Zwack: the unfreshmaker! : Newspeakblog.com

Food and Drink

June 08



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.
