Gin and soda with a lime wedge, then juice the wedge into the drink. Very refreshing, I find tonic too "thick" and just plain soda/seltzer more refreshing. Pop is way too sugary IMHO.

two that come to mind are:
Mint Julep
Ramos Gin Fizz (only order this one at a good cocktail bar that's willing to shake the drink for a loooong time)

Don't look down on good old reliable Gordon's. A really good gin at half the price of the snooty brands and most of the people recommending the more expensive brands are too young to drink and only mentioning what they saw advertised in this month's Maxim.

Good point. Gordons's is a darn fine gin. I'm also a fan of regular bombay (the white label, not bombay sapphire). Plymouth is a classic, though it might disappear a bit in a G&T.

Monopolova, surprisingly makes a gin that's pretty affordable, and not too bad. Some decent bars I know use it as their house gin.

Oh, a Capirinhia is very refreshing. Not terribly complicated, but does require effort. As manly as you would expect the manliness of the ave. Brazillian male.

:hmm:
....


Only made right with Cachaca, though, and not too many bars carry that.

I like the Tom Collins...I get mine made with New Amsterdam if they have it. Sapphire taste too juniper-y to me and I don't like it. My fall-back if they don't have New Amsterdam is a vodka collins.

Ask 'em for a Singapore Sling...it's manly ()

OP, if none of these appeal to you, you could always watch a bunch of old movies for more ideas. They always drinking classic manly drinks in them.

Oh and the manliest thing you can order is whatever the fuck you want at that time, really.

Don't worry about whether or not a cocktail is manly. Instead, if you like it, drink it. If someone questions whether or not a girly drink, asset that the fact that you are drinking it makes it manly.

IDGAF what people think about the drink I have in my hand (ok, I will admit that you'll never catch me with a Zima...). The only reason to worry about it is if you're not confident enough with your own self-image anyway, and that's what you should work on first.

Oh, I don't give a slightest crap how 'manly' people think I am. I can be caught drinking a wine cooler for all I care.

My word usage of 'manly' is because I never liked cocktails at bars that all seem to be sweet. So I'm asking for a non-sweet cocktail = manly.

I like simple, Goose&Sprite.

he said manly.




anything rye based is manly. that would include:
manhattan
old fashioned
sazerac (the original cocktail)
scofflaw
mckinley's delight



ask for old overholt to be used.





Just don't get it in Singapore. God Damn their alcohol tax is ridiculous.
satay at the long bar with a cold sling is one of life's little pleasures.




The Manhattan (on the rocks) is my cocktail of choice. Maker's Mark is the usual bourbon I select. I don't know that I'd call it "refreshing" per se, but it is a tasty and (imho) manly cocktail.
why are you putting a sweet wheated bourbon in a manhattan?




Barf-o-rama :thumbsdown:

Vodka only, just whisper the word vermouth over the shaker, shake and strain. Serve with a rinsed olive so that it doesn't overpower the vodka with olive juice. Oh, and fill the shaker all the way with ice. Do not let the booze sit in the shaker. Once you pour, shake immediately and vigorously and strain into cocktail glass right away.
that's a kangaroo cocktail, not a martini.
heck, it's not even really a cocktail, it's just vodka with olive juice and ice slivers.






two that come to mind are:
Mint Julep
Ramos Gin Fizz (only order this one at a good cocktail bar that's willing to shake the drink for a loooong time)
the second is amazing if done right. yes, it taste like a flower. it's manly because it has a fucking raw egg in it.
