Alcohol is cool, right? Many people enjoy a good drink now and then. For many people, the first sip of booze after a long day's work or a stressful situation is a feeling like no other. And of course, it's something that only adults can do, so kids and teenagers often look at it with awe, awaiting the day they finally have the chance to try this seemingly wonder-drink that will immediately transport them to a state of bliss.
However, getting to this point often requires a lot of prior experience with alcohol. For many people, alcoholic beverages often carry a surprisingly bitter taste that takes some getting used to. Therefore, many people trying alcohol for the first time, especially children or teenagers for whom booze has long been a Forbidden Fruit, tend to react poorly to the taste. The association of alcohol with euphoria and relaxation often makes said abrasive taste a shock to those with little drinking experience, who expect drinking to be a calming experience from start to finish. Seasoned drinkers may argue that, used properly, the harsh taste of alcohol enhances its relaxing properties, encouraging one to take things slowly, carefully considering each sip, but again, it often takes some time to get to this point.
May result in a Spit Take. Or simply a grimace from a teenager trying to look cool in front of their friends. Or an utterance of "I think I'm going to be sick".
Can overlap with Gargle Blaster, though not necessarily as this trope is meant to say more about the drinker's lack of experience than the drink itself. May occur with the cloudy, overproof hooch produced by a Hillbilly Moonshiner.
Also doesn't necessary overlap with Can't Hold His Liquor, since this has to do with reacting poorly to the taste of alcohol rather than becoming intoxicated. If a parent forces a child to experience the bitter taste of alcohol to cure them of their desire for it, it's a Radish Cure. Compare A Tankard of Moose Urine, which is about bad tasting alcohol in general. May happen to Kids Raiding the Wine Cabinet. Contrast Beergasm.

In Jack, while the titular character is in a state of depression, he takes advantage of the fact that he is a 10-year old with the physical body of a 40-year old to go to a bar and have his first alcoholic beverage. He orders a Shirley Temple, and he starts to drink, to which he first reacts by doing a Spit Take. After a few more sips of it, however, he grows accustomed to the drink (the Shirley Temple is an odd choice for this trope, since it's traditionally a non-alcoholic cocktail, and even rather kid-friendly due to its sweetness).

One Young Justice event saw all the teen superheroes being turned into adults while the adult superheroes were all reverted to childhood. During this time, Tim Drake (who was Robin at the time) became an adult and took advantage of the situation to visit a bar and hang out with his dad, who is unaware that it's Tim. He decides to try having a beer but immediately spits it out all over his dad.

The Big Bang Theory: This happens nearly every time Sheldon is knowingly introduced to alcohol. In one episode, he visits Penny at the bar of The Cheesecake Factory, takes a sip, and spits it back into the glass. Interestingly enough, if he isn't informed about the presence of alcohol, the taste doesn't seem to bother him, such as an early episode where Penny offered him a "virgin Cuba Libre"(a rum and coke without the rum) that turned out to be "a little slutty".

The Incredible Hulk (1977): In the pilot movie, Death in the Family, the Hulk encounters a hobo at a campfire, eating discarded fried chicken. When the hobo sits still, too flummoxed to do anything, Hulk concludes the hobo is no threat and sits opposite him at the campfire. The hobo offers the Hulk a piece of chicken, which he sniffs warily, then eats it "bones 'n' all." Then the hobo offers Hulk some of his whiskey, which the Hulk also sniffs, then begins to drink. Stunned by the alcohol, he spits the stuff into the campfire, which makes it flare up. This sends the Hulk roaring away from the site.

Invoked on The Walking Dead. After Daryl and Beth are separated from the rest of their group in Season 4, a despondent Beth decides it's time to try alcohol and tries to drink from a bottle of Peach Schnapps. Daryl decides this is a terrible first drink, angrily smashes the bottle, and takes Beth to a moonshine still that he had previously discovered. Beth is, of course, disgusted by the taste of the backwater hooch.

Original Life has a downplayed example: Fisk and Elizabeth's bokukko daughter Janie challenges Tommy and Lucy's son Leo to a beach volleyball match. After hours of intense play, Janie ekes out a win. At the extended family barbecue, Tommy offers Leo a bottle of beer for being a good sport. To everyone's surprise, Leo guzzles the stuff with ease. Lucy is aghast, and Tommy can only sputter, "I thought he'd hate it." Leo regards the bottle with the commentary, "I can see how this would be an acquired taste."

Critical Role: Campaign Two: Caduceus Clay is a tea-loving cleric who has been sheltered at his family's temple his entire life before he decides to travel with the Mighty Nein. As such, since this is a Dungeons & Dragons world, he struggles to find something to drink at the first tavern they stop in. When Nott gets him to try whiskey for the first time, he ends up coughing and tries to take the edge off with milk, which doesn't help. Six drinks in, he still thinks alcohol tastes terrible, to which Beau replies, "You don't drink it 'cause it tastes good." note  Because he is a 7-foot-tall firbolg, the fact that it takes more drinks than average to give him a buzz is referenced as a factor as well.

Modern Family:
A subversion: for Haley's twenty-first birthday, Claire and Gloria take her to a bar for her first drink. However, as Haley has been drinking since long before was legal, she has gotten used to alcohol and has to fake disgust in front of her family members to pretend it's her first time.
Played straighter in a Season One episode when the family heads to Hawaii for a vacation. Haley has what's implied to be her first drink — wine coolers — and hates it, ending up completely drunk and miserable.

The Parent Trap (1998): Discussed, but justifiably subverted. 11-year-old Hallie, disguised as her twin sister Annie, asks to taste the wine while dining with her mother and grandfather. Her mother says she's not sure "Annie" will like it, presumably because she never let the real Annie try alcohol before. But since Hallie was raised on a vineyard with her wine connoisseur father, she handles it fine and even gives her opinion on the taste. To cover her slip-up, she claims she picked up the knowledge at camp.
