I definitely would not call this drink wonderful, it is utter vulgar and should not be served in bars unless like you say in a cocktail that might take the vile taste down a notch. Even if you drank this with a power juice i am sure that it would still blow your head off!

There are several forums devoted to this wonderful drink, and there are many suggestions as to how to drink it (and how not to drink it). So for many people the drink itself is OK (although that could depend on the brand too). Better luck next time!
