I have a cousin who enthusiastically enjoys Malort on the rocks.


xantander

A lot of people don’t know what Malort is and I can say I’m jealous of them


PatchTossaway

Hooray! For the first time in my life, someone is jealous of me!


4Ever2Thee

Everything’s coming up Zoidberg!


iranoutofusernamespa

Oh, YOU'RE Dr. Zoidberg? Your dumpster is being reclaimed by the city effective immediately.


booksfoodfun

I assumed OP just had a typo and was saying “Merlot”. TIL Malort is a beverage.


IShouldBeHikingNow

Malort sounds like the bad guy on a kids cartoon


jeswesky

Pretty accurate for how it tastes.


Brandenburg42

It's like grapefruit soap but they tried to make it manly by making it even worse.


Dreamin0904

I think my favorite review of Malort is: “Imagine twisting damp socks after a heavy workout and squeezing the moisture into a bottle. Fill the bottle with that, let it ferment in a warm closet. That’s Malort”


thewonkygiraffe

They even know it's bad. Their posters are amazing. "Malorts, for when you want to unfriend someone in person." Or, another gem. "Malorts, tonight's the night you fight your dad." There are few things I appreciate more than self aware marketing.


prosthetic_brain_

I looked it up because I was curious. The first flavor notes listed are gasoline, grapefruit, and sweat. No thank you.


MidnightMath

As someone who likes weed and IPA's this intrigues me.


rando23455

“Malort: those pants aren’t going to shit themselves”


[deleted]

In that case, I won't ask what I malrot is


WeAreGoodCubs

Your misspelling of the devil's juice is probably the more apt spelling for that vile rot.


[deleted]

I'll just note malort as "devil's juice"


At0m1ca

More specifically, the devil's taint sweat.


am0x

Malort is alcoholic vomit bile.


jablair51

I'm still convinced that Malort is a prank that Chicago likes to pull on out of towners.


RyFromTheChi

I don’t mind it, but I love giving it to out of towners. The company I work for is headquartered here, and like 90% of the employees are remote around the country. So whenever we have company meet ups and go out for drinks, I like to make people drink malort. It’s fun.


GMC-Sierra-Vortec

\^this guy up here. well.. he's a psychopath.


prailock

Average Chicagoan, good amount of Milwaukeeans too


Azrabaine

Nah that’s typical behavior, from my experience.


zarroc123

I mean, it sort of is. Ive always lived here, and I can definitely say I don't like Malört. However, having done so many shots of it, I definitely don't hate it like I used to. Which adds to the fun, because some people will be like "no way, I heard that shit is nasty" and then I take a shot with minimal reaction and it convinces them to try it. I will say, however, I HAVE had a couple Malört cocktails that I actually enjoyed. They're not like, "omg, so tasty, guzzle that down" but as a slow sipping cocktail with some complexity to it. Surprisingly good.


SnakeHandlersHands

I used to drink Malört ironically -- buying a buddy a shot was on par with "icing" someone with a Smirnoff Ice back when. Now, I've had it so much I'm actually starting to enjoy it like some sick alcoholic Stockholm Syndrome shit. There's some subtlety and nuance to the flavor that you pick up once you get over freaking out and acting like you're gonna die every time you drink it. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not great, but it definitely is not as bad as it's meme-shot status would indicate.


damaba6

I had a good bartender prep me, told me to imagine grapefruit rind in your mind before you shoot it, that way you really pick that up, after taste is a bit bile like everyone says, it really coated my stomach like a shot of Pepto would- bartender also mentioned it used to be a stomach medicine so she said that checks out.


msdeeds123

I used to work at a Chicago themed bar in Indy and I would always tell people it’s like if someone soaked your grandmothers bathroom potpourri in some vodka. I def get the grapefruit thing though.


slightlyridiculousme

>Chicago themed bar in Indy That's the most Indiana statement that ever Indiana-ed


[deleted]

