Absoult Peppar

While waiting at VA today between appointments, I went and picked up a jug of this.
In my redneck mind, I thought about pepper flakes and other pepper taste.
That hi-priced shit taste like spoiled green bell peppers. In almost 68 years I've never tasted shit like that. For $23 bucks. Hey they can lay off the night shift.

I've always thought gin had a "cracked pepper" taste to it. I wanna make me some gin and tonics now. Nasty medicine!

Eeeew, I'd be hard pressed to think of something worse than that. Can you fix it, Buster, at least make it drinkable?

As with many things, that's just "a little too much going on."

You can't even buy regular old bubble gum anymore, everything has to be infused with some exotic flavor, or coupled with something else, a veritable smorgasbord of taste, a cornucopia of cacophonous characters.

Meh, I'll get drunk the old fashioned way: beer!

The name alone would make me think it would taste nasty, I can't believe you sprung for it.

Absolut can't stop flavoring stuff.

On the website I've found:

Ruby Red (grapefruit)
Berri Acai
Raspberri
Vanilla
Citron
Kurant
Mandrin
Pear
Peppar (recommended for Bloody Marys)
Mango
Apeach

denotes vomit-worthy

I didn't name 'em. All klever spellings came from Absolut.

This little hole in the wall bar I went to long ago had a signature drink call the "Take Five" and it consisted of absolut with freshly cracked pepper and lemmon zest. it was delightful... not quite as much as their house favorite the "Lady Day" so named for Billy Holliday which consisted of Absolute and Bailey's on the roicks... which is quite possibly my favorite indulgence drink of all time.

Well hell, how could you not like supercharged Bailey's... that would be unconstitutional.

Well I made it almost drinkable, it took a lot of Tabasco, V-8 and my Tony's seasoning.
The god-awful taste was still in the back of my throat.
Years ago, I drank shine that came from Sleepy John's, that might have been store in steel drums. They were hidden in a junk yard. 6 bucks a gallon. I thought that was bad.
Best way to have a drink of that shit, was to take a bite of hot pepper before and after.

Absolut. You win, hands down

I like the Absolut lemon and the mandarin. But I usually just dump it into a glass of OJ anyway, so who cares?

Hey, it's a quarter past nine . . . screwdriver time! Yay!

It's all becoming clear. I think Monster has become a lobbyist for the Federation of Pineapple Growers.
