A refreshing sip of yellow liquid and a sudden reaction - a grimace. What did Italian national team striker Mario Balotelli taste?

In a video posted on "Youtube," it can be seen that the extravagant M. Balotelli took a sip of something very bitter.

During the break in the match against the England national team, the striker sitting on the bench decided to freshen up. Before taking a sip, M. Balotelli hesitated, as he was explaining something to Antonio Cassano sitting next to him.

Finally, the 21-year-old footballer took a sip of the yellow liquid, but he immediately spat it out. What was in that bottle?

Was M. Balotelli simply not impressed by the taste of the refreshment, or was it a prank by his teammates?
