No kidding! Anything with Redbull in it is definitely NOT manly.

Martinis are pretty manly though, but some people (me included) just don't like Gin very much.

I like makers mark and ginger ale, pretty tasty

i figure most mixed drinks not involving parrot bay or cranberry juice are manly enough

I would consider the martini a gender-neutral drink that manages to put on airs somehow, but I come from a heavily chicken-fried segment of American society. Gin is TASTY as [censored].

Geez, kids these days! You like beer right? So the answer is obvious...a shot and a beer. The shot can be most anything, traditional is whiskey. You belt down the shot, and chase it with your beer. Wussies need not apply.

i never understood gin, you make this foul liquor then of all the flavors you could choose to add to it, you pick a freaking juniper bush? why not go chew on some pine needles while you're at it.

I pretty much only drink bourbon or scotch on the rocks nowadays. It's an acquired taste, so if it's not for you I think you can add a splash of coke or whatever without it being too womanly.

As an aside, is a whiskey sour considered a woman drink? I remember debating this with someone a long time ago and I can't remember the conclusion we reached.

Manly drinks - one of the Rat Pack
- Jack & Coke
- Gin & Tonic / Vodka tonic
- Bourbon, whiskey, scotch neat or on the rocks
- or a whiskey sour (no cherry)
- Classic martini

Borderline
- White Russian (although I enjoy these now and again)
- Margaritas (according to some people...here in New Mexico, guys drink these all the time)

Drinks that straight guys shouldn't order
- Martini wannabe's - appletini, chocolatini, Cosmopolitans
- Daiquiris and fruity margaritas (strawberry, coconut, etc.)
- Pretty much anything that comes with fruit

whiskey sour
 

My friend and I agree, if a man gets a whiskey sour without a cherry, he's okay. One of our machismo friends orders these all the time. He's a playa.
