The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World

[CBI_2]

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:
¾ oz. scotch
¼ 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

[Bill86]

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?

[GolfNut]

Good info!

My favorite cocktail is:

3 oz Lagavulin Scotch
6 oz glass tumbler

Add scotch to tumbler, drink and repeat.

[Darrell]

Some of the reasons it makes you manly had me in tears. :r

[pnoon]

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.

You could if you were in the Pacific! :al

(Except for the Malibu part...more like paint-removing rum or torpedo alcohol!)

[icehog3]

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. ;)

[Bill86]

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.

[CasaDooley]

I just figure whatever I'm drinking is a manly drink and to hell with what others think!
BTW-Tom, I'm pretty sure no one would call you a p*ssy for drinkin, say, a shirly temple.:r

[icehog3]

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

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.

Hahaha. From now on, I am going to drink my Gin and Juice before playing any first person shooter. Everyone I shoot thereafter will be referred to as Nazi.

:tpd:

or with how strong it is.

[ucla695]

Martinis...up, with a twist. :tu

[dwoodward]

Bond drinks Vodka Martini's... not Gin Martini's... Fail..

[jmsremax]

Manhattans are good! When I am in the mood for soda I will order a Crown and Ginger.

[Don Fernando]

what about the Alaskan Duck Fart? It's what the crab fishermen drink, so it must be a manly cocktail.

[md4958]

Bond originally drank Vesper
Origin

The drink was invented and named by fictional secret agent James Bond in the 1953 novel Casino Royale.
"A dry martini," [Bond] said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet."
"Oui, monsieur."
"Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?"
"Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea.
"Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Leiter.
Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name."
—Ian Fleming, Casino Royale
The novel goes on with Bond telling the barman, after taking a long sip, "Excellent ... but if you can get a vodka made with grain instead of potatoes, you will find it still better," and then adds in an aside, "Mais n'enculons pas des mouches."[1]
Bond eventually calls it The Vesper, named after the novel's lead female character, Vesper Lynd. A Vesper differs from Bond's usual cocktail of choice, the martini, in that it uses both gin and vodka, Kina Lillet instead of the usual dry vermouth, and a lemon peel instead of an olive. Although there is a lot of discussion on the Vesper, it is only ordered once throughout Fleming's novels and by later books Bond is ordering regular vodka martinis, though he also drinks regular gin martinis.

He's also drinking them on the plane in Quantum of Solace.

[MajorCaptSilly]

I'm gonna try Nuclear Waste. I like vodka. I like orange soda. I like Keef!

MCS

[replicant_argent]

I want to drink Pink Squirrells with my BOTLs. I would also like to see a Grasshopper and Fuzzy Navel drinking contest between the Hog and MCS.

I don't need to define what's cool by a beverage, but some of the sillier ones listed here made me laugh.

I drank enough tequila to kill a whale Thursday and Friday at a herf, and not a smidge of hangover, Bill. But I ain't an aficionado, I'm a machine. ;) :r

So glad I got to do shots of dog water with the boys at Shack this weekend... Chit, I would do shots of water from Lake Erie with those guys... especially Tom :tu

[galaga]

Bea hasn't been gone that long, but its good to see that you've moved on........:D

[timj219]

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.

[Commander Quan]

I love Rusty Nails

[kydsid]

what about the Alaskan Duck Fart? It's what the crab fishermen drink, so it must be a manly cocktail.

It is and it will give you the mother of all hangovers too. But is it manly when you have to order and then tell them how to make it?

[landhoney]

with a pint of the world's thickest stout mixed

:rolleyes: I wish people would get over this notion of guiness being super thick, it's not. The nitrogen (as opposed to CO2 in other beers/styles) is what gives it that thick/creamy mouthfeel. Its a 4% dry stout, it's not a big, thick, high abv RIS or anything.

[Virginia_Ghost]

Bourbon. Rocks.
Why is it manly? The manliest trait of all is that state of being when you have no reason to go out of your way to prove your manliness. Understated, calm delivery of the request, "Bourbon, Rocks, Please" leaves no doubt as to your masculinity; and shows that you aren't going to stoop to requesting pansy drinks with "manly" sounding titles to prove anything.

[Bill86]

This, but I don't know anything about these rocks you speak of.....I've heard of bourbon and a glass......But I couldn't find the glass. Bourbon is the ultimate man drink.

I drank enough tequila to kill a whale Thursday and Friday at a herf, and not a smidge of hangover, Bill. But I ain't an aficionado, I'm a machine. ;) :r

Nicely done, I got out of tequila perhaps a revisit is in order. Having a high alcohol tolerance rules, been on a bourbon kick lately though.

