The 11 Manliest Cocktails In The World

December 26th, 2008 | 07:20 am
You wouldn't be caught dead drinking a cosmo, but all your friends will be drinking these at your funeral.
 
 
irish car bomb cocktail
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
 
kentucky tea cocktail
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 
 
rusty nail cocktail
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
 
snake bite cocktail
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
 
jagerade
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 
 
gine and juice cocktail
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
 
 
nuclear waste keith richards
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
 
tequila sunrise cocktail
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
 
 
original sazarac cocktail
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
 
 
martini cocktail
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
 
manhattan cocktail
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

    Jack with a splash of water.
    Sinatra's drink.

    go the the UK and Snake Bite is 50/50 drought beer and cider and yep it gets u hammered cuz aparently they mix together to form some brain hurtin' liquid

  3. the good doctor Says:

    They need to add the JAMESON ALCATRAZ to this list.

    If you like fine Scotch, you'll love
    light, imported Jameson Irish.

    Try a glass of Jameson Irish the way
    it was meant to be. The way drinking
    professionals enjoy a professional drink.
    A Jameson Alcatraz. With one ice cube.
    On the rock.

    You'll notice how much it tastes like
    fine Scotch -- only lighter and more
    delicate.

    The dedicated Scotch Drinker will
    instantly appreciate this flavor difference.

    It will take no time to get used to saying,
    "Jameson Alctraz, please.."
    And when they ask, "What's that?"
    You can confidently say, "One ice cube,
    on the rock."

    Jameson:World's largest-selling Irish Whiskey.

  4. Dino Says:

    Just to twist the knife a lil' more I like to drink a Long Island Iced Tea just coz it has loads of alcohol in it, plus I'm adding this coz I want to see people's reactions and see if I get some abuse!! ^_^

  5. Toilet Says:

    It's obviously been covered but this list was really stupid.

    You have a very loose grasp on alcoholic beverages.

    Also Guinness is a VERY light beer. The nitrogen gives it the apperance of being a heavy stout but it is actually lighter in calories than just about any American micro-brewed pale ales.

    If you are going to take the time to put something like this together PLEASE at least know what you are talking about. I gave this a thumbs-down on stumble to help prevent anyone else from seeing this garbage.

  6. Anonymous Says:

    God, I ordered a Manhattan once for the hell of it. It's revolting.

    I think Gin and Tonic should be on the list. And the Screwdriver. The only guy who ever looked cool having a martini was 007 himself. Everyone else looks like a poser.

    Tequila Sunrise though, that gets my vote though. I remember drinking a ton of these while listening to an awesome live band and...oh never mind, long story.

  7. Anonymous Says:

    That is not what a snakebite is.

    If it isn't Booker's neat it isn't manly. Christ.

  8. John Jelks Says:

    One word: Vodka (the drink of alcoholics!!)

  9. MJ Boo Says:

    Here's a little ditty I came up with out of boredom.

    Two shots Jim Beam
    One Shot Southern Comofrt
    One Shot Kaluah

    You'd think it would be all sweet and sugary, but no! It's great. Drink two of those and wait for the bus! You'll be under it by the time you realize it's there.

  10. MJ Boo Says:

    Here's a little ditty I came up with out of boredom.

    Two shots Jim Beam
    One Shot Southern Comfort
    One Shot Kaluah

    You'd think it would be all sweet and sugary, but no! It's great. Drink two of those and wait for the bus! You'll be under it by the time you realize it's there.

    You'll be under the bus before you knew it arrived!

  12. Fuuma Rhys Says:

    One thing I like that alot of my buddies like is called Heaven & Hell.

    1 shot of Goldschlager
    1 shot of Black Haus or Rumplemintz which ever u can afford.

  13. brad Says:

    I LIKE BOOZE

  14. Vagabondie Says:

    well in my book, if your a man, you drink anything to get drunk. so if its alcoholic, its manly.

  15. Anonymous Says:

    people in this country are much more judgmental about drinks than other places i've been.

    why is it considered a bad thing to be able to forget that you're drinking a solvent?

  16. Paul Says:

    Nice list, but everyone knows real men measure in metric.

    Don't give us those flouncy ounces.

  17. Anonymous Says:

    Ahh...your all full of sh*t...

    The Solace:

    take 20 years of marriage to a crazy woman, mix with 25 years of senseless work and mind numbing boredom and mix well. Add to that a large dash of financial insecurity and a bad economy then stir in a large quantity of cut hours at work. Combine the two mixtures together and add whatever kind of alcohol that you can afford that is at or above 80 proof, add ice and drink without mixing...

