OK, I disclaim all responsibility for the title or content of this thread. porcupine made me do it, and I can’t refuse a request from a fellow spiny critter.
That said, here are some mixed drinks that should not be:
– Vodka, grape Kool-Aid, and beet juice.
– Wild Irish Rose and Coke.
– Bailey’s, Royal Dutch Advocaat, and orange liqueur, or anything else remotely acidic. (I tried this when I was dating a guy who ran a bar, and we were trying out different combinations of shots in an attempt to spice up the mixed drink menu. My own contribution to this effort was to make up Beatle-themed names for everything. After choking one of these down, I christened it “Yellow Matter Custard Dripping From A Dead Dog’s Eye.” Let it suffice to say that it did not appear on the menu.)
Are there any other particularly vile combinations out there?
Carrot cake!
I don’t know what is in it but it gets those little globby things in it like it should have pulp.
Not a bad drink except for the texture.
The Brain is another one.
My Navy ROTC suitemate in Russia came up with a lovely concoction, which he christened Chernobyl. It involved nasty cheapo Soviet vodka, blue curacao, and Soviet-made knockoff Tang. It was a terrifying share of radioactive green, but he drank it anyway.
He wasn’t from Russia, he was in Russia. Big difference (he was quite American, if somewhat of a nutcase; he was a comp sci/Russian major who had taught himself Farsi for fun. I hate to think what he’s up to these days). Plus I’m suire he got debriefed like crazy when he got back.
I knew a guy in college who hadn’t let stomach problems stop him from drinking. He’d mix milk of magnesia and vodka, and call it a Phillips Screwdriver.
A vegan friend of mine once mixed me up a vegan white russian (think vodka + soy milk) that remains to date the single most hurl-inducing drink ever. Even as my first drink of the evening, one good sip made me almost lose it.
