And conversely, what’s the best mixed drink you’ve ever had served to you(either for visual effect of taste)?
I’m sure this has been done before, if it has…I apologize for not scouring the search engine.
Personally, the worst I’ve ever had would have to be what they called a two-sixty-two. It consisted of a shot each of Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey<Shiver down spinE>.
Couldn’t even attempt to finish it.
The best for effect would have to be a “Brain Hemmorhage”. I think it was a shot of peppermint schnapps and a shot of Cointreau(?).
Of course, I was pretty partial to the Waborita when I was in Cabo…
Oh, and this is my first official thread so try to be nice
WORST DRINK: The most horrible drink to be considered a
beverage and safely drunk is Khoona. It is drunk by Afghani tribesmen on their wedding night and consists of a small amount of still-warm, very recently attained bull semen. It is believed to be a potent aphrodisiac.
MOST OFFENSIVE COCKTAIL: This is available from a few select bars in New York. It contains tomato juice, a double shot of vodka, a spoonful of French mustard and a dash of lime. It is not mixed, but served with a tampon (unused) instead of a cocktail umbrella and is known as a ‘Cunt Pump’.
And no, I haven’t tried either one.
My best and worst would be all those long island ice teas that Ultress made me drink in Norfolk last summer, they must carry a germ or something because man did I get a flu bug
Although I am not a big fan of vodka, I was in a bar in Mexico and could not/did not want to waste the energy trying to translate the ingredients to a Manhatten. I went for simplicity. Vodka and lemon. All I got was a glass of salty lemon and no vodka. blech.
Worst: I had some “cocktail of the day” at a bar. It was a pink vodka drink that I could barely sip. Forgot the name.
Best (one of the): Raspberry Freeze Pop - I can’t remember the exact method of mixing, but it consisted of Raspberry liquore, Blue Curacao, Vodka, crushed ice, and sugar water.
Ugh. At a wedding brunch, along with bloody mary’s and mimosas was a concoction called “bull shots” Vodka and beef broth. In the morning. No one actually ordered one, so I don’t know if it was served on ice (gag), or warm (shudder).
I once made a suicide coctail with all the liquor in the house. Some of the things it contained were Coca Cola, Kahlua, Milk, Vodka, Orange Juice, Wine, Beer, etc. It was so foul. The foam on the coke turned hard. BLECH!
A friend and I once ordered something called a “Strawberry Shortcake” after seeing some other people in the bar with 'em. You know how that goes - you’ve had a few, someone at the next table orders something that for some reason looks good, and you say to the bartender “I want one of those.”
It was the most disgusting thing in existance. I’m not really sure what it was made of, but I’m guessing some sort of strawberry schnapps type stuff and cheap Irish Cream. It was thick and cloyingly sweet. Neither of us could choke it down.
Not really a mixed drink per se, but. Being from Calgary, the worst one that I know of is appropriately called a “Stampede Breakfast”.
Take:
1 raw egg (in the shell)
1 shot glass with honey smeared on the rim
2 oz tequila (in shot glass)
1 piece cooked bacon
Poke holes in either end of the raw egg and place it on the shot glass. The honey will seal around the edge of the egg and the glass. Proceed to suck the tequila through the raw egg and finish it off by eating the piece of bacon.
Yet another example of the craziness that invades Calgary durng the Stampede.
I don’t believe this qualifies as a proper drink, but my
freshman year at university, i was a party and the only alcohol left was gin. Now, with my high school experiences I was quite averse to drinking gin straight, so i reached for the only available soft drink … wait for it! … a&w’s cream soda. i could not drink gin for the next four years, need i say more?
Worst drink: A sort of cherry martini. I think that martinis are the most vile alcoholic beverage known to man, so maybe I’m prejudiced. My husband thinks that it’s the nectar of the gods. His favorite bartender made up the drink for him. Nasty.
Favorite drink: I was in a bar in Nice called Le Tam Tam with some friends on the Forth of July, bemoaning the fact that we wouldn’t see any fireworks. The bartender, overhearing this, brought me a drink, a divine drink that tasted of berries and rum and friut. It was incredibe. Into the top of the little wooden barrel it was served in, the waiter had stuck lit sparklers that popped and shot sparks across the table. In a delicious Irish brouge, he intoned “Therrrs yer foireworks.”
It is definitely Long Island Ice Tea, I love those things but man they’ll whip your butt. Just as CanadianSue. She had a royal bout with the porcelain god during our trip last July. I was the strong one.
In Tucson, there’s a bar called the Buffet (inappropriately IMO, as the only food they have are hot dogs in a crock pot) that serves a drink called “Buffalo Sweat”- it consists of crock pot juice, some hard liquor(s), and bar rag squeezings. Needless to say, its a birthday drink.
A few years ago I used to work as a bartender in a local hotel. One night two guys who were passing though stopped in for a drink. As it was a slow night I got talking to them, and ended up mixing a drink they called a “Penong Thong”. It consisyed of all the white sprits on hand, creme de menthe, topped up with milk and ice, served in a long glass.
A word of explanation. A “thong” in Australia usually refers to rubber footwear of the sandal variety (in Britain I think they’re called flip-flops. Penong is a small community at the edge of the Nullabor Plain, thropugh which passes the Eyre Highway. Near Penong is one of Australia’s most famous surf spots, Cactus Beach.
The Penong Thong was supposed to resemble the colour of a weathered rubber thong that had been left on the beach for a few years. Unfortunately, the taste was pretty similar too
While on holiday in Cuba I was talked into trying a “Campari” I hope that’s right) and orange juice. One sip and my head improded, my nipples fell off and my tongue slithered down my throat to my ass to get rid of the taste!
I’ve served barrels of this concoction to people who pay way too much for the priviledge. I swear I am not making this up.
Into a champange flute:
Dry Sherry (1/4 oz)
Rum (1/4 oz)
Peach Schnapps (1/4 oz)
Champagne, fill flute to 2/3 full.
Wink (dash)
Garnish with Mandarin Orange segment.
It’s a foul concoction that people consume by the barrel, usually right after the wedding ceremony. What a way to start an evening of heavy drinking, and a cruel thing to do to your friends.
By the way, don’t blame the bartender, I didn’t make it up. Nop,e that credit goes to one Martha Stewart, that’s why we can charge so much for it, and, I suspect why people really drink hordes of it. If they only knew what was in it. Yikes.
so try to be nice
