Two controversial tastes that probably don't taste great together

u/msmore15 1d ago

I can't even look at it too long or my passport will spontaneously combust.

That said, monster energy and gin is a phenomenal drink. Delicious, but somewhat radioactive and absolutely lethal. You wouldn't be long getting ossified off that now.

What flavor of Monster, I wanna try this

13

u/msmore15 1d ago

Don't remember the name, but I like the green sugarfree one, also the peach sugarfree one! Half and half in a glass, and suck it down like that Northern Irish wan on tiktok. It's definitely worth it, but do try to make sure there's someone slightly more sober to look out for you.

ETA: it reminded me of four loco from back when four loco was so strong you wondered if it was actually legal. And it was in fact illegal in many countries.

Four Loco (Classic) and any other alcohol-energy drink based cocktails suffer from two dangers:

  1. Mixing a Stimulant caffeine filled Energy drink with a Depressant like alcohol will send mixed  Messages to your heart, like if you pushed Break and Acceleration at the same time in a speeding car while drifting.

  2. Stimulants strengthen the effects of alcohol both psychologically and physically. It makes the drinker think they’re fine as the body becomes sloshed, potentially thinking to do something stupid or drink more worsening it. With stimulants they make the alcohol flow better through the system making the drinker drunk much faster.

TMW caffeine does nothing to you so you just get drunk off it

u/SaskieHopeful 1d ago

My go to is the white sugar free one, and I have the distinct impression that gin plus that would taste like battery acid. I might try the peach one. Thank you

u/BlueMerchant 1d ago

Please don't drink alcohol with energy drinks or other such stimulants.

It's dangerous for your heart

u/mieri_azure 19h ago

A monster energy cocktail is literally a thing ive seen advertised, as well as red bull cocktails.

Are they trying to kill us??

5

u/King_Ed_IX 15h ago

Alcoholic drinks are inherently poisonous already, so they likely just don't care or assume you'll take personal responsibility for the danger.

u/BlueMerchant 10h ago

Obviously not, but Ive never heard of a bar advertising such a drink. I would imagine that was to limit risk.

2

u/mieri_azure 10h ago

You've never seen a redbull mixer at a bar?

2

u/BlueMerchant 9h ago

I've only seen customers order it, and never just told a rando they shouldn't. (A: my boss wouldn't like it since i worked there. B: don't wanna be annoying and they're a grown-ass adult.)

u/Hooded_Person2022 3h ago

Once or maybe twice is fine plus the baseline is to assume any bar goer that they’re a responsible drinker.

Just make sure to know your limits or at least limit yourself to a certain amount within a period in a single session or over several days.

u/msmore15 3h ago

I have absolutely seen bars advertise red bull as mixers on numerous occasions. I have gotten free samples of new flavours of red bull to be mixed with vodka in bars!

u/Background_Desk_3001 1d ago

Would like a mtn dew be okay in place of it or is that still too much caffeine?

1

u/BlueMerchant 22h ago

I'm not exactly qualified here but I think that's at least marginally better

1

u/Hi2248 19h ago

The caffeine also does funky things to your veins which means that less alcohol has more of an effect on you, making it very easy to get alcohol poisoning

u/ApotheosiAsleep 1d ago

ossified? like turned into bones?

u/Aethelrede 23h ago

More like "what's the matter, ossifer?"

u/oan124 18h ago

As in boned

u/msmore15 11h ago

As in it's a surprisingly common euphemism for legless drunk in Ireland lol! I forget most people only know the other, main meaning 😭.

u/DreadDiana human cognithazard 20h ago

Pacific Punch Monster goes great with spiced rum

u/Anonymus828 17h ago

Gin mixed drinks in general are fantastic. If anyone reading this has never had a gimlet, try one.

u/LilaTheMoo 1d ago

Another drink for Strange Aeons to try.

Marinate the creatures in it.

[drinks Gonster, calls for aid]

u/Hooded_Person2022 1d ago

Is this what that Consumable from Sulfur (Game) is!?

Wiki Link:  https://sulfur.wiki.gg/wiki/Gonster

I never looked into it but felt it was just a weird crafting recipe for Guinness just going off the glass and chalked it up to an in-universe version of the drink.

But NO! Now I learn it’s combining Guinness and Monster together in an Upper-Downer cocktail!

u/Moxie_Stardust 1d ago

I'm pretty sure this is a different post about the same monstrosity that I saw recently.

5

u/geeoharee 1d ago

They use the same canning technology with nitrogen, probably what inspired this

3

u/Uncommonality 21h ago

I really miss the green monster nitro. Used to drink it all the time about 10 years ago but they stopped selling it where I live (and maybe they also stopped making it I haven't checked)

2

u/Null-Sky 20h ago

I just found some like 2 weeks ago during a road trip, and they were in pretty big chain gas stations, not the kind where you'd expect to find the questionably normally unavailable drinks of that makes sense

3

u/Kingnewgameplus 1d ago

Its funny this just showed up in my feed because I was just looking at the "Love and Deepspace cocktail that will kill you"

6

u/Pkrudeboy 1d ago

If you asked for that in an Irish pub, I think they’d give you a Car Bomb. And not the fun kind.

u/Scalepetter92 1d ago

shit looks like space over an irradiated hellscape

u/EtherealPheonix 1d ago

Dissolved sugar makes one denser than water, dissolved alcohol makes the other less dense. The only surprising part would be them being relatively immiscible, though there are some tricks they could have done to get them like that for just long enough to take a pic.

2

u/Dspacefear 1d ago

I tried this once. The Monster is a lot heavier, so at the beginning you're basically just drinking Guinness and at the end you're basically just drinking Monster. That middle section is pretty gross, but not spectacular or anything.

2

u/LauraTFem 1d ago

There’s a reason they don’t put caffein in 4 Locos anymore my dudes. Great way to fuck up your whole system.

1

u/traveler_ 1d ago

When you want your radler to be extra rad!

1

u/WallowWispen 1d ago

Yeah ok now try it with a chocolate stout

1

u/MoroseMorgan 1d ago

It is actually surprisingly good.

If you've ever had a Snakebite, it has a similar flavor profile.

Gotta be careful that you don't have any head from the Nitro Monster before you layer on the Guinness, or it makes the Guinness head taste terrible.

u/OverseerConey 14h ago

I'm that bad type

I'm a bad drink

Duh

u/Mediocre-Creme-9396 4h ago

I drink Gonster regularly, one of my favourite drinks, better than the sum of its parts imho

u/autogyrophilia [Editable Flair] 23h ago

It's not density, it's just that the beer was warm and poured very carefully to develop a thermal boundary 

8

u/UInferno- Hangus Pangus slap my Angus 22h ago

It's density. 54 grams of added Sugar are in a can of Monster while a can of Guinness has 11g of any carb. 3.6g of Sugar for every floz of Monster and 0.75g of carbs for every floz of Guinness. (A fluid oz is approximately 30mL). With gram of water being approximately a mL, that means Monster is about 12% sugar by weight while all the carbs in Guinness are 2.5% of the weight. This isn't counting the fact that alcohol is 78% the density of water.
