You wouldn't be caught dead drinking a cosmo, but all your friends will be drinking these at your funeral.
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 bitches in his living room gettin' it on 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 psychadelic 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."
TERRIBLE list!, Manhattan!?! Tequila sunrise!?!?! WTF This list should be called what to drink to impress your girlfriends friends. Or How to score front row seats at the pride parade.
There is a shot that my bartender and I developed that is pretty good. It's called a mad cow.
It's a shot of 151, with a half a shot of kaluha and a half a shot of creme(half and half). what do you call a half a shot of half and half? just call it a shot of half i guess.
The creme keeps the 151 from burning through your larynx and the shots are strong.
It's only manly to people who gell their hair into a mohawk, with little bleached ends at the tips. They would be wearing a "retro" smoking jacket and jeans. Sipping their cocktails slow enough so they would be able to Guaqmire all the drunk chicks.
At first I thought the list was lame. But then I realised that it's coctails and didn't really care. Real men drink thier alchohol straight up and fast. The essence of a true power drinker.
I used to drink Jack Daniels and nothing else. Then I started having a hard time getting out of bed everyday. I didn't think much of it until my life started becoming much more difficult than it used to be. I couldn't understand what was going on. Then I had a bright idea and switched to Johnny Walker Black. I thought that if I switched I'd start feeling better. I did for a while, but I think that was just the placebo thing-a-ma-jig. I got to a point where I really didn't care about much. A friend of my told me about AA. I know, I know. Sounds like a cop-out. But if you think drinking makes you a man, see how much stuff you've got- walk into an AA meeting and tell everyone in the room that you're an Alkie! That takes real guts. I never looked back. I put my life back together and, you wouldn't believe it- No more hangovers- PRICELESS!
How about the 4 Horsemen went hunting......Jim, Jack, Jose, Captain with a dash of Wild Turkey. Even when you're fucked up, it's hard to keep this one down.
omg this list turned out good, then ended with some poon drinks. this has to be a joke right?????? i dont care if your martini glass is filled with wild turkey, and coke. if your dude and your holding a martini glass thats universal sign language for i like to Hold to COCK.
Still I think nothing hits harder than what my friend and I call a gorilla fart. Usually only drunk at the end of the night to make sure that you get wasted at last call.
1 oz. diesel (or everclear... anything 190+)
1 oz. Wild Turkey
And for the guys who want to chase that with something a little nicer the Pigeon fart
There's a difference between a Snake Bite (above mentioned cocktail) and a Snakebite (the 1/2 pint lager, 1/2 pint cider popular with the Brits). Personally, I like em both.
Im gonna start this rant by saying I'm a bartender, The amount of alcohol in the drink or the proof of it doesn't make you a man. People who order Adios M'F'ers and tokyo teas and kryptonites or straight shots of 151 are idiots. Anytime the word fart, piss, pussy or anything that sounds like a frat guy made it up while doing whip its or huffing paint out of a paper bag is not manly, it's borderline retarded. A simple beer and a shot will do. I'm not 100% if a martini/manhattan are manly drinks but they are classics. Also, for crying out loud if you are a man do not order a lemon drop, chocolate cake, wet pussy, screaming orgasm or nuts and berries. I don't care how delicious it might be. If you come into my bar and ask for that I will say one of two things, Hand over your man membership or did you make sure to wipe your flowery vagina after you got done peeing while sitting down. And yes snakebites are a mixed drink and a mixture of a lager and a cider.
I drink manhattan's and gin martini's almost exclusively, girl's are always wondering what I'm drinking and then are sorry they asked when I give them a taste. I think that's the best manly test there is.
I love this list. I get at least 4 of those drinks off the list when i frequent Rage in West Hollywood. But if your drinkin 151 straight, that must make you a man. next time ill say hi ;)
