What is the favorite drink of poor American ex-pats living in a shack in Dar es Salaam? Well, that would be Konyagi and Tang. More specifically, Konyagi and WARM Tang since we don’t have a fridge. And it tastes exactly as delicious and refreshing as it sounds.See, Konyagi is a popular Tanzanian alcohol served with Coke or Krest (a slightly flavored soda water). It is popular because it is cheap…really cheap. 3000 tsh ($2.65) for half a liter of 35% alcoholic fun.
What is Konyagi? Well, if one reads the ingredient list on the back of the bottle, Konyagi is “”FINE SPIRIT, KONYAGI FLAVOUR, DE-IONISED WATER”. Two things about that list: number one, there is nothing “fine” about Konyagi...at all, and number two, we have no idea what gives Konyagi its “KONYAGI FLAVOUR” , which is best described as cheap, watered down vodka mixed with cheaper gin.
So, next time any of you are out a at bar and looking for a new drink to impress all your friends...order a Konyagi and warm Tang—The Official Drink of poor American ex-pats that lock themselves in their bedroom every night™.
