We just came from our post-distribution lunch/beer party at McCabe’s, where I forced people to drink Zwack because I was buying. After a shot of plain Zwack, we decided to experiment with Zwack mixers and rate them. Below are our ratings, with 1 being drinkable and 10 being awful (Zwacktastic):
Drink _________ Becky ________ Aaron ________ Jeanette 2-Zwacka Bomb 2 2 1 Zwack n' Cran 3 3 2 Zwack n' Orange 2 3 1
As you can see, we were all surprised by how not-awful these drinks were, some verging on tastiness, even. Our tasting notes:
From Jeanette, on 2-Zwacka Bomb: "I would order this as a shot. And actually pay for it.
Aaron on Zwack n’ Orange: "This sort of tastes like eggnog. Smoky, thicker eggnog, fermented in the tears of those oppressed by Communism."
Becky, after quickly downing her Zwack shot: "That’s not that bad."
McCabe’s employee Marianne, on Zwack n’ Orange: "Gah! That’s naaaasty. It tastes like vomit."
All of us, on whether we wanted to order more Zwack: "No, thank you."

Are you talking about the unicum shit? in the black round bottle? it tastes like tires. when i had a bar one of my bartenders ordered it, we used to dare people to drink it. i had it for two years after i sold the place, and finally threw it away.
It’s the aftertaste that gets ya. I had Zwack Wednesday night and after repeated tooth brushings the after-Zwack was still there.
All I can say is:

I have to say that Zwack is just about one of the most crude, absurd and amusing conversation pieces ever. This is a recent conversation between Andrew and I posted with his permission and insistence:
me: I personally could go for a non-alcoholic beverage
I swear to god, I’ve brushed my teeth like 4 times today
andrew: okee dokee
me: and I still have this weird aftertaste
andrew: hahahaha
me: that I can only attribute to Zwack
andrew: mmmm zwack aftertaste nothing like the taste of fresh zwack
me: I was telling —–, that Zwack may smell like crotch but the aftertaste is like unwashed Zwack
andrew: if you chill it
me: hehe. yeah?
andrew: and serve it in a glass on a day like today
with high humidity is that a sweaty zwack?
me: hahahha
This not only proves my point about Zwack, it also proves the embarassing fact that Drew and I have the maturity level of 14-year-olds.
