The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
I came across this list and found it interesting and thought I would share and see what my fellow inmates thought.
11. Irish Car Bomb Why is it manly?: What's manlier than going mano-a-beero with a pint of the world's thickest stout mixed with a shot of whiskey? Knowing that if you don't chug it fast enough, you'll be downing chunks of curdled Bailey's cream. Recipe: 3/4 pint Guinness stout 1/2 shot Bailey's Irish cream 1/2 shot Jameson Irish whiskey 10. Kentucky Tea Why is it manly:? You can get shot in the face by an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms federal agent just for making this cocktail. Recipe: 1 mason jar halfway full of moonshine Fill the jar with branch water 9. Rusty Nail Why is it manly?: I can't put my finger on exactly why, but there's something oddly macho about asking your girlfriend if she would like to sip on your Rusty Nail. Recipe: ľ oz. scotch Ľ oz. Drambuie 8. Snake Bite Why is it manly?: Anytime a drink is compared to a snake sinking its fangs into you and depositing venom in your bloodstream, chances are, it's probably pretty stiff. Basically it's straight up Yukon Jack, which has been known to make balls hairy. The only reason there's a dash of lime juice is so you won't get scurvy. Recipe: 2 oz Yukon Jack liqueur 1 dash Lime juice 7. Jagerade Why is it manly?: To be honest, I don't know if this is manly or just gross. Either way, a man can never get enough electrolytes. Recipe: 8 oz chilled Gatorade energy drink 4 oz Jagermeister herbal liqueur 6. Gin and Juice Why is it manly?: Snoop Dogg likes to drink this when there are b**ches in his living room until six o'clock in the morning, so that has to be worth something. Gin and juice was also the morning cocktail of soldiers and officers in WWII. That's right, this is what you drank right before you killed a bunch of Nazis. You can't say that about Malibu and pineapple. Recipe: 2 1/2 ounces Gin. 1 oz. orange juice. Equal parts mind on your money and money on your mind 5. Nuclear Waste Why is it manly?: This is the only thing Keith Richards drinks now. According to the man himself, ""Whiskey wasn't agreeing with me anymore. The old body couldn't take it. Brandy is a killer, and wine is best with food, so somehow I settled on this. Plenty of ice. Lovely." If it's good enough for Mr. Richards, it's good enough for this list. Recipe: 2 oz. premium vodka 1 oz. Sunkist or any orange soda Plenty of ice 4. Tequila Sunrise Why is it manly?:First off, it's a breakfast cocktail. And secondly, "2 measures tequila" is short for, "as much tequila as your glass will hold." It may look a little fruity but it's about as tropical as a back alley in Tijuana. Recipe: 2 measures Tequila Orange juice 2 dashes Grenadine 3. The Original Sazerac What makes it manly?: This cocktail takes the classic New Orleans recipe and adds—what else—a nice, healthy addition of Absinthe. Because if huffing rye whiskey doesn't make you a man, mixing it with mythical psychedelic liquor that tastes like cough syrup will make sure everyone knows you have a penis. Recipe: 1 tsp Sugar 1-1/2 oz Rye whiskey 1 Dash Herbsaint, Pernod or Absinthe (to coat the glass) 2 dashes Peychaud bitters 2 dashes Angostura bitters 1 Lemon peel twist 2. Martini Why is it manly?: Well, it's pretty much straight alcohol, with just enough vermouth to remind you that you're not drinking disinfectant. Plus, James Bond drinks it, and he bangs lots of chicks and beats the crap out of dudes with names that describe a hideous disfigurement they have that also provides them with some sort of physical superiority. Recipe: 2 1/2 oz Gin 1 1/2 tsp Dry Vermouth 1 Olive 1. Manhattan: Why is it manly: You may say "it's got a cherry, nothing with a cherry is manly." Well, nibble on this: It's notorious for being the favorite drink of the Italian Mafia, who are notorious for killing people. I'm not saying killing somebody makes you a man, but it's probably not the best idea to call someone who just threw someone off a bridge a "cherry drinking pansy." Recipe: *3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth 2 1/2 oz Rye whiskey dash Angostura bitters 1 Maraschino cherry

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
BIG LIST OF FAIL, None of those pass my test. I don't care who drinks them.....bond is fake.. snoop isn't the manliest dude.....Keith couldn't take the hard stuff anymore thus he "dumbs it down"....Who cares what the mafia drinks...The kentucky tea might be the only passable manly drink.
Where's the..... 3 wiseman four horseman Grateful dead Long island Blue mother****er Sure I'm even missing some that was just a quick few tossed out. EDIT also a one I tend to like Russian qualude 1.5 oz vodka .5 oz kahlua .5 oz baileys .5 oz frangelico Straight liquor and tastes like a white russian, WIN? |

Martinis and Manhattans are classic cocktails that have stood the test of time. Some of these newer drinks most people have never heard of and no one will remember 10 years from now.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
The Irish Car Bomb and Martini are a couple of manly faves.
Tequila Sunrise? I just thought it was more manly to do double digit shots of tequila every night this weekend at the Shack.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
Except for the martini and possibly the sazerac that's got to be the gayest list of "manly" drinks possible. Why not just add sloe gin and coke or strawberry daquiri to the list?
I know I'm old and out of step but as a former bartender it's my firm opinion that good booze should, with very few exceptions, never be mixed with anything but water (still or sparkling), tonic, or ice. And bad booze should be left for teenagers or women.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
Bourbon is a mans drink, my bottle of weller barrel proof 67.4% abv is an excellent specimen. Yes tequila is a great mans drink as well. I prefer Penca Azul, either way $50 is the minimum I will spend on tequila. Patron is dog water.

I tend to judge alcohol on how it tastes, not how much it costs.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
I live by the waist rule....If I have to bend down to pick up a bottle that just ain't gonna happen. This is true, but with tequilas.....man you really get what you pay for and you get zombie-like hung over if you don't pay for it. NEVER had a decent tequila for under $40. Again I'm quite an aficionado in the booze world, but a noob in the cigar world. This brings me here to get a handle on my new addiction.
