Is it worth spending £21.49 (US approx. $42) on a 700ml bottle of Hpnotiq Liqueur?

Question

ok, so it is turquoise, which may be fun, but its only 17 percent alc., i find it a bit odd spending that much on a bottle of something if its only 17 percent, unless of course its champagne, but to be honest, it looks rather cheap, tacky and cheesy even if "celebrities" drink it.. um, and a bit rather like anti freeze..

so, is it worth that price tag? is it actually that good or is it just the turquoise gimmick? thanks

Answer 1

A fifth of hypnotic in the states (Michigan) runs between 20 and 25 dollars, so yes I would say that is a lot to spend.

I like it.  It is good mixed with some lemonade or if you want to make shots, mix it with some Hennessy to make an Incredible Hulk.

Answer 2

Nah, I'd say no. I mean, you could mix something that would taste just as good. You're probably just paying for the food coloring, lol. It's made out of Cognac, tropical fruit juice, and vodka. I bet if you mixed those it would be just as yummy.  

Answer 3

The taste isn't that bad, abit on the sweeter side but

it's a cool drink

but yes

you are paying a little over for a 700ml bottle

You should be paying about £18 (Roughly 30 US)

I mean it isn't that much of a difference and it isnt champagne

its a mix of vodka, cognac and juice

Answer 4

Depends how fast you go through a bottle..

Answer 5

NO!  Have vodka tonic or vodka redbull and buy a couple blacklights.

Answer 6

It sounds vile......if drink was meant to be turquoise we would be able to grow turquoise grapes!

Answer 7

42 dollars is a little high... Hypnotic is pretty tasty, but I think you're being overcharged a tad.  

Answer 8

Depends on how you want to spend your money. What about a cheaper bottle and a good steak or some shrimp? Eh!!??
