Something I tried once was half Coke, half orange juice. At first I did it to gross out my friends, because the color exactly resembles puke if you get the right mix. To my surprise it was really quite good. I still like it.

Also good. A nice bonus for the territorial: very few people will want a sip when you tell them what it is... ;-)
