I'd probably say Jagermeister. Have also had a Long Island Iced Tea - not nice, and Desperados (tequila flavoured lager) - very drinkable.

something in Tunisia called bucha or something ... phew! :-) Joy

Two B52s in happy hour after work. Didn't know what they were, even the name didn't give me a clue! Have no idea what I did next or how I got home. Discovered a lovely Lemon drink last year on holiday - 70% proof! Daisy

TVR's (Tequilla, Vodka and Redbull) on a rugby tour with me as one of the boys for the weekend!! Can't bear Tequilla now although Jan and Rick will tell you different apparently!! :O)

Long Island Ice tea is VERY strong!?!? I've had absinthe (68% vol) Becx (with a hangover)

I seem to remember Thunderbird was a bit powerfull. Elaine x

Daisy.... B52's are my favorite shooter.... I used to play heads or tails with a barman in Windsor for these..... heads I paid and tales I didn't..... god did I suffer the following day!! :O)

several years ago i went round a friends for tea as he and his wife had just come home from the west country. So we had home made bread ,home made cheese and Scrumpy. About half seven we decided to go down the pub. We couldnt stand!!

Locally made Romanian plum brandy - can't remember the spelling, but it's pronounced 'slivovitz'. Blows your head off. Latvian Kummel - which is made, I think, from caraway seeds, and boucha - Tunisian fig liqueur - Joy's tipple. Heady stuff in a bedouin tent! CB >|<

I did go through a fairly big tequila and sambuca phase - never did put the flame out with my hand lol, but I can't even stand the smell these days.

Roxanne - you'd think the name would have given me a clue wouldn't you? I was a very naive 21 year old and the whole office was in on it! Daisy

When I repped in Ayia Napa we had to do a punishment called a 'Ladyboy' (aka Alan Partridge) You have to down: 1/2 a pint of lager A Gin and Tonic A large Baileys As the Baileys hits your stomach the drinks all curdle... the boy reps used to insist on re-drinking the cocktail if it come up again (if you get what I mean) Becx (now feels sick)

Had a sip of home made Poteen.....phew, a sip was enough! Christine

Christine Is that the clear Irish fire water?

my favourite cocktail is Caipirinha (cachaca - white rum, lime, sugar and crushed ice)

HI Malc, yes, blows the head off you! LOL Think it was made from potatoes! Christine

Can remember trying some Polish Spirit, years ago. Dont know what strength it was but OMG. Never ever again. Jenny.
