Worst drink YOU'VE ever served to someone?
At my place in NB we had a sunday afternoon sudden drinking urge...booze stores were closed so I had to serve five dollar brandy mixed with pepsi.

1. I was a bartender...
all through college, working for the University. At one semi-fancy faculty event, a nice woman came up to the bar and ordered a Kir, which is white wine with creme de cassis.

I poured her drink, handed it to her, and she drank it. Not quickly, not slowly, just sipped it normally. Put the empty glass back on the bar and thanked me.

When cleaning up after the event, I looked at the bottles I'd put on my shelf, and I'd picked up the Creme de Cacao instead of Creme de Cassis. UGH.... musta been awful. But she was classy and didn't complain. I find it hard to believe she didn't NOTICE the difference. Kir drinkers know what they like.

2. Cappucino with a hocker in it
Seriously.

We had this one regular customer who would come in our restaurant all the time and just piss the hell out of the wait staff and bar. I was working the cocktail lounge and he was sitting in my section and just making me miserable (like he usually does) and I was getting fed up with his crap. The worse was he bought a meal, ate 4/5ths of the meal and then demanded his money back because he didn't like it. Buddy - if you don't like the meal don't eat the entire thing and then return it.

So the bartender (who also couldn't stand his ass from too many cheap drinks) and I decided to get our revenge. He always got a cappacino at the end of the night and I put a hocker in it. We served it and he drank it.

He still came back.

11. That's why I NEVER return food at restaurants.
No matter how bad it is. I've worked enough service jobs to know the nasty things ticked off employees do to the food. At best you end up eating dirt, at worst, someone else's bodily fluids. Yuck. :puke:

20. I was not that nasty of a waitperson
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 10:02 PM by LynneSin
Seriously - this guy was pulling that kind of crap for months. Believe me, if you don't like your food - return it. But don't eat the entire meal and then demand you want your money back. If you can't figure it out in the first 3 bites then you're just trying to scam the restaurant.

I waited tables on and off for over 10 years and I've only ever pulled that stunt once.

6. I mixed a vodka and iced tea once for my roommate.
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 09:13 PM by JaySherman
It was like 3/4 vodka - 1/4 iced tea. He took one sip and told me to go dilute it. So I just added more iced tea mix and gave it back to him. He got floored that night. :evilgrin:

Edited for stupid typos. :dunce:

7. First one I mixed as a teenager. I didn't know WTF I was doing.
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 09:21 PM by Booberdawg
I was spending the night at my uncle's with my cousin and the adults were out, so we hit the wet bar in the basement and I took charge of mixing cocktails. In a tupperware glasses I mixed my idea of a mixed drink. We were around 14 at the time.

Burbon
Vodka
Rum
Scotch
Whatever the fuck else was in that liquor cabinet.

We each drank a full glass of this shit. It was awful. When my aunt and uncle came home we were passed out upstairs and we couldn't walk so they practically dragged us to the basement and pushed us into bed. We barfed over our respective sides of the bed all night. Had to clean it up the next day too. Red carpet. Blecch!



That was the worst drink I ever served to someone. Then I learned a mixed drink meant you mix some fricking soda in it too!!!

10. Maybe not the worst, but the most debilitating
The time I made Margueritas with 180 proof tequila...

They tasted innocuous, but all eight of my dinner guests decided to sit down and take a nap after the appetizers. When we all woke up again, it was after midnight, and the enchiladas were stone cold.

13. A drink called "The Cement Mixer"
It's an old bartender trick. You serve someone a shot of Bailey's Irish Creme and pour some Rose's Lime into it. You tell the person you're giving the shot to that part of the drink ritual is to swish the drink around in your mouth. When they do that, the dairy in the Bailey's curdles right in their mouth. It's a cruel trick, but very effective on assholes and funny to boot!

15. this one "friend" of mine
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 10:07 PM by HEyHEY
He's fucking annoying. ANyway he is one of those guys that will hit on every woman in the room, even after you've said to him..."look please stay away from so and so I've got something going with her"

one night he was being a creep to a girl I was interested in..he was really creeping her out and talking about himself because that is his way of "flirting" she kept lookin at me for escape...I was fed up, I dumped a shitload of vinegar into his beer when he wasn't looking then told him we would cheers then chug....we did and he looked at me and ran to the washroom to puke.
Me and the girl laughed then went out for a smoke.
fucker...that'll teach him

14. Blackberry Bitch
Something I called a Blackberry Bitch. I dare anyone to drink it. The nastiness could not be topped, but I've gotten several people drunk on them. Start with about 4 ounces of bourbon, add 3 ounces of blackberry brandy, 2 scoops Country Time Lemon-Lime mix, and a large dash of coca-cola. Lastly, add a peppermint candy. When the peppermint is half dissolved, the drink is ready. I know I'm forgetting one of the ingredients that helps make it palatable.

18. Now THAT is NASTY
I'll know I'm a Real Man(tm) when I can take a mat shot. No, on second thought, I'll know I'm a big dumbass when I take a mat shot.
