Bad mixed drinks

You ever had one of those nights where you went out, bought about $60 worth of liquor; totally certain that your concoction was going to be badass... Only to find out that it tastes like horse vomit?

I'm not going to reveal what I mixed, because my fail is too sad for me to handle. Let's just say that the mixture separated itself, turning the bottom half of the glass green and making floating white foamy goo near the top. The foam almost solidified and tasted nasty.

Bailey's and apple pucker?

Bailey's doesn't really mix well with a lot of things. It results in a lumpy, frothy mess or worse...the desired congealed mess of a cement mixer.

hypnotic + henessey its called the incredible hulk, you add 2 shots of henessey to 2 shots of hypnotic and its supposed to turn green but it looks like someone pooped in your glass and tastes nasty.

I don't like mixed drinks, so no. Gin and tonic is about as fancy as I get. I'd rather have beer or whisky.

This girl we were with one night mixed vodka and ginger ale. Tasted terrible, but she finished it off somehow.

I'm not very experienced with mixed drinks (my preference is for scotch with maybe a little ice), but a friend dragged me into a martini bar a while back and ordered me some fancy martini that was a couple of different colours. I had one sip and walked back up to the bar and ordered a vodka martini with a couple of olives.

I really hate sweet alchoholic beverages.

No, I generally only have basic mixed drinks. I hate all of that fru-fru, candy-ass BS that a lot of places put in their drinks and have no desire to replicate it in my own home.

One of my favourite mixed drinks right now is a Boulevardier, which is just some bourbon, campari, and a bit of vermouth, with an orange or lemon twist. Delicious!

truth be told. it is very smooth and no burn. its awesome.

I can't stand Red Bull, so that does not help. The pucker stuff sounds kind of gross, but if you took out those three things, the rest would be ok.

I like a white russian.

From wikipedia:

A White Russian is a sweet cocktail made from vodka, coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa or Tia Maria), and cream served in an old-fashioned glass with ice. Milk or Half & Half or Baileys Irish Cream are often used as substitutes for cream. In recent years, since the release of the cult film The Big Lebowski, White Russians have seen a resurgence amongst the current youth culture.

They're one of my favorites for a girly drink, but too sweet for me. I'll take a sip of someone else's, but that's about all I can take.
