A pub's mixologists have combined Guinness and Smirnoff Ice to create a new cocktail called "Badger" - and you might feel queasy just looking at it.

The strange-looking tipple consists of a bottle of the sugary, vodka-based, 90s alcopop, and half a pint of the Irish dry stout, Guinness .

When poured into a pint glass after the Smirnoff Ice , the unmistakably black Guinness, with its white head, floats on top of the silvery liquid.

And the overall effect is more than a little disconcerting.

Badger was created by staff at The Marine Boathouse in Skegness, Lincs, as part of the Young Farmers Weekend celebrations.

Pictures of the drink were posted on Facebook , with the caption: "Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! It’s amazing!"

And it's fair to say the cocktail - fittingly - has had a mixed response.

One person, who was at least tempted by it, wrote: "It’s blasphemy and heaven at the same time, I’m not sure how I feel about this."

Another was less uncertain, adding: "Dreadful waste of good Guinness."

"You’ll feel rough as a badger’s ars* after a few of them," added someone else, while another called it the "weirdest drink ever."

Several people claimed they had invented the drink years ago, while others alluded to failed attempts to mix a successful Badger at home.
