Sounds like Johnny Walker!

That brings back some (rather vague) memories. I think that cement mixer just about beats unicum for my vote although nowadays just thinking about tequlia is near puking territory for me.

Brennivín, the god-awful Icelandic black licorice schnapps liquor. Simply repulsive!

Extra dirty martini.

I had to send it back. (it was probably fine, but all my co-workers were drinking extra dirty martinis at the time and I decided to try one, too. And I don't like olives.)

Right up there with a bartender doing you a favor and giving you a Dirty Bloody Mary. Or worse substituting Clamato for Bloody Mary mix. Gak!

Then there's Aperol. And airplane wine. I once went to an art gallery event where they brought out box white wine from last month's gathering now in a one liter Pepsi bottle. Looked like pee, but was labeled "wine" and had been carefully stored on a closet shelf for the last four weeks. Didn't try it.

Unfortunate name for a commercial product.

Aperol's lovely, but only in a spritzer. Couldn't imagine drinking it straight up. But, equal parts aperol, prosecco and club soda over ice? Love it!

The Bizarre Foods Mongolia episode is basically 45 minutes of Andrew Zimmern delicately explaining to his hosts that Westerners find the taste of rotten dairy products disgusting.

The worst beer I've had recently was Taiwan Beer. It wouldn't crack the top 75% of malt liquors.

I like the more "spice" based pumpkin beers, but the ones that go overboard with the attempt to taste like pumpkin pie are gross. Southern Tier's Pumking seems to get good reviews, but it just tastes like a nasty flavored schnapps to me.

Pisco sour in Peru, followed a close second by Jameson's whisky. I can't tolerate Irish whisky but I do like scotch whiskey.

Another one, Billy's Chillies beer. Possibly the only beer I've ever had where I physically couldn't finish the bottle.

Neither is the orange "wine" my friend and I bought, also in Costa Rica. We thought we were being thrifty and adventurous bypassing the imported Chilean grape wine that cost 10x more...which we ended up purchasing the next day anyways.

There is a reason non-grape fruit wines aren't THAT popular worldwide.

Do you mean Pimm's or a Pimm's Cup? You don't drink it straight, silly boy!

Sorry, a Pimm's Cup, which i remember to be a vile, sickly sweet cocktail. Of course I may have just had it at the wrong place but even still, yech.

My ex-BIL (tico) is very fond of all the fruit wines and would bring them to xmas dinners. Mango, star fruit, pineapple, raspberry -- ugh, made me long for a bottle of Boone's Farm!

My worst drink EVER: during college daze, I worked as a bartender in Waikiki. When we closed at 2am, the waitress and I would draw cards for the closing chores (wipe down tables, stack chairs, etc). High card had the choice of either the chores or "mat drink". I lost -- often -- and had to stomach 20 hours worth of accumulated rum, vodka, gin, bourbon, scotch, creme de menthe (grasshoppers were BIG then), Kahlua, etc etc ad naseum (and I mean NASEUM). Even today when someone asks if I want a pau hana drink, I flinch.

Ah, the good old daze!
