I had my first Alcoholic Beverage Today - HELP?!

Today was the first day I had a shot of *******.

I went to Rite Aid and bought the Red (Regular No Flavor Added) Stolichnaya went home and poured it straight from the bottle into my glass and started to ***** ...

It tasted like absolute VERY bitter vinegar. My taste buds went like ewwwwwwwwwww and ugggggghheeeeeeeewwwwwweeee. But ... all my friends say ***** (and ******* in general) is great. Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to mix it with something or what? If this is how most ******* tastes then I'm OUT ...
 
HAHAHA dont buy the Zero Sugar range you goose!
 
Stolichnaya is awesome. I think taking shots of it is wasting it though. It's best property is its ability to not taint other things with ******* flavor (compared to other *****'s). If you want to take shots, I'd recommend UV's lemonade flavor. You can ***** that straight from the bottle, and it still tastes good. Scotch is another thing to ***** straight. Some people do *******, but I don't like it.

Try pina coladas. They're tastey. I also like gin and tonic. ****** Mary's do a good job of completely hiding ******* taste, but you have to like tomato juice.

As for ****, good starter beers are Michelob Ultra and Honey Brown due to their relative mildness.

There's also things like Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice.

In general, alcoholic beverages are an acquired taste. They take awhile to get used to. Mike's Hard Lemonade and pina coladas are exceptions.
 
mix-it with some orange or lemon juice 1/3 of of glass ice+***** and 2/3 juice ;)
 
If you want to do shots, I would recommend scotch or *******. It tastes a lot better IMO. But if you're in the UK remember that ordering "******" will get you scotch, not *******.
 
******* is most definitely an acquired taste. You're not doing anything wrong, it's just one of those things where you kind of have to convince your brain that you like something that it's telling you tastes like ****. After a while it won't be that bad.

With that said, doing shots off the bat is not a good place to start. Try mixing harsher alcoholic drinks with milder drinks. Pina Coladas are good, Long Island Ice Teas not so good. Like Dootiful said, a good place to start is with ****. Again, look for a lighter **** to start. American beers are notorious for how watered down they are, so Bud Light would be a good choice to start, just don't get stuck on it (I've pissed stuff with more alcoholic content than a Bud Light). Don't start with Guinness or Anchor Steam because you'll end up hating ****. Oh, and, no matter what anyone tells you, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM 211 STEEL RESERVE!

Other than that, all I can suggest is that you experiment. Ask people who might be knowledgeable about different kinds of drinks what they consider good and bad, and try them out. Your opinion of what's good and what's not so good may differ from theirs (in my case, I refuse to ***** Sierra Nevada because it tastes like flowers, but everyone else I know loves it), but at least it'll give you a good place to start.
 
Red -

How did it go with the girl and your association with the JW Kingdom Hall ?
That was you . . . right ?

Are you a free man ?

Is that what the ****** is all about ?

:partysml::bigjump::party::jump:

Moderate yourself now :thumbsup:
 
I think taking a shot was a bad first move. You probably allowed it to sit in your mouth a bit and get the taste rather than just swallowing it down.

As someone mentioned, try a **** first just get used to it and then build up!

Hahhaha, hilarious.

******* is never nice the first time you try it. And your friends are probably reffering to the effect of ***** being great, not the flavour or the act of ******** it.
 
Anybody who "shoots" Scotch should be...well, shot.

As far as ***** goes, and assuming you are of legal ******** age :cool:

Try these:

Cape Cod -- Basically 6:1 Cranberry Juice to *****. Put ice in a highball glass pour about 1 oz (1.5 for stronger) of ***** and top it off with cranberry juice.

007 -- Orange Juice, Stoli Orange *****, 7-up. Same ratio as above just hit it with a splash of 7-up. You can use any orange flavored ***** really.

Of course there is always the plain old ***** Martini. I like 'em extra dirty...like my women.

Stoli in the red label bottle is their basic run-of-the-mill *****. Stoli Gold (has a black label) is thier "premium" ***** and has been thru the distillation process a few ore times. The more times it is distilled, the smoother it will be. Smoother = less "burn."

Vodkas like Belvedere and Grey Goose are EXCELLENT triple distilled vodkas which can easily be drank "neat" meaning with nothing else. I will recommend that you leave the ***** bottle in the freezer and allow it chill -- it will thicken slightly like syrup but it will never freeze due to the ******* content.

Lastly, ******* is an aquired taste. Very few people actually "enjoy" their first taste of an alcoholic beverage, and in the US that is the reason why we have the poor excuses for **** like Miller, Bud, and Coors because many Americans did not like the stronger flavor of Pre-Prohibition lager beers and obviously prefer warmed-over, diluted ***** *****. :D
 
Oh! Another thing about alcoholic beverages, please don't be ****** into doing shots. Doing shots of whatever is a terrible way to waste a perfectly good *****. Anytime my roommates get tequila, brandy, or just about anything else, they have to do shots with it. For them, ******** is only about getting fucked up.

For me it's different. I was always taught that the point of ******** is to taste whatever it is that I'm ******** and to enjoy it. Doing shots doesn't let you enjoy anything because it just passes from glass to gullet with minimal contact with the taste buds. If I get something expensive, say Cazadores Reposado, I want to enjoy what I spent my money on, and not just throw it down the hatch. If I wanted to do that, it would make no difference if I'm ******** 75 year old scotch or **** water, they would both taste the same.

Well Im 22 and didn't ***** until I was legal... i hated and still **** the taste of *******... im not much of a drinker but try smirnoff ices... sure you might get made fun of (my gf can handle hardl ****** and says I only ***** "girly drinks") but its good... tastes like juice or soda with just a little punch to it

but beyond that i **** the taste of **** or most alcohols..... I do like this warm alcoholic (lots of *******) punch ***** that the founding fathers used to *****... big history buff and looked it up one time.... its really good; forgetting the name right now though
 
Follow the shots with a chaser of a non-alcoholic *****...some people use fruit juice, some use soda, whatever is on hand. There's nothing to really improve the taste - if you **** the taste of *******, you'll still detect it and cringe...even in mixed drinks. It just takes time to get used to it...you have to suck it up and just ***** it. If you learn to ***** shots, the better off you'll be...you don't have to ***** as many shots, and you get ***** more quickly.

A shot recipe that actually tastes good: butter shots + bailey's irish cream
 
Tequila is great for shots! :thumbsup:

It'll kick your ass, but it's still great for shots!

I don't care for ***** myself.
 
hey,
Try some captain Morgan's spiced *** mixed with Ginger Ale....it tastes exactly like A&W Cream Soda pop.

Or a Madori Sour...Madori ****** mixed with sweet &sour mix with a splash of OJ.

To the Cape Cod listed above...I add Peach Schnapps...great taste.

You want shots...try an Oatmeal Cookie...1/2 oz. Jaegermeister with 1/2 oz. of Cinnamon Schnapps with 1/2 oz. of Irish Cream, and a 1/2 oz. of Butterscotch Schnapps...shake well strain into a chilled glass...enjoy!!!:glugglug::glugglug:
