Hey, the article Angela posted was written by James Raiswell, presumably a man.

Third, we took my Mother-in-Law to Roy's for Mother's Day brunch and I had the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. I liked it so much, I had two of them. They actually squeeze (or whatever you do to get tomatoe juice) their own tomatoes and make their own Bloody Mary mix. But, they only do it for Easter and Mother's Day. The meal was fabulous, but I'd go back just for the drinks.

The tomatoes are quartered, cooked and then pressed thru a sieve or rotomill. I've had way too many tomatoes out of the garden at times.

Sounds wonderful a good bloody mary is a great find. Love them.

I think we need an acid test for "manly" drinks. How about...

They're only manly if you can imagine ____________ ordering one and drinking it.

Insert name of your favorite manly man in the blank.

Mr. T.
Arnold Schwarzeneggar
Jackie Chan

Hmm, the thing is, some of these guys are so super-manly that you can imagine them making a Cosmo seem kind of butch....

I would define it differently. I would say that a drink is only "manly" if you can envision yourself kicking back in a lounge chair with your Maui Jim sunglasses on, wearing your Tommy Bahama shirt, shorts and flip flops while Scarlett Johansson orders _____________ and brings it to you while holding it with two hands. Now THAT would be a manly drink.

I would have to say that aside from beer and wine. My two favorite mixed drinks are Vodka Collins and Strawberry Margueritas.

I also like shots of tequila and bacardi 151.

OMG! I think I'm a man!

I admit this is indeed quite commendably manly. Although...I'm not sure you need this specific outfit. You just need Scarlett!

yeah, you are probably right. And, it wouldn't matter if the beverage were tap water or a Shirley Temple.

I enjoy Kamakazi's and Margarita usually frozen different flavors with some good Tequila

We used to have Kamikazi parties in college. Those were the days.

This reminds me of all the Long Island Ice Teas I used to have as well.

First of all, why are so many women making comments on what a "manly" drink is?

Secondly, men would NEVER use the word "manly" to describe a drink. So, the entire thread is puzzling to me.

Third, we took my Mother-in-Law to Roy's for Mother's Day brunch and I had the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. I liked it so much, I had two of them.

Lastly, when I first saw this thread, I thought it was about drinks you have on "Manley Beach" in Australia while admiring all of the gorgeous people many of which prefer not to wear clothing.

That Bloody Mary sounds delish! My mouth is watering.

I've had my share of them, many moons ago. They can be deadly!

I'm with Boca on this one. B-E-E-R Now as far as manly men drinking a particular drink, Chuck Norris should be our guide.

Question. When I go to a restaurant and order a steak, I like to get a New York Steak. In New York, they probably just call it a Steak.

When I go to MacDonald's and order fries, they are called "French Fries." When, I go to France and order the same thing, they call them "Pomme Frites" which means Fried Potato. They drop the "French" adjective.

When I go to a pizza place and order a Phillie Cheesesteak, I get a sandwich with sliced and grilled meat, onions and peppers and melted provolone cheese. If I am in Pat or Gino's or Jimmy's in Philadelphia, they call it simply a cheese steak.

So, if I go to Long Island and I order an "Iced Tea." Do I get the alcoholic version or the herbal version?

You would order an "Iced Tea" for the herbal version. If you ordered a "Long Island Ice Tea," you would get the alcoholic version. Most likely tho, if you order a "Long Island Iced Tea" the waiter will ask, to be sure that you want the alcoholic version, unless you're in a bar/nightclub.

Before I die, I want to to to Philly get a good cheese steak . I want a New York Hotdog. I figure both those will boost my cholesterol so bad that will be the end, but I'll go with a smile.

Huh, started looking at the food and forgot about the topic of this thread. I am sure distracted easily.

Okay, I like to sit on the patio with a nice sauv blanc in the summer. Beer is from my old buddy Sammy, even if it is a little heavy for summer.

I feel like Homer...Mmmm Cheese Steak.

Dang,

Now I want a Philly Cheesesteak from Pat and Gino's. Yes, I would get one from Pat's, then go across the street and get one fro Gino's.

I'll have that with my bloody Mary. Where am I going to get a cheesesteak today?
