Drinks For Real Men
AdventureDad | May 15
Summer 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!