    THAT my friends...is a mans drink and if you haven't lived long enough to taste THAT GLASSFULL OF CRAP...then...well...you just haven't lived long enough...come back and see me when you have.

    Once you have lived long enough anything that makes you shudder when you drink it just ain't enough.

  18. Vagabondie Says:

    So, if your a man, your main goal should be getting drunk. so drinking anything alcoholic is manly.

    anyways, heres a shot for a man...

    "the Dirty Pussy"

    1 shot premium vodka
    Squirt of lemon,
    Tuna oil to taste

    well-ah

  19. Anonymous Says:

    What's manlier than going mano-a-beero with a pint of the world's thickest stout mixed with a shot of whiskey?

    umm Guinness is probably the worldest thinnest stout. Mix it with Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout and then we'll talk

  20. greg Says:

    you guys sure are recycling a lot of stuff lately. what gives?

  21. Anonymous Says:

    I'm glad that for once someone recognizes the manliness of a martini, but im sad to see whiskey water and vodka water left off.

  22. ithurtswhenipee Says:

    "My drink is the strongest; My drink is the grossest; my drink has X in it; My drink doesn't have X in it" Bunch of pussy bullshit! A real man will not drink just anything so long as it is something that nobody else would drink. A real man doesn't drink something because it has X% of alcohol. (those are drinks that are dared to be drunk by fratboys, notice that there is no such word as fratmen) A real man drinks what he wants to drink because the taste is pure and satisfying. Not because it will impress anybody or get him drunk. In fact, real men don't get drunk.

  23. flamingjesus Says:

    ive had plenty of prarie fires and they're gross dude. They aren't manly, just nasty. Same with dirty panties, which are essentially the same thing just with more nasty sauces put in. The manhattan is defiently the manliest drink. You also don't look like a teenage bum who finally got into the bar when drinking it- like the kids in the corner of the bar giggling over the prarie fire or dirty panties name. Manhattan for the winner. And if you don't think it'll get you drunk you're surely mistaken.

  24. Anonymous Says:

    A real man drinks whatever he wants and doesn't give a shite what anybody thinks.

  25. Helke Says:

    Real men drink at the bar like this: #1 "Gimme a beer" (has been going to the SAME BAR for so long, every shift knows his brand). Or like this: "Whiskey.." No matter how you fancy it up or dress it down, its still an alcohol delivery system and gets the job done. Isnt that the point?

  26. Anonymous Says:

    To drink a drink just because it's "Manly" shows that you're just a boy. It also amuses me to hear people comment how soft Guinness is, compared to other stouts. I drink what I drink because I enjoy it, not so I can lecture others how their cocktail isn't stout enough, or strong enough, or it's a low grade drink, etc.If you're buyin', I'm tryin'. If I'm buying, it Guinness, or Black & water, you arrogant little twats. Put that in your shotglass, ya fruity bastards!

  27. Stubby Says:

    It's not manly but it fucks your shit right up!

    Half pint of strong lager 8%
    Half Pint of strong cider 6%
    Double Advocat
    Double Vodka
    Grenadine

    Looks and tastes like strawberry milkshake and I call it the epidural, because you lose the feeling and the use of your appendages before your head even knows you are drunk.

  28. Moose Says:

    Moonshine is most certainly the manliest drink. Anyone who has had real Moonshine would put it at the top of this list.

  29. all that is man! Says:

    Sounds like some of these people are metro sexual or closet gays! Jager and car bombs get old once you graduate college. It doesnt matter in the end what you drink as long as you get drunk. For instance dont take your fancy ass high dollar beer on a boat to go fishing. Theres a purpose for the cheap stuff, when you have friends that dont care what they drink or you just plan on boiling some bratwurst. But it is a gay thing to do and order some cheezy ass chick drinks when your at the bar. And the whole club scene is gay too! Just call it a freakin bar. Guys that spend too much time dressing up for the bar is gay, and so are his friends, cause chances are they talk about their clothes. Chicks should be the only ones spending more than 20-30 minutes getting ready. Thats all women really have going for them is looks anyways. And a man bag is gay too! Besides all that I have a few beers I like. Mac&Jacks, Smithwicks, and Whidmer. Cheap stuff does serve a purpose though. I really only drink Gin & Tonics mainly for liquor. All the rest is useless to me but then again they might work for you.

