What is the World’s Worst Cocktail? Watch and find out!

In this video, Rico teams up with the crème de la crème of New Orleans, Louisiana to tackle the mission of rating and finding the world’s worst cocktail!

Who would want to do that?! Well, you’d be surprised! Joining Rico are Mason Hereford and Lauren Agudo from Turkey and the Wolf, Phil Cenac from Hungry Eyes, Nathan Barfield from Hot Stuff, and Colleen Quarls from Molly’s Rise and Shine.

The crew bravely tastes four “delicious” shots—the Tapeworm, Shells & Snaps, the Prairie Oyster, and the Bloody Brain. They’re also given a little – ahem – “palate cleanser” in the form of some Swedish Salty Licorice

Now let’s look at what’s in store for our brave panelists!

Tapeworm
Most people wouldn’t be able to get beyond the look of this shot, which quite literally looks like, errrrrr, a tapeworm. The Tapeworm shot has gained a reputation for being one of the most outrageous, both in appearance and flavor.

It mixes Absolut Peppar, a dash of hot sauce, ground black pepper, and a squirt of mayonnaise, it challenges even the most adventurous drinkers. 

As the panelists eye the shot, the question is: will they muster up the courage to give it a try?

Shells & Snaps
Next, the guests are invited to experience both Swedish midsummer and a Swedish crayfish party (kräftskiva) – both at once. A chilled shot of Absolut Vodka paired with a crayfish – skål! And yes, wearing a midsummer wreath (“midsommarkrans”) on your head and having a tiny maypole (“midsommar stång”) next to your glass is absolutely mandatory.

Will the visiting panelists fully embrace their visit to Sweden, or will they “offend” the nation by passing up this tradition?  

The Prairie Oyster
The Prairie Oyster is one of the oldest and most notorious shots of them all. Made with egg yolk, Cognac, Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice, hot pepper sauce, malt vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Yes, it’s a challenge!

As the panelists prepare to try this “unique shot”, they’ll be putting their taste buds and courage to the test, curious to see if its status meets their dread! 

The Bloody Brain
There’s no other way to say it nor play it down – the Bloody Brain shot is horrifyingly gory to look at, resembling, well, a bleeding brain. 

Despite its gory appearance, the Bloody Brain shot is actually sweet, creamy, zesty—and dare we say—delicious! But we didn’t tell the panelists. 

Made with Absolut Wild Berri, fresh lime juice, Irish Cream Liqueur, and a splash of grenadine, it’s a nice surprise shock for those brave enough to try it!
