Girlie drinks

[StoneGold]

Are you comfortable of your own sexuality enough to drink something with three kinds of fruit juice and some alcohol in it?

[bfrank]

I'm not big on pink drinks.....

true story, My best friend and I were out for his 21 birthday.....it was 12:01 AM, his first time at a bar.....this fool looks at the bar tender and says "tell me something fruity".....

[Lord of Denial]

Appletine. Watched Scrubs had to have one.

[K'Nort]

Those have real juice? That may not be so bad. I thought it was like vodka and schnapps.

Damn if I know. I thought it was real juice but I am probably wrong.

[Tages]

Are you comfortable of your own sexuality enough to drink something with three kinds of fruit juice and some alcohol in it?
No. No I'm not.

[Tages]

Actually, now that I think of it, I think I might be comfortable with it as long as immediately afterwards I could have a shot of Scotch.

And keep in mind, I absolutely fucking loathe the taste of Scotch, but if there's a manlier drink, I haven't found it.

[Frodo-X]

I don't drink. Just never felt the need. However, the last time I did (about 5 years ago) it was wine coolers.

Being such a pop nut (soda, for you folk outside my area) I really like my drinks sweet.

[Tadhg Adams]

I'm not big on the fruit drinks, But I love chocolate and coffee flavored drinks no matter how frou-frou they may be.

[darkkeeperjr]

I'm comfortable enough to order any kind of girlie drink and still ask for a straw. It's not like anyone would think I'm gay(Not that there's any thing wrong with that) cause I usually chase some tail with the girlie drinks in my hand,back in the day.

[Valmore]

I'm married and have proof that my manhood functions properly, hence I can drink whatever I want, secure in knowing that my wife controls the whip on me anyway.

I prefer coffee liquor drinks to fruit liquor drinks, however.

I think there are some other whiskeys that can come off as manlier. Bourbon, or Tennessee blended. Or mescal. Ain't nothing much manlier than mescal.

There's a difference between mescal and turpentine?

[Buried Alien]

Are you comfortable of your own sexuality enough to drink something with three kinds of fruit juice and some alcohol in it?

My sexuality, yes; my digestive system, no.


Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

[StoneGold]

My sexuality, yes; my digestive system, no.


Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)
Which makes me further question yours.




Yes, I know, horribly homophobic. And inaccurate, since we all know homosexuals are all raging alcoholics. Like Indians. Where was I going with this again?

[Jack Zodiac]

Appletine. Watched Scrubs had to have one.

Extra apple, light on the tini? :p

I'll drink anything if it tastes good. Most of the time, though, I stick to my basics. Rum and Coke, Jack or Jameson, and beer.

[Drew Van T.]

Are you comfortable of your own sexuality enough to drink something with three kinds of fruit juice and some alcohol in it?

If the juices are lemon, lime and grapefruit, and the alcohol is of the bitter, stinging kind, then yes of course.

I hate sugary crap drinks but you can take cocktails in a very different direction, too.

[RickThunderclees]

I'm a beer and wine man myself....but occasionally I go nuts for a chocolate martini.

[snide]

I just can't handle more then one or two myself. The sugar gets to me. Same with red bull.

Same goes for anything milk or cream based like a white russian. One is awesome, two is ok and three is unfinishable.

[JeffreyWKramer]

I don't drink any more, but even when I did, the closest I got to fruity drinks was putting some lime in vodka drinks.

[RickThunderclees]

Anyone else have this problem?

Where you can drink almost all the beer you want (depending on the beer), and not feel bad in the morning. But when I mix alcohol and and sugar, i.e. rum and coke, or jaeger bombs, I feel like total shite...

Every time I mix sugar with alcohol, I feel like crap.

[warspite1805]

If I like the way something tastes I will drink it, why should I care what other people think.

Mixing sugar with alcohol interferes with your body's ability to metabolize the alcohol efficiently. You're thus likely to get more drunk, as it doesn't pass through the system as well, and you also get more of a hangover.

