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:
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

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?

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

Good info!

My favorite cocktail is:

3 oz Lagavulin Scotch
6 oz glass tumbler

Add scotch to tumbler, drink and repeat.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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
 

:tpd:

The old and really bald one is wise. :D

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

Sends a chill down the spine. :D

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

You could if you were in the Pacific! :al

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

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
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

I'd rather eat a shirley temple, Kevin. ;) :r

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

I'm thinkin Orange Stoli may pair well with that!:r

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

:tpd:

or with how strong it is.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

Bond originally drank Vesper
He's also drinking them on the plane in Quantum of Solace.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

MCS

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

Someone had to, Tom.

ADB and the Godfather of Soul make me laugh today.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

Get on up, Pete. :D

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

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
 

I love Rusty Nails

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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?

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

: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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

hangover? Never had one after some duckfarts.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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!

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

The rest of the shift must've been fun!

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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!!

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

My testosterone level went up just reading this post.


MCS

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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

My goto vodka has been absolut or stoli.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

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.

Re: The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World
 

Surprised no one mentioned a beer.
