They have those Christmas buckets of Pinacolada mixer at Big W at Macarthur Central for $1. I bought one figuring I could use the bucket for something even if it was undrinkable.

I didnt want to waste any spirits on it, so I dosed it up with two bottles of rough white that I bought off Grays back when they had a $20 voucher, $9 a case. So they were 70 cents each.

Froze it with the mix, and it does taste a bit nasty, very artificial. But after about three glasses you dont notice so much.

$1 for the bucket and $1.40 for the wine adds up to $2.40 for 20 pinacolada drinks. About 12 cents each. It tastes a bit wobbly but you can't complain for that price.

      I had another three glasses after the kid went to sleep. I tried posting the deal on Ozbargain then but I couldnt really hit the keys on my phone very well.

      The wife came home and said I smelt like Windex.

        well i hope you took that opportunity to tell her you voluntarily cleaned the windows!

    Hmm, I'm thinking the nastiness came more from that cheap white…. Worse than cask wine or goon bag that'd have to be!!!!

      Yeah, we used a bucket and it was surprisingly good.

      But I'm not sure what it was dosed up with because I didn't mix it.

      It was actually a lot better than using cheap vodka. Someone at work mixed one of those buckets with a bottle of Kirov and she said it was absolutely undrinkable, and she'd drink just about anything.

    +1 for thinking that you can at least use the bucket for something else.
    True Ozbargain style!

      I suppose I could chunder in it after I finish all the pinocolada drinks.

      Would need to make sure it was empty though.

    Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
    Mix it up with some rough white, and use the bucket for a gain.
