Your LEAST favorite cocktail ? (out of fairly popular ones)

[Umma2gumma]

Everyone has a list of their most favorite drinks. How about the least favorite, assuming we are talking commonly offered and generally popular cocktails.

For me, it's got to be the White Russian. I can't stand sweet syrupy liquor, or any sweet alcohol period (I like slightly sweet whiskeys or some cocktails with sweet Vermouth, like Manhattan, but that's about as far as I can go; no Bailey or Kahlua or anything of that nature).

Tom cruise, Bryan Brown is a treasure

Cloying, frozen margaritas, especially if made from kiwi, mango, strawberry, peach, banana, cotton candy, fairy dust, vampire glitter, unicorn poop, or any combination thereof.

Substitute "daiquiris" for "margaritas," and I feel the same.

I'll give you two: Moscow Mule and Jager Bomb. In a perfect world they would fight each other for the title Worst Ever, and they would both die.

Cement Mixer. A combo of Bailey's and lemon juice. It begins to curdle in your mouth and gives a terrible after taste.

 

[Champion of Capua]

Shots of tequila (if that counts)

 

[KW Driver]

Anything with gin, to include gin.

 

[The Knize]

Any drink made with crappy tequila. Any drink made with whatever that never goes bad lemon flavoring bars sometimes use rather than real citrus . Have not been pleased with most mixed drinks that include Mezcal, but there must be something out there that works, as I like Mezcal on its own fine, unless it is really cheap Mezcal. I like amaros, but have not been a fan of including amaro in mixed drinks. Again, there must be a good drink out there made with amaro. Not a big fan of drinks made with Scotch. Rusty Nails are fine, but that should not count, as Drambuie is Scotch-based to begin with.

Otherwise I seem to like most drinks.

I thought I recalled you enjoying a Negroni from time to time. I know that some argue that Campari is not a true "amaro" because it's typically consumed as an aperitif, but I don't quite get that.

Not a big fan of drinks made with Scotch.

Have you tried a Rob Roy? Essentially, that's a Manhattan where the bourbon or rye is replaced with Scotch. A nice change of pace.

I apologize if you've already commented on the above. It's sometimes tough to keep track of who says what around here.

Anything with ginger.

 

[Mick]

Anything as there is enough of it to get the job done.

Good comments and memory as usual, TexLaw. I think of amaros as always having a licorice or cough syrup-like component and almost always being dark in color. To me, Campari is bitter without those darker notes. I sure do enjoy a Negroni from time to time. A truly fine mixed drink.

<Have you tried a Rob Roy?>

Yeah, and I do not love it. My general feeling is I would just as soon drink straight Scotch. I admit I have not tried a Penicillin. Sounds like it might work. I have not actually tried a Blood and Sand, but I am not "feeling" that one!

Same here. I never could acquire a taste for it.

Another vote for negroni

 

[bobmsp]

Keep it up guys - it means more Negronis for me!

 

[Badgerstate36]

Old Fashioned. Im not a fan of bourbon. Now a Brandy Old Fashioned, that is proper cocktail.