I 'm a bartender and I hate all these trendy drinks with "cool" names. When people tell me to make them something good I them a shot of Crown, quickly swipe the money and move to the next person. It's good enough for me enjoy.
A drunk is a drunk is a drunk. It doesn't matter what brand of alcohol they drink. If they don't end up stinking with their head in a toilet bowl today, they may end up in the drunk ward in the not-to-distant future. And the funny thing about it is that most of the people in the drinking establishments won't even remember their names. You can take THAT to the bank.
What ever happened to keeping it simple a handle of Captain, Ice, a splash of coke for color. The list has a few good one's, the rest is well only if you hang with the village people. Vodka help's your eyesight too pick out a lady at 10 then look at her again at 2 Damn she's fine.
Later
that list is so wrong...
as a bartender my list would be..
1) long island ice tea (it should be a pint glass filled with spirits with a dash of coke and lemon juice, i realise its incorrectly made but thats how i make em, and thats a mans drink)
2) gibson dry tequilatini (if its salt rimmed its even better, although its in a martini glass it should be drank in 2 to 3 sips so no one sees you walking around like a w@nker holding a martini glass)
3) Blitzer (beer and vodka, nuff said. blitzers can also use whiskey instead of vodka)
4) Rusty nail
5) battery acid (black sambuca, tequila and tabasco, try one and you will know why)
6)la' gre'n orang'e (absinthe and orange juice, anyone gives you $hit that you are drinking a womans drink tell them to go frack themselfs, its french (well not really))
7) Jager bomb (yagermeister and redbull, its a nicer jageraide)
8) mai tai (there is lots of alcohol in it, it does not have a stupid name, and most bartenders know it)
A Yager bomb will fuyoup fast
Vodka strait-up martini’s...has no hang over!
try it see for your self
But a nice have people over drink
1 part Southern Comfort
1 part Vodka
1 can frozen lime aide mix, it’s like lemon aide
1 part water
Use lime aide can for the “one part thing”
1 can 7up
ice
Put in blinder tell all most full to top
Punch a button
BEST COOLER EVER
and yes I'm gay and have been running Bar's for over20 years
How about the old classic called Lousiana Lemonade
1 oz. Southern Comfort
1. oz bottom shelf Vodka
4 oz. Warm cat urine.
Serve over ice with a sprig of Mint.
I have no idea where your idea of "manly" lies, but most men I know wouldn't know those drinks you posted...
A Long Island Ice Tea might be the extent of a complex mixed drink. Followed by a Margarita or a Skip and Go Naked (pushing the extremes here)
The rest would be something pretty simple like a Bloody Mary, Gin and Tonic, Jack and Coke, or a Seven and Seven....
Otherwise you could expect orders of straight shots of whatever was on hand followed by the local beer of the area we were frequenting.
Wine was for wannabe pussies or officers.
However being from enlisted stock that's done a bit of traveling throughout the world as an Army paratrooper and Ranger, you shouldn't take my word for it.....
After all, a manly experience in most peoples eyes now days has nothing to do with what men from my generation thought manly at the time.
Anyone who thinks Guinness Draught is 'the world's thickest stout' should never try to give advice on anything else alcohol related. I want to like this article but that wildly inaccurate phrase spoils it for me. Guinness = the Bud Lite of stout.

I thought a Snake Bite was just a pint of Harp ale & hard cider? Thats what i'm served whenever I order one at least...
April 14th, 2008 at 09:55 pm

In england, snakebite is 1/2 lager, 1/2 cider, usually with a shot of blackcurrant
cordial.

April 14th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
mobsters are not manly. Sure, they kill people and all, but they wear queer ass clothes and cheesy jewelry
April 15th, 2008 at 01:46 am

Irish Truck Bomb--a buddy of mine was in NYC, on a pub crawl. He was challenged to finish a Truck Bomb, which is the same as a car bomb, but bigger:
-1/2 pitcher of Guiness
-1/2 highball of Jameson
-1/2 highball of Baileys
Three Wisemen:
-1/3 Johnny Walker (red or black)
-1/3 Jim Beam
-1/3 Jack Daniels
rocks or neat (I'd only suggest neat if you're trying to make your 21 yr. old friend puke)
April 15th, 2008 at 02:15 pm

Manhattan is also good bc it's got the alkyhol of the martini, with a cherry to ensnare a laydee. That's how i do it, BITCHES.
