Launched in 1988, Taboo was a mixture of Vodka, wine and fruit juices. One of the first 'alcopops', it enjoyed huge success in the late eighties and early nineties, but in recent years it's sales have slumped and it's parent company, First Drink, has done very little to promote it. Here we look at Taboo and give it a makeover.Skittles

Pour all the ingredients, except the lemonade, into a shaker and shake with ice. Pour into a pint glass and top up with lemonade. It tastes like green Skittles!