This is particularly true if you have a tendency toward diabetes - but it's a bad idea for diabetics to drink in any case.

[Christopher O]

I was all about the girlie drink until a few years ago when I discovered the awesomely phenomenal combination that is Vodka and Red Bull (which I would consider a solidly faggy drink). It gives me wings and a great buzz.

[Karl J. Barnes]

No worm in turpentine..

Is it true that if you drink lots of water before going to bed it can cut down with the severity of a hangover?

[Bouncing Boy]

Is a Strawberry Margharita a girlie drink? If so then I can't deny it because 10 or so CBRers(including Paradox, fly on the wall, Jayna, and Sir Tim Drake) witnessed me drinking a pitcher of the stuff at Wizard World Chicago eight years ago. I've also drunk Strawberry Daqueries and other girlie drinks so I guess I would have to say I'm comfortable with my sexuality (but then again I'm bisexual so maybe the point is moot)

[Lord of Denial]

Is a blowjob considered a girly drink?

I have never had the courage to ask for one. Mainly because the bar I go to has only guy's as bartenders.

And I have a feeling Superman named that drink as part of his superdickery.

[gary bolt]

I like a classic Margarita once in a while (1 ounce tequila, 1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice, 1/2 ounce Triple Sec, salted rim). I don't like Margaritas made with sugary bottled mix nearly as much.

My wife and I drink Mimosa (champagne and orange juice) in bed while we share presents on Christmas morning. The girlyness of that drink is offset by the fact that I drink it well before noon.

[morna]

I can't handle the taste of most girlie drinks. I can't even stand pop as a mixer. I love gin and club soda with a big squeeze of lime. Beer, I prefer the hoppy bitter ones to the thick cream type things. Wine, good wines with food that they compliment is a lovely thing. I love the single malt Scotches too.

I guess I'm a manly drink girl!

[Christopher O]

What's the name of the drink? I have some very unappropriate names in mind, but....well, I'm trying to be nice this year.
I always ask for Absolut and Red Bull or Grey Goose and Red Bull a la Crown and Coke or Jack and Coke. I'm not sure if it has a proper name.

EDIT: I somehow misquoted earlier, and this post made absolutely no sense, but I've corrected it.

[Dreadstar]

3 kinds? I don't know, imight be able to make a case for a Jim Beam Sour, if I squeeze the cherry and orange.

[Callie]

Of course, I'll never turn down a girly drink. However, I like beer more. It's the cloying sweetness of a girly drink that bugs me first; next, it's the way the alcohol sneaks so quickly into your system.

[gary bolt]

A lot of girly drinks served at bars have tons of booze and tons of sugar. My theory is that the people who drink them want to get drunk and don't actually like the taste of alcohol. My other theory is that people who order fancy coffee drinks don’t actually like the taste of coffee.

[Callie]

My other theory is that people who order fancy coffee drinks don’t actually like the taste of coffee.

I think Starbucks bases its entire business around this theory.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Is it true that if you drink lots of water before going to bed it can cut down with the severity of a hangover?

Yes. One of the chemical effects of alcohol, and one contributing factor to hangover, is dehydration. Making sure you're well-hydrated can reduce the severity of hangover, though probably not the duration. Also, if one wakes with a hangover, making sure to drink a big glass of water right away can help a little.

[Chris Nowlin]

Is a blowjob considered a girly drink?

I have never had the courage to ask for one. Mainly because the bar I go to has only guy's as bartenders.

And I have a feeling Superman named that drink as part of his superdickery.


I once had a drink called a "flaming blowjob." There's a ton of recipes online for drinks with such a name, but none seem right. It was a shot, 2 or 3 distinct layers. You lit it on fire and sucked the drink and flame through a straw.

I wish to find it again.

Instead my friends and I got into flaming Dr. Peppers, and variations where we switch amaretto with whatever we feel like, tequlia, whiskey etc.

I don't know if those count as girly drinks or not. If not, and this is a tangent I apologize.