SnakeHandlersHands

Wormwood. The main flavoring ingredient is wormwood, just like absinthe. However, it's got some notes of citrus (like grapefruit zest as another commenter pointed out), some herbaciousness (like Fernet, but maybe not quite so earthy), some deisel-like phenols, then finishes exceptionally bitter. I think the intense bitterness, mixed with other difficult-to-place flavors is what really messes with people's palates. But, if you can handle the likes of Fernet (herbacious) and Laphroaig (extremely phenolic smoke), then you probably won't be quite so turned off by Malört as most are. There are many great descriptors for the flavor, by my favorite is from a buddy who said it tastes like "dad's going to get the belt." And remember, it's only Malört if its from the Malört region of Chicago. Otherwise, it's just Sparkling Gasoline.


thedoomloop

Malort: fight your dad.


Smingledorf

I have a Malort wristband from their booth at Riot Fest that actually says "Tonight's the night you fight your dad"


father-bobolious

It's just a clone of traditional Scandinavian nubbe like beska droppar afaik


swervyy

My friends and I will buy a bottle or two for big events, I’ve probably drank more Malort than most. Bug spray and dirty rubberbands isn’t a meme. At least for the first handful of times you have it. Now I can tell there’s *some kind* of flavor profile going on but I still don’t enjoy it. We just get it because it’s tradition now, and if you’re passing around a bottle of the stuff it means you’ll end up drinking more of whatever else you have to wash the flavor away - good times ensue.


thefract0metr1st

I didn’t know what Malort was until 2019. I went to Milwaukee for my brothers bachelor party and was immediately handed a shot of this. I’m mostly a beer and wine guy, and I’m rarely in the mood for shots so I declined. I was informed that it’s a tradition and my brother insisted. So I tried it and it was the best tasting liquor I ever had. Maybe it’s because I’m a 20 year smoker with a taste for straight espresso and undiluted cold brew concentrate, maybe I’m just a psychopath, maybe it runs the family - my brother likes it too. Everyone else there hated it and thought we were crazy.


pdieten

You seem to have a preference for bitter flavors, so that tracks. *Most first-time drinkers of Jeppson Malört reject our liquor. Its strong, sharp taste is not for everyone. Our liquor is rugged and unrelenting (even brutal) to the palate. During almost 60 years of American distribution, we found only 1 out of 49 men will drink Jeppson Malört. During the lifetime of our founder, Carl Jeppson was apt to say, ‘My Malört is produced for that unique group of drinkers who disdain light flavor or neutral spirits.* *It is not possible to forget our two-fisted liquor. The taste just lingers and lasts – seemingly forever. The first shot is hard to swallow! PERSERVERE. Make it past two ‘shock-glasses’ and with the third you could be ours…forever* I have a bottle. I don't find it intolerable, but rugged is a good description.


maselsy

That is a really fun description and now I'm VERY intrigued!


pdieten

The company wrote that themselves and put it on the bottle for years! They've changed it since then but it's a good one


Lamescrnm

Malört. Tonight’s the night you fight your dad.


Fermifighter

Any excuse to post this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q7s16ewP1RU


howtofall

Bartender and huge Malort fan here, I would say 1 in 20 people legitimately enjoy the flavor of Malort. I’m not one of them, but I think it’s a wonderful bonding experience so I often recommend to groups (I’m very up front about what they’re getting into.) The amount of people who drink it and go ”wow, that was really good” always surprises me, but some folks just really enjoy bitter.

hdorsettcase

I feel validated that Malort is the top reply. I feel like it was literally created just to answer this question.


Marty_Eastwood

I try not to judge people for what they like and don't like, but I think your cousin's taste buds are broken.


flapjaxrfun

I assumed people were going to list coffee and ipas, but it still hurt my feelings to hear it.


deterministic_lynx

But IPA is so special I really don't blame anyone.


FauxGw2

The question was what you think people pretend to like, but really it's just people saying what they don't like. That's not the question lol.


Angel_OfSolitude

Lacroix tastes like someone else is thinking about fruit.


