Currently at a conference in Prague. I had forgotten quite how vile Becherovka herb liqueur was until I was invited to try a shot before dinner. As an aid to digestion, it works best in reverse!
For all the Islay haters on this forum I took a special side trip from Glasgow to Islay prior to a conference. The flight on a 24 seater turbo-prop is spectacular and the whiskies from Laphroaig, Bowmore and Bruichladdich even better on site.
We stayed in the same B&B as the Thirsty Traveler, Kevin Brauch, and had dinner in a restaurant with over 200 single malts.
I own a square meter of Islay, thanks to Laphroaig, and would love to go back there. Anyone who hates Islay single malts, Lagavullin, Ardbeg and Bunnahabhain is welcome to send them my way. I'd also accept Jura, Talisker and Highland Park from islands other than Islay.

Now, I have had a few chili-infused beers which were actually pretty good, all microbrews and usually a stout or porter which had enough body and sweetness to carry the heat.

Two Towns Made Marion cider--so sweet that it's entirely unpalatable. I do have a preference for semi-dries, but one of my coworkers has tried it too and was just as repulsed as I was. Unfortunately, the bar by my office (where my team goes for drinks once or twice a month) only has one cider tap, and it's always from that brewery (who reeeeeaaaally like to make things sweet).

Blue Moon Cinnamon Horchata Ale
I mean, it wasn't AWFUL. I just don't think beer should be a dessert.
For awful, Laphroaig. I could make a similar drink by chugging a bottle of Liquid Smoke.

Worst drink I've ever had was at a local seafood restaurant, a concoction called "Pearly Legal" which consisted of sake, pear brandy and balsamic infusion.
It would have been good if they had used less balsamic, because that overpowered everything else instead of just adding a contrasting note to the overall drink.
It's no longer on the restaurant's drink menu, which does not surprise me.
