I know it says "in the tags" but.
I was about to say 'hands down it was Gordon's Lemon Gin" but then something reminded me about Bundaberg Spiced Rum.
The Lemon Gin was an utter disappointment. I think I still made it through the bottle (with some help from similarly disappointed helpers). You know how Lemon has like. Two kinds of lemon flavour? Like that sweet lemon flavour you'd expect from pies or lemon and poppyseed muffins, vs that almost bitter and sour citrus you get from very few - but often enough to recognize - sources?
It was very definitely not sweet lemon. I would not pair that in any way, shape, or form with anything sweet.
(Which is a shame! The pink gin? lovely. The tangerine? Not bad! The lemon though I would run for the hills)
The Bundaberg Spiced Rum, however.
I never thought I'd find something that tasted like burning plastic.
They proved me wrong.
It was probably the most foul, worst thing I've tried. I think we even tried mixing it with coke, and that couldn't save it.
tell me in the tags either the worse drink you've ever had or what you do to alcohol to make it palatable
#but generally I don't mind alcohol?#I like if there's a kick to it that I can TELL I'm drinking#which is why I don't really like too many of the mixers?#like if I wanted to drink at least let there be a kick like whiskey or rum#vodka's actually nice too though but generally on its own thx#you can tell I just like. tried anything with a label or name that appealed#I am a fool for a cute label#(hello bizarrely amazing russian honey liquor)#ironically though when I was at uni - laziest little shit could not be bothered going out of my way to get alcohol.#sometimes I still am but it's a social thing#if it were just me myself and I it'd probably just be me with a tea IV and the occasional rum/whiskey/gin no doubt#I think one of the things that kinda helped was also going to various masterclasses at the local alcohol store#finding out that 'hey there's some whiskeys that aren't too bad' and 'holy shitballs I did not like that' without being bound to anything#helps a lot?#(also things like 'add a little bit of water to the whiskey to change the flavour' were interesting little Things™ to learn)#But idk I guess my big thing is just trying stuff and working out what tastes good to you and what tastes bad