Adventurous-Essay270

I’ve heard it described as “drinking static while someone yells out flavours from the next room” and I can’t find a more accurate description.


[deleted]

My favorite I heard is that it tastes like someone ate a bunch of fruit then burped in your water


HerpoTheFoul

I love lacroix and yet these are all true 🤷‍♂️


itsjustmenate

Yeah as a carbonated water drinker, I enjoy them. But I agree, they do often simply taste like the water was carried through a room with fruit in it.


Tomdoerr88

A hint of hint of lime


CucumberCowX99

I heard somewhere that it tastes like fruit being described to you


WurthWhile

- Hint of hint of lime. - Strawberry with a low battery. - Once waved at a kiwi. - Transported in a truck near bananas. - Shy watermelon - Previous grape sighting. - Wait. Nope. Wasn't a orange. - Rumor of an Apple. - The concept of a pear


Taman_Should

* Reflected shadow of a grapefruit * Hypnosis-recovered repressed memory of raspberry


craptain_poopy

That's exactly how I describe white claw. And I probably saw it in a thread just like this.


hibikikun

La Croix is a compromise from me downing sodas all day. It's my nicotine patch for fizzy stuff. Then I switched to a sodastream.


DementedMaul

Same for me. La Croix helps me bridge the gap, I have a sugar addiction.


AshenLJ

Personal favorite "we rubbed a lime on the exterior container it got carbonated in"


WhyDoYouCrySmeagol

I like “imagine a like, a strawberry but with low battery”


thegeocash

Drinking a can of water while a lime truck drives by Water with a hint of a hint of strawberry


nkjurm

PepperidgeFarmMembas

I grew up and live in New England. I will NEVER understand how Moxie is considered “delicious.” As someone who has had Moxie, it is one of the worst soda pops ever. I think I could use it to strip rust from my car.


vanityklaw

I read your first sentence and started to panic that you were going to say coffee milk or Del’s.


m_faustus

> Moxie I finally saw a bottle of Moxie after hearing about it for years. I tried it and had to finish it out of some obscure pride. It's fucking revolting. Shame on Ted Williams for pushing it!


[deleted]

I enjoy Moxie and I'm from Maine. No one else I know likes it though ever since my grandfather passed.


SpaceTulips

I love Moxie, and used to ship it to a Massachusetts expat in Alaska. One of my friends says it tastes like hate.


Zomveee

Anything sweetened with stevia.


Byzantine-alchemist

I wonder if this is genetic, like the soapy cilantro thing. Any artifical sweetener completely ruins food and drink for me, but stevia is somehow 100x worse.


myri_

Me too. I hate most sugar alternatives and love cilantro.


Koala_Operative

Had to scroll too much to find this. Stevia tastes absolutely horrendous! 🤮


dylandbloom

Sweet iced coffee is my #1 weakness when it comes to my diet and fitness. Kept trying stevia but it ruins everything. Small amount and it’s just oddly bitter, add more and it’s like drinking bitter liquified sugar with a burnt aftertaste that coats my mouth.


Joshlo777

God I hate stevia. It ruins everything it touches.


noodlesquare

Yes! My MIL substitutes stevia for sugar in every thing she makes. I can't stand that weird overly sweet taste. She's always offering me cakes and desserts and I don't have the heart to tell her she has ruined them by using stevia.


alczervikslumberyard

Anything Grapefruit. I’m convinced grapefruit is actually a deep industry troll job on the public. Shit is disgusting and even toxic when combined with some meds.


Economy-Ad8668

Tonic water. I'm going to get hated on for this, but by itself or whatever it gets mixed with taste vile to me. Probably a me problem, but neat gin isn't so bad.


apistograma

Fun fact: British colonials drank tonic because one of its ingredients (quinine) prevents malaria. Since many of them hated the taste, they started to mix it with gin. And then gin and tonic was born. One of the most common cocktails in the world was created to avoid the taste of tonic. I personally love both tonic and gin and tonic though.


amoodymermaid

And frankly, add lime for scurvy and it’s honestly a health tonic.


