Wetherspoon now serving 'worst drink in the world' as new cocktail is added to menu

Appletiser, anyone? Wait, what did you say? Bubble-tiser?

The iconic pub chain is already home to a range of cocktails, and anyone who's ever opted for entire pitcher of the stuff will know they're a popular choice.

But the Bubbletiser takes that to a whole new level, because it's literally inspired by a sweet. A fruity, chewy, straight-from-your-childhood sweet.

In case the name didn't get it away, allow me to share the ingredients.

With bubblegum-flavoured vodka as its base, the cocktail features bubblegum syrup and apple juice, before being topped with lemonade for a little added sugar boost, as if there wasn't enough going on in there already.

Just writing that made my teeth hurt - it's definitely not for everyone.

Things didn't get much better over on Twitter, where one user posted a picture of the Bubbletiser and wrote: "Regret to inform everyone that wetherspoons is now serving the worst drink in the world."

"Oh NO absolutely not," one horrified person responded, while another simply added: "CLOSE IT DOWN."

It has to be said, though, the drink has got a few people intrigued.

One Reddit user admitted they were 'really curious how apple and bubblegum go together', while another argued the Bubbletiser 'actually sounds great'.

One person indicated they'd actually tried the drink, and while they didn't exactly give it rave reviews, it wasn't bad enough to warrant the title of the 'worst drink in the world'.

The Reddit user, who implied they worked at the pub, wrote: "This is a trial menu being put out across Wetherspoon pubs in the UK. All of the signature cocktails are from what we already had behind the bar that we weren't selling enough of. The bubbletiser sounds rank but isn't too awful."

I guess there's only one way we'll know for sure. Spoons, anyone?

Wetherspoon has declined to comment on the drink.
