A very quaffable bottle of fendant. An afternoon wine really but very respectable.

Four pints of Reverend James by Brains.
Heavenly.

I might have another later after I drop my wife and her friends in town.

My friend bought me a Naked Smoothie and that was really nice but nothing that blew me away.

The search continues OP.

I can't think of anything in termsof drinks less appealing. I think i'd have to be pretty desperate, (for example stuck in the middle of the Saharah Desert with nothing else to drink) to drink tepid water.

A bottle of M&S lemon and ginger pop......it was excellent and came in a bottle with a proper old fashioned seal top like a Kilner jar

I've kept the bottle........

I haven't had that for YEARS! It used to be my favorite childhood drink, although it was a rare treat for some reason even compared to Coca-Cola!

I believe it was withdrawn from sale after it was exposed in the media as being a particularly nasty chemical concoction, tooth-rottingly high in sugar and with virtually no fruit in it whatsoever. Letting a child have Coca Cola is tantamount to child abuse for similar reasons.

At the time though as a child, I couldn't have cared less if it had contained petrol or rat poison.

I had some very nice jasmine flower tea t'other day. I know a lot of the fun is watching the head unfurl in the glass but this one was an excellent flavour also. One of the best I've had in Europe.

Bleugh! Tried that and found it well too sweet for my tastes

Best thing I've drunk this year was a bottle of that there alcoholic Iron Brew; on sale and tasted perfect chilled

I had some iced tea thing in M&S which was nice.

Apart from that, I've been existing on water or (when I'm feeling crazy) lime and soda.
