Battered - Choice of spirit

[PAH]

Black Sambuca - Serves you right.

Oh yes, how could I forget Sambuca. First time I tried it was on holiday in Greece. To this day the first and only time I've blacked out* during a drinking session. I usually just end up puking my guts and deciding it's time to stop drinking.

* worst part was I 'woke up' later after someone poured water over me as I lay outside the hotel. They wouldn't tell me what I'd got up to that night. Only thing I did find out was when I coincidentally bumped into a group of girls in a nightclub the next night and wondered how they knew me and why they were being so friendly. Turned out I'd had a wild night with them but couldn't remember a damn thing about it. I was apparently 'missing in action' with them for several hours before my mates found me and dragged me back to the hotel. A real jekyll and hyde experience, both shocking and gutting.

I hope that one day they'll invent a mind unlocking machine so I can recover that memory. Though doubt it's anywhere near as good as my imagination came up with after hearing about it!

When they do - please let me know, so I can recover approximately 5% of my life.

And of course there's my home infused blackberry whisky and apple vodka.

They're much, much nicer than the cooking liquer they started out as...

Guilty pleasure - Jaeger Bombs...

And I have developed a taste for decent tequila.

WAAAAAH AARRGGGGHHH NOOOOOOO.

The smell of that stuff makes my physically retch, I get the sicky dribbles if I even spy a bottle of it.

The worst thing I've ever swallowed was that stupid green stuff, Absynth (spelt wrong, I bet). I thought my tongue had fallen off, and I just keeled over.

However... that Pinot Noir I had at lunchtime is easily the best one I've had... and I forgot to take down the ruddy name.

Pinot Noir by the sound of it

HTH

Homemade Blackberry Vodka and Sloe Gin, very nice and very dangerous

Black Sambuca

All have some factor with me after one or two heavy evenings.
Oddly - I tried a 'blackjack' (Black Sambuca layered shot with JD) a few weeks ago and it was alright.

Southern Comfort lost a lot of its mystique, let's say, after I polished off a litre of duty free over the course of an afternoon some years ago and was sick as a parrot the next day.

But I'll still drink it, and I honestly can't think of any drink aversions I've developed.

I believe Sambucca and Grappa are the most common aversions though, because a lot of people tend to overdose on them while on Mediterranean holidays!

Sambuca

I still have splashes of Sambuca puke stain on my Mulberry handbag. Gutted.