But I don't like most fruit-flavored things (except Strawberry- I do like Strawberry margaritas)

Usually I prefer to drink whiskey or cognac, and I prefer both straight.

[RickThunderclees]

Oh I see....thanks for the info. I knew that together they had some sort of kryptonic effect on myself.

[Athena Bast]

Actually, now that I think of it, I think I might be comfortable with it as long as immediately afterwards I could have a shot of Scotch.

And keep in mind, I absolutely fucking loathe the taste of Scotch, but if there's a manlier drink, I haven't found it.

Prune Juice

[howyadoin]

What's the name of the drink?Vodka Red Bull.

[clayholio]

I think Starbucks bases its entire business around this theory.
I don't like the taste of Starbucks coffee. Does that count?

I don't mind sweet drinks, but I rarely order them. The closest I come is a White Russian, in perpetual honor of The Dude. Usually, my drink is a double Jack and coke, though. Pretty much the antithesis of an umbrella drink.

[Alex L]

What's the name of the drink [Vodka/Red Bull]? I have some very unappropriate names in mind, but....well, I'm trying to be nice this year.

Raging Bull?

I think Starbucks bases its entire business around this theory.

When I was working at Starbucks, most of our business was actually just plain coffee.

We were probably the only store in our district for which this was true, though. So in general, you're probably right.

As long as there's enough booze in there to get you drunk, what's wrong with your drink tasting good?

[Tages]

As long as there's enough booze in there to get you drunk, what's wrong with your drink tasting good?

I don't like the taste of fruity mixed drinks. If I want fruity, I'll just drink wine.

And by "fruity" I really mean "as related to fruit," nothing to do with sexual orientation.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

As long as there's enough booze in there to get you drunk, what's wrong with your drink tasting good?

The thing is, as you become an -- ahem -- experienced drinker, your tastes evolve. I grew up thinking Miller High Life was the best beer in the universe. Silly, silly man. Once you appreciate the taste of a good scotch, a good beer or a good red wine, you'll never drink those sugary chick drinks again.

[Dan Apodaca]

I don't like the taste of fruity mixed drinks. If I want fruity, I'll just drink wine.

And by "fruity" I really mean "as related to fruit," nothing to do with sexual orientation.

Well, then it wouldn't taste good to you, so it's kind of moot to what I'm saying.

I like to sound less pretentious, but that's more or less my experience. Smirnoff Ice got me into alcohol and there was a time I was fine drinking Coors (and other popular American brands), but I've since found myself unable to drink the stuff. I wouldn't say I drink fancy beer, but I do want it either imported or a microbrew.

And my Johnny Walker needs to be at least black label.

Are whiskey sours chick drinks?

What about tequila sunrises?

I'll agree with the first one, most people I know don't have the love affair with whiskey that I have but I will put forth an alternate explanation for the 2nd one. There are some people who love coffee so much that they want to have coffee flavor in all their drinks, regardless if they actually want coffee or not. Personally, if it's cold and I'm wanting a hot milkish-drink, I'd rather have a Cafe-au-lait than a hot a chocolate because coffee is the second most delicious flavor after whiskey.

[Tadhg Adams]

I'd say no on the first but god yes on the second. That said, I love me an Espresso Martini. It's the only Vodka Martini that I will ever admit to loving.

See, this is why I'm totally lost on this subject. I can't see what differentiates a chick drink from a flavored guy's drink. I mean, a tequila sunrise still tastes like tequila, just with some extra citrusy goodness added on.

As opposed to a Jack & Coke, which tastes way more like Coke than Jack. But somehow that's a decidedly manly drink.

I think it's all bogus.

Tequila is a pussy liquor to begin with. Where are my panties? And Jack is a manly liquor because it's so piss that only a man would drink it.

[Chris Nowlin]

Are whiskey sours chick drinks?

What about tequila sunrises?

I do drink whiskey sour, but mainly 'cuz I'm making it for other people anyway. Left to my own devices, I think whiskey is better without the sour.

I dunno if it's a chick drink or not. There's a gradual transition from bacardi silver or B&J stuff to chugging 151 out of the bottle.