[pektel]

Bond drinks Vodka Martini's... not Gin Martini's... Fail..

I was gonna say the same thing.

I prefer vodka martini's, no vermouth, extra dirty. And if they have them, garlic stuffed olives.

Or, scotch with 2 ice cubes. Jameson is my current fave budget scotch whiskey. I choked down a glass of ancient Ballantine's a couple days ago.

Hell, even at a music fest I attended last weekend, all I really had to drink alcohol-wise was Svedka screwdrivers in the morning, and Crown and water on the rocks for the rest of the day. With a decent selection of sticks too :tu

[Don Fernando]

hangover? Never had one after some duckfarts.

[jonumberone]

Not commenting on quality here.

But I have witnessed a shipping container full of booze get busted open by a crane.
Many of my fellow Longshoremen were sopping up the spill with their greasy work gloves,
safety vests, and dirty handkerchiefs.
Then wringing the booze out in their mouth.
Probably not delicious, but manly as hell!

:tu Man law, no booze shall be wasted. Good work! Although....that would've given me a heart attack no doubt.

The rest of the shift must've been fun!

Right back atcha, My Brother. Hope we don't wait a year to have another drink together either, Moe. :)

Bea hasn't been gone that long, but its good to see that you've moved on........:D

Bea has been gone far too long for the munting, Rick....so I must move along, sadly. :)

[Smokin Gator]

I do love an Irish Car Bomb once in a while... but I consider it a "manly" drink. Usually, when I have one it is near the end of the night and I am in that downward spiral!!!

For manly, bourbon on the rocks, scotch or rum neat. Done!!

My testosterone level went up just reading this post.


MCS

[DougBushBC]

One note, I have always called a different drink by the name Snake Bite, which is a blended beer drink of Harp and Pear Cider.

[Subvet642]

Nothing trendy for me, just give me an old school Manhattan with Rye instead of Bourbon; the way they were invented.

[pektel]

Forgot all about the Vesper. I really want to try one! So, I did a little researching to find Kina Lillet. Turns out it 's not available anymore. There is a successful replacement though, called Cocchi Apertivo Americano. Had to order it from cali.

[sevans105]

Personally, I've tried a ton of trendy drinks...lots of mixes...come back to either bourbon (four roses is my love of the moment) or high end vodka. Loving on Ketel One and tonic or a local product - Shakers vodka. They have both a Rye and a Wheat version. Like the wheat a bit better. Sent a sample of both down to Virginia Ghost.

[pektel]

Shaker's is local? Never knew that. Shows how much I pay attention.

My goto vodka has been absolut or stoli.

[Parshooter]

Manly Drinks:
Bourbon, neat (a few cubes or a splash is ok)
Scotch, neat (see above disclaimer)
Vodka, martini, shots, or on the rocks
Rum, neat
Tequila, neat
Slivovitz (if you must ask...)

Anything mixed with cola, fruit juice, or more than a 1-1 ratio is for the ladies. Mixed shots (car bombs, duck farts, etc) are for college kids.

[pektel]

Surprised no one mentioned a beer.

Before he moved back to Milwaukee, a friend of mine who is very much into Bond and I used to drink Vespers rather often (usually about 10-15 of us would go and hit the bar for one of them, then off to the premere of the newest Bond movie) and they are quite good. I seem to recall that we used Lillet Blanc plus a drop or two of Angustura Bitters, as this was considered an acceptable substitute and something that you would find available at a bar. Gin was usually Boodle's and Vodka was Belvedere.

I did read about Lillet Blanc, but it lacked the bitterness of the kina lillet. I had also read about bittering it up with quinine. That Angustora bitters idea seems logical. I may try that too. Thanks for the recommendation!

Or, scotch with 2 ice cubes. Jameson is my current fave budget scotch whiskey.

Jameson may be whiskey, but it's as Scottish as tequila. :D

Manly cocktails or not, I like:

Martini (with gin of course!)
Scotch (neat)
Bourbon (neat or with an ice cube)
Tequila (chilled)
Rum (neat or with an ice cube)

[pektel]

Jameson may be whiskey, but it's as Scottish as tequila. :D



I'm all full of mistakes today. I meant Irish whiskey. Maybe I'm a little more hung over than I thought :rolleyes:

[darkleeroy]

To make the beer drinkers feel better, I just wanted to point out that neat drinks or (name your favorite brand of liquor) on the rocks aren't cocktails either.

[yourchoice]

I agree. A cocktail is 2 or more ingredients. That's why I said "or not". :)

An "extra dry Martini" without any vermouth isn't a cocktail either. For that matter it isn't a Martini. It's gin (or vodka).
