swamp water

Marsh's dark broth

Swamp water is murky, stagnant water found in swamps—brown or green, often foul-smelling.

The term extends to any unappetizing liquid resembling it: This coffee tastes like swamp water.

In bars, swamp water is a mixed drink combining various liquors and mixers, typically greenish and of questionable palatability.
