Drinks For Real Men

tequila sunrise.jpgSummer is almost here and hopefully you’ve got plenty of BBQ’s planned. Perhaps you even get a chance to host your manly buddies for a fun evening. (Reminder, ask boss (wife) for permission first…). For that one night it might be fun to drop the Baby Björn, diapers, baby bottles and put away the stroller. Instead, throw some monster size steaks on the BBQ and serve up some manly drinks for your friends. Holy Taco got a nice list of the manliest cocktails in the world.

My favorite:

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

Since my wife is Mexican I know a think or two about Tequila. We’ve got plenty of fine Anejo Tequila at home. Is Tequila a manly drink? It can be. The fine stuff tastes like fantastic 18 year old Scottish single malt but the cheap nasty stuff, that crap you drank in college, takes a real man and some lime to handle.

When your buddies come over, don’t make any mistakes. Like serving one of the 10 unmanliest drinks in the world…..

Salut!

4 beefs about Drinks For Real Men

  1. I love Tequila sunrises ever since I tried them in Mexico.

    I can’t wait for picnics and BBQs!!


  2. Thank the Lord a “Mojito” wasn’t on there. I do like me some real sugar cane.
    But “Apple-Tini”; that’s gotta be thanks to “Scrubs!”


  3. Tequila is not cool. It makes you crazy. Beer is a man’s drink.