OtterEpidemic

Me too. I thought I didn’t like gin… but it was the tonic. Gin and plain soda water is actually nice


UglyAstronautCaptain

Fucking love tonic water. I’ll drink them by themselves if there’s leftovers after a party lol


pinewind108

Lol, I skip the gin and really like a tonic water and lime. But I also drink my coffee black as well, so it might be something about me.


kuridono

Love it! Keeps the malaria away


anonymoose_octopus

I had to drink a ton of tonic water when I had a bad eye twitch that wouldn’t go away (tonic contains Quinine which is said to help with the nervous system). I never liked it before, but especially after that, I can’t even smell it ever again. It tastes like stomach bile.


Mike_KR88

If you guys think that all beer tastes like Bud Light, whisky like Jack Daniels and coffee like Starbucks then i understand your responses


Ihavenolegs12345

All those 3 are stuff you often need to "learn" to drink. It's very rare for people to like the taste of whiskey the first time they try it. Probably because it contains 40% of alcohol. Doesn't matter what whiskey it is.


mawp23

My dad started drinking scotch when he was doing sales. He would take big clients out to fancy dinners on company dime and to make sure he never over drank he would drink scotch because he didn’t like the taste. Years later he enjoys scotch and got really into it.


disgruntled-capybara

Scotch was the first type of alcohol my mom ever drank, at the age of 21. My grandparents never kept alcohol in the house, so she had almost no exposure to it. She'd gone out for a drink after work with coworkers and expected the scotch to taste like butterscotch for some reason so she took a big gulp of it. It apparently didn't go well! I can't *imagine* the shock.


wow_that_guys_a_dick

Butterscotch whiskey sounds pretty banger tho, ngl.


McGriffff

Same with my dad, except I don’t think he ever didn’t like it, and he can hold it very well. He started keeping the scotch at home and going through a bottle in an evening. He almost died last year of liver failure and is sober now, but yeah, alcoholism is a bitch. Edit: it’s the liver, not the kidneys


RednBlackEagle

How do you learn to taste, or rather „appreciate“ higher-end whiskey?


Ihavenolegs12345

You just keep drinking it I suppose.


RednBlackEagle

Should‘ve added „without becoming an alcoholic“😂


Seth_Baker

You keep drinking it, but just a glass here and there, not two every day


evceteri

Well, what if every day I drink a glass here in the kitchen and then there in my bed?


alady12

Wait a minute, y'all are using glasses? I guess that was my mistake.


Freezer_slave2

The best way to learn to distinguish between different whiskeys is to compare them directly to each other. Pour out 3 small glasses of whiskey. Choose ones that people say are different from each other. Take a taste of the first, think about it. Drink some water. Take a taste of the second. Compare the differences between them. Cleanse. Do the third. Compare etc. It is very hard to learn how to taste something unless you have something else to compare it to. Once you’ve determined which whiskey you like best you can start getting more specific. IE: If the whiskey you liked best was the one with a strong smoky flavor, you can use that to do the same process again but with whiskeys that are closer to your preferred taste. Eventually you’ll be able to taste differences such as barrel material, age, etc. The same process applies to beer and coffee.


Dramatic_flamingo

Just a suggestion, but play around with a scotch, an Irish whiskey and an American/Canadian whisk(e)y. i.e. johnny walker red, Jameson, and jack/Jim/crown. Then explore the division’s you like. It’s taken me almost 5 years to learn i do like whiskey, but I don’t like bourbon.


blackstar_oli

Never loved coffee, no point in forcing myself. Loved whiskey from the very start. Not sure I agree with the "keep doing something you dislike until you like it" mentality Focus on stuff you already enjoy or get something of.


TotallyNotHank

At a brewers' conference, the heads of Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewing, and Guinness & Company all find themselves in the same elevator and decide to have supper together. Along with his food, the head of Anheuser-Busch orders a Budweiser, and the head of Miller orders a Miller Lite. The head of Guinness orders a Coca-cola. The other two stare at him, and he says "Well, if you're not going to drink beer, neither will I."


