*Interesting* Beverage
I am looking for an "interesting" alcoholic beverage in the style of Becherovka for my sis and her partner after last xmas's treat of Metzendorf and chocolate....any suggestions?
I have thought of the obvious, including the former, absinthe etc.....it need not necessarily be "nice" to drink.
Jaegermeister is an interesting cross between alcohol and cough mixture. Alternatively some Stroh 80 rum from Austria makes Absinthe look feeble, although it is better if you can get it duty free.
On Come Dine With Me recently there was a person who made up shots but the twist was adding Spacedust to jazz things up a touch.
Benefits - You can use what you want to personal taste and it is very cost effective, if you like the effect. I have not tried this.
The wife watches it. Honest 
Try a Brew Dog really strong beer. I've had their tactical nuclear penguin at 32% but they have one over 40% called Tokyo I think...
Ah, when you said interesting you meant horrid didn't you...?

Not quite (one suggestion from the cycling forums was electric soup which is not what I had in mind). Something a little eccentric, that requires an open mind to appreciate it, and might traditionally be consumed with some other foodstuff.....although admittedly becherovka as an example is pretty foul stuff...
I had thought of a something like this which is an *acquired* taste
This can be fun - especially for whomever plucks up the courage to eat the little critter....

Good suggestion Clare, however, my wife and I somehow managed to finish a bottle of this in one sitting. The last thing I remember from the night was eating the worm. I woke up the next morning lying very straight with my clothes on directly on top of my wife with our noses squashed against each other. Metallica was playing For Whom the Bell Tolls on repeat, god only knows how long it had been spinning and this was on half volume, so very loud. I had managed to somehow taken every cd cover out of it's case ( + 300) and spread them around the room in some random way.
The cat was very happy though as he had the remains of a prime aged rump stake cooked rare in his bowl.,which I had russled up for him and was oblivious to Metallica passed out on the rug.
It was the incredible amount of peanuts in the bath that still remains an utter mystery not to mention a somewhat scowly neighbor.
The strange thing was I didn't have a hangover. It still took a long time before ' that Metallica track graced the Hi Fi again.
Oh my suggestion was Tequila infused with theTrinidad Scorpion Chili. It makes my eyes buldge and I have trouble feeling my legs for a few mins.
Failing this. Creme de Menth is always a winner
Long Island Iced Tea?
Not what it says on the tin 
Tastes and feels innocuous until you try to stand up 
SteveR750:it need not necessarily be "nice" to drink
So what you're saying is they bought you something really disgusting and you want to return the favour?
How about one of the nice drinks with real gold flakes (gold leaf) suspended in them, like Goldschlager (Cinnamon Schnapps with gold flakes).
How about a nice cup of tea? Hmmm, I once drank a whole pot of that, crazy days, I napped all afternoon that day I can tell you! Stay off the assam though, that stuff'll kill you...
I'm a Ceylon Orange Pekoe man, myself. English breakfast makes me too agressive.
The world's greatest oxymoron, a nice cup of tea. I once inadvertantly drank some iced tea in the US thinking it was coke, nearly threw up.the_lhc:How about a nice cup of tea?
A good Calvados can be a very pleasant and interesting drink.
