would you drink it?

I have two bottles of rum cooler that have been in the fridge since Christmas. I don't drink a lot, but right now these two bottles are calling me.
I can't find an expiry date on them... do you think that kind of thing goes bad?

Or maybe they're like wine and get better with age?

In my dad's bar we weren't supposed to keep them on the shelves for more than 3 months but I don't know how old they were when we got them and they never lasted more than a few weeks anyway

They've been refridgerated, as long as they haven't been opened, I'd most certainly drink them.

I bet they're fine
Just pop the top and sniff one to see if it smells right before you drink it
If it does, i'm sure it'd be ok to have them

as the song goes "there might be a little dust on the bottle..." I'd at least open one and sniff it. As long as it isn't milk based I don't think there would be a problem.

It's fruit flavored but I don't think there's any real fruit in it.
At worst, the sugar will have fermented and it'll have a higher percentage of alcohol.

Those things don't tend to have seriously perishable things in them. It's been in the fridge. It's only four months. It's got booze in it. Drink up. *hic* And have a fine time.*hic*

I like the way you think, Fran!

They're fine. I've had rum coolers that were over 6 months old but they were in the fridge and when I opened them they tasted just fine. So I would definitely drink them but then again I have drank pretty much everything that's been thrown at me.