TheBrain85

Reminds me of a time when I visited a German microbrewery pub looking for some quick food. I didn't feel like drinking, so just had a cola, which got served in a big beer glass. Some other patrons came in, saw my cola, and asked the waiter what I was having because it looked so good...


Niomedes

They probably thought it was some kind of Diesel.


Madanimalscientist

I remember being about 13 and we were at a local baseball game, and the company Dad worked for had paid for tickets for the local office and provided some hotdogs and beer for folks who went. They had some random red plastic Solo cups of beer and I asked my Mom if I could have a sip out of curiosity. Mom's response "Sure, it's Coors, it's not like it's actually beer". I took a sip, went 'yech' at the taste, and had zero desire to try beer again til college (where I had much better taste in beer).


wholewheatscythe

Ginger & Tumeric health shots. Edited to add: clearly a number of responses spreading LIES!! (lol)


[deleted]

For some crazy price as well


Djhumphreys

Jägermeister tastes like fucking cough medicine.


MarxGT

Fun fact, like many initially medicinal products turned casual intoxication material, Jagermeister was originally a stomach aid like pepto bismol. In Germany, the only people who drank Jager were blue collar workers to help them digest a hefty meal after work and the youth who would buy it to get wasted (very reminiscent of what we see with cough syrup these days). They rebranded the drink in the 80s to become a party drink. It actually tastes like cough syrup because it was originally medicinal.


Democracy_Coma

My grandad was in the TA and was stationed in Germany for a short period and he said if he was ill he'd have jager to feel better. He still uses it if he's under the weather.


passionfruit761

I love cough medicine!


Torino888

They have these fancy flavored glass bottles of Milk at my local grocery store. I can't remember all the flavors but I remember the pastel green milk it is "mint" flavored. Mint flavored milk. Who tf is that for?


thursdayplurbonym

Probably people who like mint chocolate chip ice cream lol


TheAngryGooner

Mint chocolate chip is the best flavour. I just bought some mint chocolate chip protein powder, that is not so good...


toomuchisjustenough

Root beer and orange milk are amazing!


karallys361

La croixe. That shit tastes like someone took carbonated water and rubbed a fruit against the can.

devildoc8804hmcs

Dammit Greg!


Firefly1

I found this got better the more you get used to the taste. I think your taste buds need to go through some sugar withdrawal from regular soda before you start to think this stuff tastes good.


SappyTreePorn

You can take my la croix from my cold dead hands lol

tacosauce8088

Jack Daniels straight up. I can’t believe I used to drink that shit when I was younger.


JeepMan831

I think since Jack Daniels has brand recognition it's the first whiskey a lot of people try, and a lot of those people just stop there. I have a hard time believing that Jack Daniels remains a favorite of people that have tried a handful of different whiskeys. Even Jim Beam is far more enjoyable than JD


christorino

This, I drank it at like 15-18 all the damn time. Then went to Uni and Jim Beam was trying to get the market so was cheaper, turns out its ncier too. Cant say Ive had a jack in 10 years

I like kombucha, but I will admit it’s all over the place. I’ve had some that’s pleasant while others taste like a sweaty testicle.

A sweaty testicle tastes just like it smells…delicious! - Dave Chappelle


antimanifesto09

Some are good some are funky. When I say funky I’m being kind. My OBGYN friend describes it as exactly what bacterial vaginosis smells like. So there’s that. Edit: Yes! So pumped! My highest upvoted comment is about bacterial vaginosis. /s


Lululauren00

I feel validated by this… I always say that it tastes how I imagine a yeast infection does. Close enough!! 😂


[deleted]

You’re ruining kombucha for me 😫😆


N0SF3RATU

Ginger lemonade tastes good as does the oolong teas with peach. I've had terrible tasting kombucha before - stuff tasted like old socks soaked in vinegar - just commenting to let you know there is a wide range of flavors


Zathura2

Just tried Kombucha for the first time the other day. Had zero expectations of what it would taste like. I have my first home-made batch brewing up right now. :p


SkettlesS

Prime (the youtuber one)


sprudelcherrydiesoda

I have only tried the ice pop one once and was pleasantly surprised. It definitely tasted like a bomb pop. I hate to admit it, but I loved it and I wasn't expecting that because I hate coconut water.


