a bloke order Jamesons and Red Bull in our student bar, it was all I could do not to weep at him polluting this fine drink. Oh, and Tequila, but that is only because I have had very bad experiences with that stuff. ---

That would be Southern Comfort mixed with that most Irish of Irishness, the old Red Lemonade. Not that it’s particularly “nasty” per se, just that I’ve had some nasty experiences during and after consumption of said drink. Oh and Southern Comfort and Red Bull… ---

Aquavit. Is that how it’s spelled? Whatever: it tastes like paint thinner. In the same family, we have Peruvian Pisco (as distinguished from the Chilean variety, which is sweeter), which tastes like rocket fuel. But it’s _good_ rocket fuel. 🙂 ---

My worst drink ever was called a “Sneaky Pete”. It consisted of equal parts of MG 20/20 and cheap beer. Although it may not have tasted very good, it did have the ability to cause nuclear hangovers. ---

I believe it comes in red blue and green. The three of them together created a putrid taste of black liquorish/cinnamon. I think they should rename that “After Taste” because that lingered in my mouth all night. I actually really like the taste of red Aftershock, its kind of like cough medicine but with a slightly more spicy taste. It’s very similar to Jaeggermeister(sp?) or Bacardi Spice. Back to rank drinks, a while ago I went out with a couple of friends one of whom had no money. We cajoled our penniless chum to come out with us under promises of free beer, well after we had all had a few beers we decided to toy with him a bit, so, fuelled by recently watching ‘Only Fools and Horses’ I decided to get him a cocktail. It consisted of red WKD (a red alco-pop which is a bit like cherry aid which unfortunately they didn’t have) a shot of Baileys, a shot of Sambuca, a shot of Tia Maria and a shot of Wray & Nephews 80% (by volume) rum. That was some seriously rank stuff, it looked like curdled puke and tasted worse - fair play to him though he drank it all. ---

You’re looking for nasty drinks? Let me present [Cynar]([http://www.sicilianculture.com/bar/cynar](http://www.sicilianculture.com/bar/cynar) .htm). Jebus, this stuff is vile. It has the color and consistency of soy sauce but is made from artichoke leaves. It is guaranteed to bring any game of “Can You Drink This?” to a screeching halt. Btw, is there an alternate name for an “Irish Car Bomb?” I’m pretty sure that the barman at Ireland’s 32 would be less than thrilled by a request for this. ---

What, no one’s mentioned [kumiss](http://www.wordreference.com/english/definition.asp?en=kumiss) yet? I had a Mongolian friend who was attached to the stuff. I don’t think he knew it was ceremonial in nature. Yes, I sipped it. Awful can’t begin to describe it. ---

I’m not a big fan of alcohol, myself. But there some some drinks that instead of simply going “yuck,” out comes “urk. . blhh . . ugg . . . ewwwwwwwwww.” I hate cola. HATE it. Coke, Pepsi, nasty. Someone handed me a bottle of, er, Bacardi and Coke(?). Came in a bottle, pre-mixed. Sorry if I’m completely off track. Anyway, I gagged to hard I nearly puked. Had to un to the kitchen for some water. And continue drinking, because I thought I’d never get that taste out of my throat. On a side note, The Cody (who actually LIKES alcohol) turns 21 March 5th, and doesn’t have a picture ID. How’s that for shit? ---

> [@Big Bad Voodoo Lou](#): > > Drop the shot glass into the pint (don’t pour it; drop the entire glass down to the bottom) Around here, these are referred to as “depth charges”. I’ve had whiskey/beer depth charges before and, once, a Tia Maria/Guiness depth charge. ---

> [@RainGrowsBrite](#): > > In my local pub they call this the “bloody Brain” and also “An Abortion”… which, you can imagine, makes the drink even more disgusting as it goes down. So foul. I just had one of these! The bartender called it a “test tube baby” and it did indeed look like a bloody fetus. Didn’t taste bad at all, but the “fetus” part kind of catches in the back of your throat which it what makes it gross. ---

First off, thanks to everyone who solved the mystery of the Romanian Devil Juice as we called it. I came back to mention the flatliner, but someone beat me to it. The one I had was half a shot of tequila, a few drops of Tabasco, and half a shot of JD (I think. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention, except for trying to remember why I decided to drink the thing. And the whole night is a bit fuzzy in my recolection. I’m sure of the tequila and Tabasco though). Then I was going to mention Aftershock, but again someone beat me to it. The stuff’s not bad, unless there are say, three of you in a park with no glasses of any kind. It gets a bit overpoweringly cough-syrupy. Also, never, ever decide “This vodka is horrible. I need to mix it with something. Hey, look: a melted Otter Pop. I’ll use that!” ---
