Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about “black alcoholic beverages” lately, and I got curious. I mean, what even is that? So, I decided to do a little digging and, of course, try some stuff out myself. It’s all about the experience, right?
My Little Experiment Begins
First, I hit up the internet to see what I could find. I found a few things, but I quickly felt that I could try these in person.
Then, I went to the biggest liquor store near my house. You know, the one with, like, a million aisles? I was initially overwhelmed. But after searching the place I finally focused on a few bottles.
- Black Vodka:It’s just black. My understanding of vodka is that it should be clear, so I was curious to try it.
- Dark Rum:It looked very dark brown. I’ve never drunk rum before, so I decided to give it a try.
- Something with Coffee Liqueur:I found a few of these drinks that had coffee liqueur in them, and they were all black. I ended up just picking one at random.
The Tasting
Alright, time for the fun part. With my newly acquired black beverages in hand, I decided to hold a tasting party with a few friends, just to make it more fun.
First, we tried out the black vodka. When I opened the bottle, there was no difference from regular vodka, but in the glass, it was pure black! But, honestly, it just tasted like…vodka. Nothing special, in my humble opinion. It would have been nice if it had a special flavor, but that was not the case.
Next, the rum. It was strong, dark, and it tasted like sweet molasses. A friend really liked it, but it was a bit too strong for my personal taste. I don’t think I’ll ever buy it again.
Finally, we ended up with the coffee liqueur. It was black, sweet, and coffee-flavored. Another friend said he liked it, but honestly, the taste was pretty standard, too.
My Final Thoughts
So, after all that, what’s my verdict on black alcoholic beverages? It was an experience! Some were just visually interesting, some I like, and some were not for me. So, next time you are looking for a drink, check out some of these, you might like it.