Most guys I know prefer not just straight alcohol and want a whiskey sour or tequlia sunrise or whiskey&coke etc. They're also lazy and want to make drinks by mix alcohol with one thing already in fridge. So they would probably prefer such drinks be classified as "nonchick".

For the sake of argumentativeness, if you need to add flavoring, or ice, to your alcohol, that's girly.

[Dan Apodaca]

Tequila is a pussy liquor to begin with.

Now, I know you're crazy. That shit is made from a cactus! How much more manly can you get than a drink that's made from something with spikes on it?

Also, it is good for getting completely hammered..

[Dan Apodaca]

For the sake of argumentativeness, if you need to add flavoring, or ice, to your alcohol, that's girly.

The qualifier at the beginning of that sentence forces me to reconsider my stance on the subject.

[StoneGold]

Well, there was this one time in Tijuana, I saw a pussy drink tequila. You'd think that would be painful.

How much frou-frou shit has to be made with a liquor before it's realized that it's a total chick liquor? Tequila should should just be filed with Vodka as total chick alcohol. If you want to be a real man, drink bourbon from a dirty glass.

[howyadoin]

... a Jack & Coke, which tastes way more like Coke than Jack.Depends entirely on how you mix it.

[Chris Nowlin]

Webster's definition:

A girl drink is:

1) a drink such that there exists a bar in which someone has ordered said drink and the bartender has placed an umbrella in the cup
2) a drink which, if ordered by a male in a "redneck" establishment, would cause said male to be beaten within an inch of his life for homosexual tendencies
3)a drink which a woman who is not a lumberjack would drink

[Chris Nowlin]

Depends entirely on how you mix it.

I like 2 shots whiskey to 0 shots Coke. Tastes like whiskey.

And trust me, I like my Coke.

[Serik]

Hey now don't knock tequila. Patrón is one my favorites for drinking straight. It's just damn smooth.

[Nikita]

Are you comfortable of your own sexuality enough to drink something with three kinds of fruit juice and some alcohol in it?

I think you're making sexist broad generalizations about certain drinks. Some of us, like "virgin" drinks with fruit juice mister! (if you're a pussy like me that is)

(just teasing by the way)

[Tages]

Depends entirely on how you mix it.

Speaking of which (referring to an earlier convo on Rita's), I found out that a drink that's a mix of tequila and vodka already has a name: everglow. According to Rolling Stone it's a popular drink in Miami's hip-hop community.

Yes, I have way too much time on my hands.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

And my Johnny Walker needs to be at least black label.

You like to sound less pretentious, meaning you are that pretentious but just don't want to sound that way?

Kidding. Whiskey and sour is not a chick drink, tequila sunrise is. I don't know why, but it's in the rules.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

Webster's definition:

3)a drink which a woman who is not a lumberjack would drink

I approve of this definition.

[Cam63]

I stick to Aussie beer and occasionally have whisky.

[thespianphryne]

Are you comfortable of your own sexuality enough to drink something with three kinds of fruit juice and some alcohol in it?

I am indeed. However I have some mercy for my poor abused body so I don't drink the fuit juice cocktails. The sugar in those drinks will kill you every time.

[Cam63]

Sugar wuss.

[Dreadstar]

Whiskey and sour is not a chick drink, tequila sunrise is. I don't know why, but it's in the rules.

I think it's a granfather clause, along with Manhattens and highballs and Old Fashioneds and Rob Roys. If it was good enough to get our granfathers hammered, etc, etc, so forth. My grandfather drank Hot Toddys. Definitley not masculine. But he evened it out because he smoked Camel non-filters and cooked his own moonshine.

As for the Tequila Sunrise? It has grenadine in it. You know, like a Shirley Temple.

Bingo. My dad drinks CC Manhattans, but my grandpa was a Brandy Old Fashioned man. I think he owned stock in Korbel. Or should have.

[Winslow]

I only drink beer and wine. So no, no girly drinks for me.

No manly scotch or whiskey either.

