Trying to find the name of the German sugar packets you can take with a shot of vodka...?

Question

I was at a party with a bunch of Germans and they had these packages of flavored sugar, like Kool-aid or Fun Dip, that you put in your mouth, followed by a shot of vodka and then swished them together. Mine was orange. Does anyone know what these are called or where I can order them online?

Answer 1

It's "Ahoi-Brause". Drinking it with Vodka is usually called "Vodka-Ahoi". The Brause comes in different flavors (Lemon (yellow), strawberry (red/pink), woodruff (green), and Orange (orange), and can only be baught in combination packages of about, I think, six double sachets. It is really popular in Germany right now as a way to take shots.

It's not only sugar, though. The original use of the "Brause" was for it to be a kind of instant lemonade. It's carbonated, and when you dissolve it in tab water, it creates a carbonated/sparkling drink. IT doesn't taste that good, though, and usually people/kids just put the dry powder in their hand and l**k it up, cause the fizzing of the powder is the fun part in eating it. That's what makes it so great for taking it with Vodka, too. Buit careful: YOu can't take more than one or two sachels of it with Vodka, cause it wont dissolve properl while in your mouth and instead does that in your stomach. Not that good if you overdo it!

I'm sorry, even though I researched it, I couldn't find a place where you could order it online.
