Not gonna lie. I may not go out and buy that, but I have made similar cocktails at home, and they were pretty tasty.

Then there's this:

and this:

"Part of a complete breakfast!"

The terrible thing about these isn't the fake orange juice combined with rot gut vodka, it's that (at least in my area) they want twelve freaking dollars for this shit. That's three bucks a can!

You could literally buy an entire jug of not-orange juice as well as a 750 ml bottle of vodka for less.

I've seen worse stuff. I've caused worse stuff.

In my Chemistry uni times, I already prepared limoncello at home (vodka infused with lemon peels). Nothing weird, right. I even brought some to the uni parties, people loved that stuff.

And in the Organics lab one of the practical tasks was to synthesise isoamyl acetate, also known as banana oil. It's completely safe as food/drink flavouring, but it has a clearly artificial banana flavour.

Then there's that muppet connecting both things. He took inspiration of my limoncello, but he wanted to do things "like a chemist". So he prepared a batch of isoamyl acetate, and used it to flavour vodka. He also used a buttload of sugar and yellow food dye. And he brought that to a uni party.

He called it "bananacello". Everyone else, including me, called it "banana de plástico" (plastic banana). We still drunk it to the end, because "a good chemist likes alcohol" was our motto back then.

Zero grams sugar? That is not Sunny D

Real OGs go for this seltzer instead.

Every canned cocktail I've ever had was awful, but some people like them.

This is just a pre-made screwdriver.

"Orange juice, purple stuff... Sunny D Vodka! Thanks, mom!"

A younger me would sometimes go for what we called cosmonaut screwdrivers - vodka and tang

Mmmm tide pod vodka

Does it come in Tang flavor?

Screwdrivers with sunny d are better than regular OJ, IMO. The extra sweetness cuts out the alcohol taste more. But as a 0 sugar seltzer? The carbonic acid just makes alcohol like this taste like shit without added sugar.

I'll never understand how they can manage to make these pre-mixed liquor drinks so weak, yet they taste so strong. 4.5% is less alcohol than many beers. Are they just putting a teaspoon of liquor in these things and using artifical flavor to make it taste like vodka?

A good mixed drink should be about 30% liquor IMO. Your average liquor has an ABV of 40%, so unless my math is wrong, at a 30:70 ratio we should be in the 12% territory, not 4.5.

I dont drink alcohol myself, but isnt there some kind of drink, like the kind they mix up at bars, not sure the term for those kinds, that is just orange juice mixed with vodka? I must imagine this is intended to be similar but premade.

I prefer mine with rum

These are really bad. I bought the 4 pack and threw 2 of them away unopened. And I'll drink most anything.