I'm just a lazy-drinker, that can't be bothered . . . .

[jessecuster3]

I drank a giagantic frozen raspberry margarita this weekend. But these aren't really margaritas, they are pools of tequilla that you swim around in for a while and come up drunk !

[Ed Cunard]

Or, said differently--if it's the kind of recently-developed drink designed to look pretty in a chain restaurant alcohol menu, it ain't manly.

[Justin Davis]

Is cranberry and vodka a girlie drink? What if it comes with a slice of lime? Because I get those all the time.

I never really think about what others think of me when I'm drinking. I drink it because I like the taste. Same reason I drink cranberry juice (and a few of the cranberry-blends) and other fruit juices at home. I even bought some cranberry-flavored vodka and mixed it with orange juice.

[borateen]

I'm married and have proof that my manhood functions properly, hence I can drink whatever I want, secure in knowing that my wife controls the whip on me anyway.

Same here. Other than vodka or tequila, I don't like much strait alcohol. Well, maybe some good rum.

Add a bit of Triple Sec and you've got yourself a Cosmopolitan. Cosmopolitans were originally mixed as a Martini with more vodka than cranberry juice, the juice being there mostly for colour. Now they also show up on drink menus as a tall drink with lots of juice.

My girlfriend might be disappointed and surprised to hear that. My penis even more so.

Dingdingding. Give the man a ceegar.


I really don't like "girly" drinks any more. I much prefer the flavor and aroma of a good bourbon or scotch. In fact the only mixed drink that I'll still drink is a Manhattan, and it has to be made with rye (if available) or bourbon. The vermouth and the angostura can do some wonderfully complex things with a good bourbon or rye.

[Lord of Denial]

When I was in High School I had the worst taste in Booze and Beer.

Colt 45
St. Id's
Mickies
Mad Dog

And you know Boones farms for the ladies.

Now if I drink which is not often with the kids and all I try to go high end and will spend some coin on good scotch and the like.

[Haunt]

i'll drink the occassional Hurricane because they are so cheap.

[The Batman]

So, where does the gin and tonic fall on this list?

[K'Nort]

And Jack is a manly liquor because it's so piss that only a man would drink it.

[Justin Davis]

Anything with cranberry in it is a chick drink.

Man law.

I drank a tall cranberry & vodka and a small one earlier tonight. I have to admit part of me asked the waitress to bring me the second one is a regular, small glass because the bigger one looked girly. It still tasted good though.


My girlfriend might be disappointed and surprised to hear that. My penis even more so.

Aw, my penis is going to get sad. He needs something to be happy about. My penis cries when he's happy.

Gin and tonic is a girly drink.

I disagree, Gin is not inherently a girlie liquor, and adding tonic water doesn't make something girlie by itself.

[Tages]

Being as Corona is unbearable sans the lime, no.

[Dreadstar]

Being as Corona is unbearable sans the lime, no.

I've always had a duality to the lime question. Fruit in beer is ... wrong. However, for beer like Corona and South Pacific, they're necessary to hide the skank.

I should hook you up with some Negra Modelo (http://www.gmodelo.com.mx/eng/marcas/negramodelo.html). I heard it's quite good beer.

[Gingold]

I'll drink a Blue Moon with an orange in it.

[K'Nort]

I disagree, Gin is not inherently a girlie liquor,

Even though it's inherently British?

Gin and tonic isn't fruity enough or sweet enough to be a girly drink. A properly made one still tastes like it has gin in it. Its distant cousins, the mojito and mint julep, are girly drinks.

Morna and I drink gin and soda as opposed to gin and tonic. Tonic has sugar and soda does not. You can definitley taste the gin in a gin and soda. Mmmmm... juniper.

I should hook you up with some Negra Modelo (http://www.gmodelo.com.mx/eng/marcas/negramodelo.html). I heard it's quite good beer.
It IS! It's the beer of choice for Mexican food. Lime is unnecesary but quite nice in it once in a while.

