worst bar drink ever?
Zug.com attempts to find the worst bar drink ever. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed with what they got, although it wasn’t their fault so much as the fact that they had unimaginative bartenders. The Green Chartreuse sounded interesting, but the other drinks were fruity frou-frou drinks that didn’t seem so bad. Maybe the bartenders confused “worst shot” for “most esoteric shot”.
The comments section was a bit better. I saw a few truly nasty shots in there, which since I’m not 19 years old anymore, will probably never do. They include pouring the disgusting runoff shit from the bartender mat into a shot glass, and this thing:
Bloody Runny Indian Fart at Sunrise.
in a rocks glass you put in one shot 151. on top of this one raw egg, one shot of baileys, and topped off with a couple squirts of tobasco.I don’t know if you’ve ever tried a raw egg alone, but the 151 begins cooking the egg to a rotten consistancy, while also curdling the baileys, top that off with tobasco and you are in for a ride.
Uh, thanks, SaDisTic3vil. Oh yeah, I also won’t be doing the “Dirty Mexican - Tequilla and Mayonaise” either.
For me, a disgusting shot isn’t just the amount of burning due to high alcohol content, or a nasty taste due to an odd combination of liquors. No, for me, a disgusting shot must also include a horrible consistency (or “mouth feel”). In this spirit, I present the shots that I’ve actually done (or been present for) and thought were disgusting:
1) the T-Bone. 1/2 shot of 151 and 1/2 shot of A-1 Steak Sauce. The liquor instantly goes into your mouth and burns your soft tissues while you wait for the steak sauce to catch up due to its higher viscosity. Putrid.
2) The Eggermeister. One shot of Jaegermeister and one pickled egg (common in most bars), served in a highball glass. The nastiness comes from having to hold the Jaeger in your mouth as you chew the rubbery, pickled egg. Blech.
3) No name. Take a shot of Jack Daniels and insert 1/2 strip of raw bacon. It causes this to happen:
Suggestions for the last one are welcomed.

although these shots all have their merits, the genesis of their concoction is suspect. in my ho-hum blase world a shot consists of items found at a bar. though i have not been to the mountains of colorado, i can’t think of a single bar i’ve been to that had pickled eggs, even the russian bars i’ve been to in brooklyn were missing that succulent edible. as for A-1, well i guess it would be around, but then again why wouldn’t you fill the shot glass with salt, pepper, or some other condiment? now i know the story behind the bacon, so i will not knock that, though at the same time if you’re basing your drinks on ro-sham dares why not just plop a dog turd in the glass? now i can’t justifiably make criticism without offering up my own solution introduced by our ohio born friend dickey (what an unfortunate last name):
the around the corner-half gin half tequila, served warm, and the only rule is that if it’s your first time you can’t know what in it. the shot is like walking around a corner…right into a brick wall.

agreed.. the ’round the corner is pretty devastating.. and was pitched to me thusly:
it’s like jesus cumming in your mouth.
how do you pass that up.

I must admit I was impressed by the vision of your Eggermeister - which does indeed sound like a formidable opponent, however I would respectfully suggest a minor tweak to the recipe. Whilst the picked egg is an inspired choice, the Jagermeister itself is (relatively) inoffensive in the world of truly foul liquors.
I suggest that replacing it with Unicum Zwack (look it up) - will provide more of a herbal kick, and enhance the textural effect of the rubbery egg.
I haven’t tried this yet (and won’t under any circumstances), as Zwack is one of only two drinks that I hacve absolute fear for. The other being the “premium” variant of a kind of Tunisian fig tequila, but I think the vile fruity petrolness of that might actually inadvertantly diminish the horror of the pickled egg. It has brought me out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.
