It’s always fun when hospitality staff spill the beans about the filthy drink requests they occasionally get from their guests. But guess what? FavorFlav readers in the comments section also love disgusting combinations! We separate the wheat from the chaff. Burp!

Traffic light, anyone?

“Pisang Ambon, orange juice and berry liqueur (Coebergh). And then try to get it into the glass in layers.”
Well, I’d rather skip the whole thing. But 10 points for originality.

Top it off with some beer

“At the bar where I worked, there was a regular who always drank a double Bacardi with a little cola in a small vase, topped up with beer. I never tasted it and still don’t regret it.”
I get it! I’m not opposed to a little Bacardi and cola now and then either, but the beer with it?!

Move over, Cola

“Red wine, orange soda.”
Turns out, it’s not just red wine and cola that’s hugely popular. You also love drinking it with orange soda. Crazy or genius—in Spain, you can even buy this by the liter!

Bounty

“Malibu with chocolate milk.”
Wow, I totally missed this trend, but apparently it’s a thing! Malibu with chocolate milk, which many readers say is delicious; “just like a Bounty.” One for the alcoholic bucket list!

Rather go on safari or take a walk in the woods?

“A strange recommendation: Safari-Fristi. One to avoid: Boswandeling with Red Bull—there were lumps in the glass when I picked it up.”
Admittedly, I had to look up what “Boswandeling” is.. Thank you, Google: Boswandeling is a Dutch cream liqueur with a tropical twist. Flavors: banana and coconut. Cream liqueur with Red Bull—yuck! I can imagine that would separate, yes.

Delicious with Fristi

“Malibu with Fristi.”
People really do love their Fristi! Not only was Safari-Fristi recommended, but Malibu-Fristi too. The only combination that doesn’t work? Fitgirl-Fristi. So much junk in one drink…

Learned young, done for life

“When there was a celebration, our grandparents gave us white wine and white lemonade as children. In Germany they call that Spezi.”
Wasn’t Spezi also a German drink made with cola and lemonade? You wouldn’t want to accidentally mix those up for the kids!

Devilish drink

“I once had a customer who drank Duvel with grapefruit juice.”
*grabs a basin*

YUCK!

“Blonde Leffe with hot chocolate. I know someone who drinks this.”
And you still know that person?? YUCK!

Devil’s advocate

“7Up with advocaat. Just give it a stir.”
And do you add some whipped cream too? Eat it with a spoon? As far as I’m concerned, there should be a very severe penalty for this…