[Callie]

I never said it was fruity. I'm well aware of what a mint julep is--bourbon whiskey, mint, sugar syrup, and ice. Granted, it's not quite as sugary as a standard girly drink, so I'll concede to you that it's a "gentleman's drink" because it has a historical association with a sporting event. However, it is something women would order on a menu because it's sweet and doesn't taste as much like liquor. :p

[thehod]

Gin and tonic (with lime people, never lemon) is a sophisticates drink, like a good brandy with a monster cigar. Not really a manly drink, but certainly not girly by any stretch.

Voddy Red Bull is a slight girly drink, but I still like it. Well, I did until I had a pint and a half of it sat in front of me last Friday night. A great drink, but when you get to that level you can only sleep for about three hours before sitting bolt upright wide awake.

Anything that has fruit juice in it is a girly drink. Period. Doesn't mean a man can't drink it though, he just has to knock it back in one to regain his manhood. Be warned, Peach Bacardi Breezer tastes almost as bad coming up as it does going down.

[Valmore]

Manly men drink whatever they want and then punch anybody who heckles them about it in the face.

I only drink two mixed drinks and under specific circumstances. I'll have a mint julep every derby day. I switch to straight bourbon after the race.

I'll drink bloody marys on Sundays, for breakfast, or on airplanes.

When I was a newb drinker, I got started on a couple daquiris and whiskey sours. I can't imagine touching either anymore.

I am not a Girl Drink Drunk. The girlest drink I have regularly is frozen margaritas, I'll drink almost any flavor. Mmmmm...margaritas!

See my usual drink is a gin and tonic or possibly, if I'm in the mood, a pint of beer if there's something good on tap. Lately I've been going for Toronto's Mill Street Tankhouse Ale, or even Dooryard. That being said, if it's around I'll still drink vodka and whatever but I do down those pretty fast.

I've always wanted to try a mint julip, but I don't think I'd be getting the full experience unless I totally got to dandy it up.

No Manhattans?

I enjoy a Manhattan with Rye every now and then. My grandfather always offered afternoon drinks at big family get togethers and sometimes served Manhattans but usually offered Old Fashioneds. Both drinks are made excellent by the addition of Angostura bitters.

Continuing a question on Rita's:

Which is the most manly of whiskeys? Bourbon? Scotch? Sour mash?

[Dreadstar]

Continuing a question on Rita's:

Most bourbons are sour mash, including some of the best.

I think you mean a non-bourbon sour mash like a Jack Daniels?

Anyway, it depends on what you mean by manly. If manly means it'll make your eyes water, then Jack Daniels.

Personally, I'd say a few of the Islay Scotchs are probably more manly by taste, in that case.

Make no mistake, however. I'll give you 'man credit' for whiskey, even if it's from a degenerate country like Canada or Ireland.

They get progessively smoother.

Single Barrel is noticably stronger.

I find Jack undrinkable. It's rough going down and burns in a bad way.

Gentlmen Jack is my preference, usually, especially if I feel like getting drunk. It's smooth enough that it's easy to drink, so I can drink a lot of it, strong enough to have an effect. Last Halloween, I drank most of a bottle of Gentleman Jack. It's one of those drinks you can do that with. Got me good and drunk, but I also slept well and woke up feeling fresh.

Single Barrel can be a bit too strong on me sometimes and leave me with a headache in the morning if I have too much.

The short answer to your question is: yes.

Started with rum coke and now I'm hooked on Tequila and Johnny Walker. The fact that cocktails could get me drunk made me realize I need to pick up the big guns.

[Callie]

I learned to drink at college parties. Therefore, my first drinks were Rum & Cokes, trash can punch, and cheap keg beer. When I was 19/20, I tagged along with my older coworkers to the major clubbing area of town and they would sneak me drinks...fruity stuff like midori sours, margaritas, cosmos, whiskey sours, etc. Considering they were all guys, I realize now that they were girl drink drunks.

I didn't learn to appreciate good beer or simpler cocktails until I turned 21--when drinking no longer held any sort of illicit association.
