Sidekick ( vodka drink )

Had some of this for the first time yesterday, wow how nice is that stuff, I had the cookies & cream flavour, I've got to say it has to be one of the best tasting drinks I've ever had , at 14.5% though you could get drunk without realising it with this stuff, I'll definately be buying some more of this, think I'll try the mint choc chip next time

I had strawberry flavour last week at a BBQ. It was yummy but I did certainly notice I was getting tipsy. Just going to look at different flavours too.

Love the mint, there is also chocolate orange. Thats tasty. The strawberry one is nice!

I always see this stuff and say I'll try it, but then I have more drink and forget.

Is this the stuff that comes in the plastic shot glasses with a foil seal over the top? Ah, on checking it seems it is related but now they've moved into doing bottles of it, a fairly bland alcopop from what I remember although I must admit I've not drunk it in a good number of years.

Surely just different flavoured Baileys? =P

Getting drunk + milk/cream = bad idea for me.

But baileys over ice on a hot day and only staying tipsy is ok.

Not an alcopop, its 14.5% and tasty. Far far better than that awful corkys stuff.

What's the hangover like, at a guess a bit of a stonker?

Did these used to come in plastic shot glasses that you could "attach" to the top of your glass?

Ok, my mistake. It's a bit stronger than a typical alcopop but I'd still be tempted to lump it in that class of drinks, it's designed to be a sweet easily consumed alcohol.

It's from the same company, those were the things that I was remembering.

That's how I see it as well.

Haven't drank any of these in years, but I do remember them being quite sickly/sugary and mouth-coating. Not my cup of tea!

Children.

So it's the same strength as wine but aimed at girls who don't like the taste of booze?

Saurz. Or however you spell it.

That and sambuca, especially when you light it, are much better for shots.

Ahhh didn't know that Sidekick was still around. I had them while at uni back in 2001, and yes, they were in small plastic shots with foil top. At a pound a pop and only half a unit each time, it would have been expensive to get drunk on it.

Does not beat a Cham 69...

That drink will knock you off your feet after a few glasses
