What's the most unusual tipple you've ever had?

I might be naive but we were out for a few drinks last night and my partner came back from the bar with his usual bottle of Bud, and for me he placed on the table an empty glass, a bottle of blue wkd and a glass of port - poured the blue wkd and the port into the empty glass and told me it was a cheeky vimto!

I couldnt beleive it - it tasted exactly like a glass of vimto!

Ok, so I may not get out much - but what is the most unusual alcoholic drink you have had?

I think this thread would have been better put on AFTER tonight's meet .
I will let you know after we have tried what moonshiner is bringing hehe

You dont want to try it Mick, some varieties of Absynth are banned in this country because they make you hallucinate!!!

I've had some strange drinks Blue WKD, Orange Reef & Orange Bacardi Breezer - tastes just like those little sweets, Refreshers.

There was one was called a Flaming Lambourghini, they used to sell in in Vodoo Lounge, thats in a martini glass with Sambucca in, and Kahlula round the egde of the glass. Then 2 seperate shot glasses, 1 with cream & 1 with Blue Bols. Then you light the Kahlula, stick your straw in and get someone else to pour in the cream and blue bols. Its nice but lethal (if you ever have one, tie you hair back!!!)

I don't think I will be trying moonshiner's drink after last weekend, cos I'm wearing the same shoes and had an unfortunate fall

...it was the shoes.. I think!!!

At college used to drink Green Monsters.

Snakebite with Blue Bols in.

Powerful stuff.

Only drawback was green stools for the next few days.

Aaahh - that explains the green 'eye stuff' you mentioned a few weeks ago - not too many peas after all

Thats a very popular drink round here ,,, but to me you might as well pay for a vimto...( i am tight me)
I love pernod ,lemonade and peach snhapps mixed together,, with a cherry and ice, "we call it a rat trap special, but i wont go into that",,,
you can ply me with anything except whiskey,, which is my hubbies tipple..
when we used to go on p&o, we got some fantastic concoctions....

When I lived in Saskatoon, I attended a Ukrainian wedding (they last three days) in the village of Wakaw. They served home brew (moonshine) cut with store bought vodka to lessen the kick, and added a little tabasco to mellow it out. Ouch, eh.

Moonshiner's absyinthe...as of tonight.
