Do you think Balsamic vinegar would be a good Alcoholic drink mix?

Answer 1

Some use balsamico mixed with water. I might prefer apple-vinegar instead, also mixed with water or even with some soft drink. But it may be best to use a cocktail with normal wine and cola, or wine and orange juice.

Answer 2

Personally, I would have to say no. Though, and I have to say that I have seen a lot of vinegar drinks in convenience stores (I currently live in Taipei, Taiwan and vinegar drinks are popular here), and have tried a couple that are not that bad, but I think Balsamic vinegar might be a little too heavy. Plus, I think that vinegar may enhance the dehydration caused by alcohol.

Answer 3

Well, I have something that is super simple but works really good for a cocktail party. We have this chain of stores out here (in So-Cal) called "Smart & Final". What they are is a restaurant supply - but any restaurant supply will do. And, they sell these gigantic cans of chili (ya know, Chili con Carne and Chili with or without beans - you get the picture). Anyways, I'd get probably about 2 of those for 15 people and put a can of it at a time in a crockpot and get that heated up before the guest get there. And then I put some condiments out of whatever sounds good on chili. Onions, cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, oyster crackers, chiles, and so on. Those big cans of chili run $7 to $10 each can and about $10 in condiments. And I make some killer cornbread (or cornbread muffins). There's a good mix from El Torito Restaurant that's sold in the grocery stores (it calls for a can of creamed corn) but whatever you like. Cost: Probably less than $10. Then, I have a tray of cut up veggies and some cut up fresh fruit. Cost: Probably $10/each tray if you get them ready made - less if you cut the stuff up yourself. And cheesecake. If you're not much on baking, get those ready-made graham cracker crust pie shells in the baking supplies isle at the grocery store and Philadelphia cream cheese makes a tub of their cheesecake filling (where the cream cheese is located). You could also get those individual graham cracker crusts. And get a can (or a couple) of pie filling (also in baking isle) and make some cheesecakes plain and with different fruit toppings. Cost: Probably about $20 total for everything. So, I think you could do this food for $80 or less. That would leave you about $40 for liquor. Sangria is red wine and cut up fresh citrus. If you have a Trader Joe's, they have that Two Buck Chucks (aka Charles Shaw wine) and so you get a few of those, cut up some oranges, lemons, & limes - do about $10 of sangria. Then, you have $30 left. Go hit some good sales on some beers - it's Memorial Weekend so there should be some good sales on beer - I hear Fresh & Easy has some microbewery that has 12 bottles for, I think I heard $6. And lastly, some jello shooters. A big bottle of whatever Vodka is on sale - does not have to be the good stuff. Get a few different flavors of jello and it's one pack of jello, the amount of hot water as stated on the box and the cold water is replaced by using the Vodka. The restaurant supply that sells the cans of chili has different individual shot-glass sized disposable "cups". Who doesn't have fun have some jello shooters? All this work can be done way before your guest arrive and then you just put it out and you won't have to do a bunch of work - you can enjoy your party. Good luck - have a great Memorial Weekend!

Answer 4

Um.. i consider myself a connoisseur of mixed drinks and HELL no Balsamic vinegar would not be good. The acid combined with alcohol would give terrible heartburn. Plus it would not mix well with any liquor that I can think of...but if you try it...good luck. Don't burn up your esophagus!!

Answer 5

A very fine balsamic can be enjoyed on its own -- a tiny amount for sipping in a cordial glass.

Another use is on strawberries. You'll be surprised how sweet it makes the berries, and the depth of the flavor!

Answer 6

LOL I love vinegar..........I once took a shot of it on a dare and it was a very bad idea. I could not breath for a long time i dont reccomend it to anyone

Answer 7

It's got a bit of a kick so I would suggest to mix it in shots rather than not! Add Sambuca for a bit of flavor too!

Answer 8

Well, I'm pretty adventurous with food and drink. I'd say why the heck not (although I can't imagine what it would be good with...)!

Answer 9

I took a shot of it on a dare and I would have to say that I don't think it would be.

Answer 10

Uhh...no. I can't really think of a drink that even would taste good with it.. sorry.
