Advantages: Cant taste the alcohol

Disadvantages: full of sugar and cals

I am not a drinker at all and I can't remember the last time I had an alcoholic beverage. For the last three years of my life I have either been pregnant or breastfeeding so it's definately been as long and probably longer than that. The other night I fancied a change from the usual routine of family life and since we couldn't get a baby sitter, my hubby and I opted for a few drinkies instead. I remebered these fondly from my 'clubbing' days and decided to have a bottle or two.

For all of you who may be thinking 'Oh how awful that she had a drink whilst still breastfeeding her child', you'll be pleased to know that I expressed away the following mornings feed so that Elijah didn't experience any of the alcohol.

It comes in a glass bottle and you can clearly see the contents through the glass. It is a shocking blue colour and contains 5% of alcohol in the mixture. It cost me £8 for four bottles at my local Coop which shocked me a little because I remember the days when I could pick up a huge crate of these for a fiver.

The taste of the drink is really fruity but in a weird sort of way. The only other way I can describe it is by saying that it reminds me exactly of the bright , blue ice pops that you can get. I think they are called Mr Freeze.

The drink is very gassy and I found that my tummy started to hurt after a few mouthfuls due to the air that was entering my stomuch. Despite this it went down very easily and I could have just as well have been drinking a fizzy pop because I couldn't taste the alcohol in the liquid at all. This is a great thing for people that hate the taste of alcohol especially vodca which is the beverage that is included in this liquid.

After drinking three bottles of this drink, I didn't feel in the slightest bit tipsy which really shocked me considering I hadn't touch a drop of alcohol in ages. I thought I'd be swinging from the lampshades after one!

I shocked to see that this drink was full of sugar and calories and I did think that I wouldn't bother with them again because I could easily drink lots of them without even thinking about the calorie content as they go down so easily. I think I would rather have a few bars of my favourite chocolate and not feel tipsy to be honest.

This is a really nice drink but I just don't think it's worth sacrificing all of those calories. I wouldn't buy it again but I would recommend it to all you who hate the taste of alcohol as you can't really taste it at all.

Summary: Not for me thank you!