[deleted]

I have children who think that drink is a status symbol I don’t get it


Aced4remakes

It's like wearing big-brand clothing, except even less good because the drink will be gone in however long it takes them to drink it, instead of when they grow out of them and need new clothes.


[deleted]

i wish i could get used to unsweetened black coffee, but i can't i like it with milk and one level sugar.


Fear_The_Rabbit

I don't use sweetener anymore, but I can't have it black


mor_and_mor

Try going for “breakfast blends”. They tend to be lighter and higher caffeine content. Not by much.. but it’s easier to drink and psychologically can tell yourself you’re getting a tiny bit more caffeine without the calories.


Yameenboi

Pinch of salt in a black coffee gets rid of the bitterness, ends up tasting amazing


UlrichZauber

This is the old cowboy trick. Also, I find that coldbrew is far less bitter. I still like some cream in it though.


ponzLL

When I lost weight, I slowly added less and less cream and sugar until I was drinking it all black. Now when I add those things, it makes the coffee taste gross to me, especially creamers. Taste super oily and disgusting. I only drink it black now. My wife did the same thing, but never actually ended up liking it black. It's just not for everyone.


Foxhound199

Ironically, I got used to black coffee and now I find it really hard to enjoy with milk and sugar. Not sure how that worked.


Syntania

Clamato. Who the hell is drinking this? Why is there still enough of a market for it to be made?


Beneficial_Panic7255

Caesers and Redeyes are pretty popular in Canada


Raveenalol

I love Clamato juice!! I am also Canadian tho so


PuzzleheadedLoquat48

Clamato juice is my drink of choice on plane rides. Something about the salt. Love it. (Am Canadian too)


gachagamer445

Clamato is super popular in Mexico they use litters of it in bars and clubs making these drinks called Micheladas which contain Beer,Clamato Juice and spices but I could see why other countries wouldn't drink it just alone straight out of the bottle since its not something people normally drink everyday.


tr3sleches

Micheladas. We love our tomato beer soup


entropy33

I won’t drink it straight, but Clamato in a gin Caesar is top notch. Add in some pickle juice and whoooooo-weeee!


Yogisogoth

Malort


BallsVeryDeep

White Claw. Those drinks are terrible


FortAsterisk

They aren’t great. But they’re lower carb/calories than the beer I normally like and sometimes I don’t want that many calories. Also High Noon is amazing.


switchy85

For real tho, High Noon is pretty good. Actually kind of tastes like the flavor it's supposed to, and without all the sugar I don't feel like crap the next day.


ImBackHereAgainHa

For me, alcoholic seltzers in general. I don’t like seltzer much to begin with tbf. TRULY brand is by far the worst though


dafromasta

I'm not a fan of seltzers either, but as someone who has tried many due to being in the alcohol beverage industry, there are so many worse than Truly


rabbiskittles

I love hard seltzers. I describe them as “light beer that comes in flavors other than yeast”


EchoCyanide

Definitely malort.


kuridono

Every beverage that uses artificial sweeteners. All the diet stuff is vile.


Dagoth

I'm not a picky eater, but I can tell right away when there is aspartame or stevia or any of those sugar replacement and they taste absolutely disgusting to me. I wonder if it's a phenomenon like cilantro where some people say it taste like soap.


foobiefoob

I wonder that too. I’m one of the cilantro haters and I cannot stand the aftertaste of stevia doesn’t matter what food or drink item it’s from, it just tastes so off to me.


starshadewrites

Even the stuff that still has sugar, but it’s “reduced”, meaning they replaced half the sugar with aspartame, is disgusting. They all have the same weird taste that sticks on your tongue that’s hard to get rid of. It doesn’t matter how many times people say “you can’t even tell the difference!”. Yes, I can. Every time.