  30. Big Rob Says:

    Here's one a little manlier for you:

    1 shot Bacardi 151
    1 shot Bombay Sapphire
    1/2 shot Malibu Coconut rum
    a splash of sour, or margarita mix in a pinch

    Over crushed ice.

    I call this the Unspeakable Horror, as in,
    "What happened to you, Man?"
    "Unspeakable Horrors"

  31. Cpt.S Says:

    These are listed as the manliest cocktails, not the manliest drinks; learn your lingo people.

  32. Adam Says:

    Drinking a Manhattan with a cocktail onion is manly. Sipping it down with a cherry makes you a pussy.

  33. 7Thirty Says:

    whiskey chickenfuckers

  34. ... Says:

    ja, here in Germany those are girl drinks, men's drinks, Jägermeister with Vodka, half and half, if you think ist too much, add some coke or red bull...

  35. Alpha Sixty Says:

    Where's the tequila???

  36. Anonymous Says:

    i agree with billius on the whiskey thing jd is good but man johnny walker blue beats the hell outta it smells like gas goes down like water

  37. boredwithretards Says:

    wow! what a bunch of buffoons! who gives a crap what you drink, what you think is manly, or what you think at all. Drink what you want when you want to strictly for what tastes good and gets the job done. If you are trying to get tossed or just trying to find the right drink for the right meal. "If you dont drink what i drink you are a loser!" what a bunch of pretentious assholes

  38. TexasBeachBum Says:

    Sorry, but here in Texas we drink Tequila and beer. Some whiskeys are good too. Can't stand scotch or gin. But the truth is I drink what I want, not what somebody else thinks I should drink. Don't need a list or anyone else's opinion on what is 'manly'. Get over yourselves.....

  39. AT is A MORON Says:

    "AT" who claims to be a chick- that is YOUR opinion. By the sound of it you probably like the burly asshole wife beater wearing treat you like shit and you suck their dicks for it types. I can assure you I am much more feminine than you (and I am married to a man from Dublin) and I can tell you that some women (who aren't dykes) appreciate a man who doesn't just order scotch or beer ALL the time. For one thing, ordering beer all the time is BORING, doesn't show you have a whole lot of depth and that you are def not too creative.
    It's nice to see a man order a glass of wine or a mixed drink once in awhile instead of the same old shitty beer!

  40. Anonymous Says:

    A real man orders a 7&7.

  41. Toad Says:

    Great beer! To bad I cant get it in Texas

  42. Not-So-Innocent-bystander Says:

    I love that brewery. The World Wide Stout is fantastic (as is most of what they release). Try Avery Mephistopheles.. about the same, a little different overtones and finish. About the same price and ABV. I'll pick up a bottle or 2 a month if I can't find Dogfishhead WWS.

  43. Paul Says:

    Ok, a PROPER Martini is all about technique....

    Fill your shaker with ice, add a 1/2 jigger of vermouth.... shake well... dump the vermouth out, a tiny amount adheres to the sides and the ice, thats just enough.

    Pour the gin into the shaker, and STIR to combine. Sorry guys, Bond had this one wrong, a shaken Martini gets too cold too fast and comes out a bit off. Strain into a Martini glass and enjoy.

    I am overjoyed to see that Martini's on this list are all made with Gin, not Vodka... a vodka vermouth may be a nice drink, but a Martini it is not.

  44. Jon Says:

    Kentucky Bourbon served neat appears to be missing from your "list", so is Gin and Tonic. Too many of these "cocktails" seem to be mixed drinks.

    My Martini:
    3 1/2 oz Gin
    1/2 tsp Dry Vermouth (not quite Churchill style)
    Lime Twist (preferably a real twist and not a wedge, lime juice in the martini ruins it, just he essential oils are all I want, you should see them on the surface of the drink)

    It is quite refreshing on a summer day.

  45. Alex Says:

    you forgot liquid cocaine, mongolian motherf*****, and this drink at rum jungle at mandalay bay called the volcano which is bacardi 151, bacardo 151(dif from bacardi), and red juice.....those are hardcore man drinks

  46. Jonathan Says:

    The "manliest" beverage I've ever heard of is half-and-half Everclear and Tabasco. If that doesn't light your fire, nothing will...

  47. Jason Says:

    You are all a bunch of girlie-men. The only thing a real man mixes with liquor is ice.

  48. Trevor Says:

    Stopped reading after you called Guinness the 'World's Thickest Stout'.
