Yeah, this just happened randomly. I'd finished a bottle of dry cider and being quite fond of luridly coloured and flavoured alcopops it struck me that you could make one using the Berocca-style tablets that you dissolve in a glass of water to make a slightly fizzy fruit flavoured vitamin drink.
You can either use the original Berocca tablets or the generic supermarket equivalent that costs a lot less. But having said that, the Berocca version does have dancing lumberjacks associated with it. (one of whom IS actually a lumberjack.)
So you take your flavoured fizzy tablet and bang it in a glass of water, add a shot of vodka and bingo. Instant rehydrated alcopop complete with fizz, lurid colour and "fruity taste".
The primary advantage being that your little tube of dollar-store fizzy tablets effectively contains 20 alcopops when augmented with water and vodka. Perfect for travel or emergency late-night workshop libations.
Note that these tablets do contain vitamins and stuff, so avoid taking too many in one evening. Probably still less toxic than actual alcopops though.
It should also be noted that these tablets have the unusual ability to turn your pee fluorescent yellow.

I have tried those kinds of tablets a few times in the past, but they do not usually taste very good so I haven't even considered using them with alcohol 🙂
Last year my twin sis gave me something similar, and when she later explained, I thought she was kidding. Well, what you've just demonstrated is excellent. Now I can do the same back to her!
With vitamin c for added "goodness"😅
love
You know what, this is really good. I had some generic multivitamin tablets (tropic flavoured) and a smaller shot of tuzemak (rum made from potatoes or beet) and it tastes lovely. Surprisingly so
Ah yes, the Berodka. This is how we survived festivals back in the day.
Airborne tablets could also be used for this. Except they're about $6 a tube in the US for some reason. And Dollar Tree doesn't carry a rip-off of them as far as I can tell.
Another good use for those pseudo beroccas is to slip it in the pocket of someone's swimming trunks just before they put them on. Shortly after they enter the pool,. It will appear that they are peeing themselves.
I think Redoxon was the original brand.
Berocca and vodka
Post-holocaustal mimosa
ned ;P
Try it with a packet of 'screech' the British Army rehydration drink powder, go on, i Dare ya 😛