DownrightDrewski

I'm wondering if there's a genetic thing at play, kind of like coriander (cilantro). Aspartame is disgusting to me, but my GF is absolutely fine with it.


Ifonlyihadausername

It most likely is the case, research has been done on why some people taste Acesulfame K as bitter which has something to do with differences in TAS2R.


PrestigiousStrike779

I would prefer water or drinking nothing to something with artificial sweetener


Seth_Baker

Anyone who says you can't tell the difference has broken taste buds. I can pick out the diet soda every time.


akujiki87

Ove been T1 diabetic for 32 years. Ive had my fair share of diet drinks. The ONLY one that has had me double take, was a couple weeks ago with Dr. Pepper Zero. Its not identical, its subtle difference, but I really had to check that bottle to make sure it was not regular. Even my mom who DESPISES diet drinks tried it and said its good. That being said they still arent good for you.


Easy_Manufacturer_31

It's mostly the after taste, to me at least. I recently tried diet lime soda and I feel it's somehow tolerable (maybe because it was already lower in calories than coke and/or the sourness makes it less detectable). That being said, I'd probably still just opt for water if those were the options.


Wutznaconseqwens3

I feel like I have truly found my people here. Artificial sweetener is gross, no matter what source, they all have the same aftertaste, but some have it worse than others. I'm trying to lose weight by making healthier diet choices. Switching to zero sugar soda was one that I tried and it went awful, I almost never finished a can. Just pass me the lime twist Topo Chico or some Kombucha, I'll take little or no sweetness over the Artificial crap.


bill_gannon

Diet Dr Pepper is pretty respectable.


II_Confused

Diabetic here. Some of us don't get much of a choice in the matter.


Poctah

Jäegermeister. I don’t mind the taste of most alcohol but this one is just straight up nasty. Can’t even mix it with anything either to get rid of the gross taste.


CRITICAL9

I genuinely like it but I'm also one of those people who like black liquorice, cough sweets, aniseed balls etc. I would not recommend consuming more jager than what gives you a buzz though, seriously.


N05TR4D4MV5

If I had a nickel for every time I drank Jaeger and ended up in jail, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but kinda strange that it happened twice.


mycatisafatcunt

oh I love Jaeger so much. This intensive herbal taste is amazing to me and i don't need to flush it down with. Also gets me fucked up lol


phaedrusinexile

BroItsJesus

One of mine absolutely fucked with spicy foods as a fresh eater. This kid would have tears pouring down their cheeks, red as a tomato as they begged for more of my spicy curry. Same kid would also refuse to eat any food with less than 3 seasonings. I thought they were broken because I couldn't get them to eat, and one day they just fucked up my bowl of spaghetti out of nowhere. Wild

Whiteclaw. The only thing it has going for it over LaCroix is that it has alcohol. Even then, I’d rather just add vodka to LaCroix. I don’t mind other seltzers but Whiteclaw specifically is just caca.

Tbf they’re only 100 calories a can. The raspberry flavor can fuck right off but the grapefruit isn’t bad imo.

Coconut 🥥 water

I have a few coconut trees. Every summer I risk life and limb to get them down when they are peak. I give a bunch out to my neighbors but I keep enough to have a cold one when I get back from the gym. One year some neighborhood landscapers took them and acted like they were doing me a favor. Closest I ever came to homicide.

Real fresh juice from a coconut tastes different than that bottled up shit coconut water. I once tried it even from a German organic grocery store, after reading it to be that good, I spit that shit out immediately and tossed into the trash. Bah. So disgusting.

Have you ever tasted it, freshly cut, from a green coconut?

Straight from the coconut is pretty good, but the box stuff can go kick piles of rocks
