Do you like Campari?

What are some other alcoholic drinks most of the people will find extremely unpleasant and hard to drink?
>>
Campari is delicious.

Uhh...
Malort comes to mind as does anything in the wormwood and anise families like ouzo, raki, pastis, and absinthe.

Campari has nothing on Malort. Some people find Fernet unpleasant, but I love it.

Campari, Martini, Cinzano, and Vermut of Reus (Spain)

Its like drinking red coloured bleach

Scotch or whiskey.

I remember this stuff being pretty rank, but maybe I just got a shit batch. Apparently people drink it half and half with Guinness, but I don't think that would have helped.

Lauria Alpine Cream is a sweet, tasty blend of cream and pear liqueur, with the texture of vomit. Sometimes there are large chunks of pear in it.

Some asian spirits are pretty rank for the inexperienced.

Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper.

It's Souther Comfort blended with Tabasco sauce.

Yes. It was a thing. I don't know if they still make it, but I still have a bottle that my friend bought me as a joke.

Surprisingly, it's actually pretty good in Coke for some reason.

Suze, same bitterness from that root as campari with herbals and a but of spice

Try making a Negroni without it.

Can confirm. It's even worse than everclear.

Fucking Mezcal.
>>
>>7661457

never had but i doubt it could be much worse than bacardi 151? that shit is impossible to hide in any kind of mix and just brings back memories of alcohol poisoning and shitting your pants.
>>
>>7661859
This. I can use it in a few things to add a little smokiness, but beyond that,must gross as fuck.

Worst thing is I was given two massive bottles of the stuff and I never use more than maybe 10-15 mls at a time. I'm gonna be stuck with this shit for decades.
>>
>>7661824

Suze is great, an not that bitter.
>>
>>7661881
Man, I've done shots of that stuff and it's one of the few things that will actually make me vomit.

College: never again.
>>
>>7661445
People don't like campari? Never knew.

A buddy of mine has been trying to get me into scotch for years, but to this day all I taste is iodine. Asian alcohol is generally dogshit, save for plum wine.
>>
>>7661864
Fucking Bacardi 151...

You ever been to Vegas? They got those fucking Fat Tuesday places everywhere there, they sell various flavors of frozen drinks (margaritas and the like). Any rate, anything that has rum in it they use 151 in. They'll also sell you an extra shot in your drink for a buck.

I got the smallest size with the extra shot (because I'm a bartending guy and I know that shot is gonna cost me at least 5.00 anywhere else, so I can't say no to a 1.00 shot). There had to have been at least 4 or 5 ounces of goddamn 151 in my drink.

Vegas does not give a fuck.
>>
>>7661952

never been. want to go. won't get the 151 fuck that shit ever again unless i need to start a fire.
>>
>>7661984
Avoid Fat Tuesdays, then. Their hurricanes taste like burning.
>>
>>7661463
Don't understand how one can not like Martini or Cinzano, they are absolutely delicious in my opinion
>>7661497
>>7661732
>>7661824
I was planning on trying Fernet, as well as Cynar and Suze, and I will.
>>7661850
Also don't understand how can one not like Everclear if it is pure alcohol. Of course drinking it straight would be painful, but if diluted with water or something else it should turn to vodka, how can it possibly be worse than vodka?
>>7661919
I made several people try Campari and none liked it, most of them couldn't finish a shot. I personally like scotch, Islay types are indeed iodine but that's not a problem for me, non-Islay shouldn't be iodine at all, but they are all indeed bitter.

Anyone here try pastis/pastaga? Shit is fucking rank. I already hate black licorice, so licorice tasting liqour had me ready to die Had I not been in Marseilles Id have never touched the stuff. No idea why people would drink it regularly.

Just seeing the picture made me feel sick in the tummy.

We used to mix this shit with root beer. Also pretty good in pineapple soda (Faygo brand).

Not bad if you can handle the incredible amounts of sugar.

Love pastis. It was everywhere in France, and dirt cheap, and then I moved to America and if you can even find it it's really expensive for some reason.
>>
>>7662245
I can imagine it tasting good when mixed with various stuff. But straight it's undrinkable.

