  micheladas rock, but it’s hard to find anyone who knows how to make it right – there is not much worse than a bad michelada.

  We’ve got a bar in town that makes great caipirinhas, mojitos and michelada’s, but I agree with the above commenter. Mojitos aren’t very manly.

  And the Bull Shot sounds awful. Beef broth and vodka? Awful.

  I’d say that perhaps one or two of these drinks aren’t for limp wristed men. I wouldn’t drink any of them in public, but if you removed the garnish, a Tom Collins might not get you beat up. Maybe. You might as well order a Pink Squirrell or Sex on the Beach if you order a Tennessee Tea.

  Tennessee Tea needs to be removed and replaced with Long Island Iced Tea…

  1 part vodka
  1 part tequila
  1 part rum
  1 part gin
  1 part triple sec
  1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
  1 splash Coca-Cola®

  Skip the sweet and sour mix for a real kick in the nutsack. (The Coke is just for flavor, very little if you’ve never made this drink before)

  It may be a list of drinks for dudettes or pantie waisted primpers, I guess it depends on your definition of “dude”.

  Most of those drinks seriously deserver an umbrella or a skewer of fruit salad.

  I do enjoy a Manhattan every now and then, but I’ve gotta say… I don’t think there’s a more stereotypical old lady drink than a Manhattan. Manhattans, while not screaming girly, don’t exactly scream manly either, as far as I’m concerned. Why ruin your whiskey with sweet fortified wine?
• Okuma says:

  Manhattan? Really? Don’t the hags on Sex and the City drink those? Admit it, you just took 9 random drinks made with whiskey on here, didn’t you? You could’ve ended up with just about anything doing that. I submit that this list is garbage.
  9 Dude drinks
  Beer
  Whiskey, straight
  Vodka, straight
  Tequila, straight
  Bodyshots of ANY kind
  Jaeger, straight
  Jaegerbombs
  Margaritas
  The leftovers in the barrag at the end of the night. (Only really tough/drunk guys can handle this.)

  Irish Car Bomb… how was -that- left off?

  sorry dude, the only manly way to drink jag is straight, red bull is gay, and it makes the jag gay by contact.

  how can no one name the White Russian? easily the best drink for a “dude” other than a nice tasty Busch Light.

  Traditionally daquiris and mojitos are the kinds of drinks Hemmingway threw back in Cuba. Nothing girly about that. It’s the bastardized versions with flavored liquors that have made these drinks unmanly. Men are allowed to like things with complex flavors; we’re not all Budweiser-swilling rednecks.

  Finally, I concur with Ivan: Red Bull sucks. No one over 21 should be caught dead drinking Jaegerbombs in public.

  Turkey Tea – **for turkeys**

  In a highball glass:

  Add one part Nestea Lemon:
  (1/2 can of lemon Nestea (Blue can))

  and 1 part Wild Turkey (about 4 ounces)

  add ice and drink the hell out of them thangs!!

  Hint: adding more Turkey, the wilder it becomes

  How about a 7 & 7?
  One part 7 up, one part Seagram’s 7.
  Or any whiskey with ginger ale. And by “any whiskey” I mean Jameson.

  Drink Guinness this summer. It couldn’t be more simple.
