I was in Calais about 14 years ago and stupidly ordered, what, atleast to my 17 year old brain, sounded like a great idea for a cocktail. The TGV: Double measures of Tequila, Gin and Vodka in a tall glass. It was just about the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted. Didn’t stop my friends ordering a second round though. I reckon the world’s worst cocktail, should you wish to invent it here, has to have as an ingredient: [Picolax](http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100002076.html). Even just thinking about it makes me feel nauseas. ---

As one drink enthusiast to another, I must say with all honesty: You guys scare me. I have never had a disgusting cocktail before (never met one i didnt like? j/k), but I can make up a terrible cocktail off the top of my head though: **Sweaty Balkan Balls** 2 parts Ouzo 1 part Kahlua 1 part Vodka 1 part lemonade Put in microwave for 10 seconds and serve. God, I feel sick just thinking about it. ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Dude, that is so fuckin’ foul! :o /|\ Can the above work as a puking smilie?!

[blue drink](http://new.photos.yahoo.com/donegalbob/album/576460762318824818/photo/294928803179258913/90) Not sure what the hell this drink was but you can tell by the look on my face that it was nasty! This is my favorite picture of me. This was last year when we were in Playa Del Carmen. Mexican Fru-fru drinks should be avoided. 😃 3-3 1/2 weeks until we go back! ---

Junior year of college I built our 3 room dorm apartment (6 guys) a bar. We threw a bunch of parties. Towards the end of every party one of our friends would start an open call for “The Blood of Christ” (it was a Jesuit College). Pretty much it was a mix of all the leftover shit liquor we served to the people we didn’t know plus a few drops of red dye. I don’t remember anything after that. ---

The blue jock 6 oz blue gatorade 2 asprin 2 oz everclear disolove asprin in gatorade, add everclear for some reason, this seems to be either the dog that bit you, or the heir of the dog.

The Stuntman. Get Tequila, lime and salt. Throw the salt over your shoulder, squeeze the lime in your eyes, and drink the shot. This one is always a big hit at parties. ---

The ever-so-PC favorite among local dives: “3 Hicks and a Spic”. Equal parts Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker Black and Cuervo Gold. Nastiest thing I’ve ever ingested, and I’ve had straight Everclear and a double Gorilla Fart. ---

[QUOTE=Ludovic] This is the last time I’ll post this, I promise, but my standard entry for this is the **Death Ray** : 1 part OJ 1 part Mountain Dew 1 part Bombay Sapphire Only recommended if you need caffiene, want to get buzzed really quick, and don’t have the fortitude to chug down straight liquor. The nastiness of the Dew and OJ combo will almost mask the strength of the drink. On the plus side, it looks like a Death Ray: deep yellow that nearly shines through the glass. And if you serve it in a martini glass or with no alcohol it can be a 1920’s style death ray 🙂 [/QUOTE] I have to say, though, this one almost makes me cry, being such a waste of Bombay Sapphire!!! :eek: ---

[QUOTE=mazinger\_z] Most of these sounds downright disgusting. I was going to add anything involving Jager, but someone already beat me to it. I will volunteer any of the “Old Man” drinks, which inlcudes but is not limted to the following: american highball, harvey wallbanger, rob roy, godfather, **the manhattan** , rust nail, black russian, that’s all I can think about now. [/QUOTE] Bolding mine A well made manhattan is the best mixed drink I know of, but to each their own. I’d say a dirty martini is the worst for me. Olive juice and dry vermouth could be the nastiest combonation in the world. ---

I’m not sure if this qualifies as a cocktail, per se, but my SO and I were getting bombed with some friends on Bushmill’s and somebody got tired of making Irish Coffee (or maybe just impatient, hard to tell) and shot a huge blob of whipped cream into his mouth and washed it down with a slug of whiskey. Presto, the **Irish Blowjob** was born! It got real ugly real fast after that… SO used to mix white zinfandel from a box with peppermint schnapps–I made him stop that when I proved it made his dick die. The morning breath from that was pretty fuckin’ special, too. ---

My worst cocktail was developed one night in residence in first year when all we had left was vodka and cream soda and we didn’t want to be drinking the vodka straight. That didn’t sit in my stomach for too long. ---

Airman Doors, I was coming in to mention the Cement Mixer. Spung (in my neck of the woods, at least): tequila, Squirt and espresso.