Yeh like 4 years ago buddy.
I washating hipsters liking Fernet before you even knew what a Fernet was.

What does Chartreuse taste like?

I've become a big fan of some liqueurs, such as Benedictine, good orange liqueurs, berry liqueurs, and would like to try it, but am hesitant to drop the $50-60 that Chartreuse costs.

I'd imagine some people think Benedictine is "challenging" at least on its own. I think it's great by itself, but works even better with brandy or fruit liqueurs. Any of you fags got any good Benedictine cocktail recipes?

People who are interested in trying an anise-flavored drink should try Becherovka. It's backed up by a pleasant cinnamon and clove flavor rather than being a straight-up licorice bomb. It can be tricky to find though.

Malibu and milk with a handful of ice is great on a warm day. Trust me on this one, just try it.
>>
>>7662149
I don't think you're really supposed to drink liqueur straight, but yeah, I'm the only one around who seems to buy it regularly. Good stuff.
>>
>>7662532
Becherovka tastes like Christmas.

>>7662678

>>7662532

Does it still taste like black licorice though?

I dig clove and cinnamon, but can't do anise
>>
>>7662706
It's made with anise, which is what gives licorice its flavor, so yes. I still say it's worth a try if you ever find a friend or a bar with a bottle and you can just try a small glass of it.

It's an acquired taste, but I sure went and acquired it. The dill, in particular makes some amazing bloody marys. Perfect on a hot summer weekend after you've mown the lawn.

bleh. brings me back to a night when i drank two bottles of straight vermouth because i'd already stolen the rest of the parents' stash. ended up getting the liquid courage to get laid, but totally not worth the memory. looking back i have no idea why i didn't at least try to water it down or mix it, i had plenty of options.
>>
I really like Campari, just bought a new bottle last week. Campari and club soda is a great summer drink.

My one qualm with Campari is that it is so damn sweet, it is like syrup. But it's not something to get shit faced on or anything, a couple of campari and sodas are nice.

lol yeah we've all had those bad experiences. I remember drinking vodka and Diet Coke and one time drinking a bottle of curacao because it was all I could get my hands on.

Hungarian Palinka is the worst shit I've ever had. Basically as long as its distilled in someones bathtub and contains alcohol it's good enough. Went pub crawling in Budapest where they just kept giving us the stuff for nothing, thought I'd try to impress the cute guide.....

Never again.

Any wine, red or white. Doesn't matter. Literally sour grapes and tastes horrible.

I don't know what it was. My vietnamese friend came back from a family get together with it, and he didn't know what it was. I don't even know if it had a label. It was not good.

>>

It is very vegetal, it tastes like biting grass, and also it is sweet. But I like it, it's one of the finest liqueurs I've ever tried. I drink it either diluted with water or straight on the rocks, mixing it would in my opinion spoil this great drink. It's 110 proof so it's a bit challenging to drink straight, but you can do that as well. If you're going to buy one, buy Chartreuse Verte (the green one).
>>
>>7662857
I actually wanted to try palinka, thought it's a nice drink.
>>
>>7661445
Delicious. I grew up with this, later I developed a taste for all things sour. In fact now I only chug the harshest, peaty malts and the most venomous after dinner liqueurs. I eat lemons, avoid sweets and I generally despise sweet things and especially sweet drinks like vodka which feel like gay fruit juice to me, and this is all campari's doing.
I also found out that most of the people that grew up with campari ended up loving sour taste
>>
If you mix it with orange juice, it tastes like grapefruit.

as for other challenging drinks, I like kava-kava and jizz

I didn't find ouzo that bad. It's like licorice.
Granted I was like 15 when I last drank it so memory is vague.

Yeah, we have a shot that's popular called a prairie fire, tequila with Tabasco. Still nasty, but SoCo is sweet and fruity, so that adds a whole new level of gross when you add the Tabasco into the equation.

At least with 151, pretty much all you can taste to begin with is burning.
