The Five Least Manly Drinks

UNFINISHED MAN TOP 5 LEAST MANLY DRINKS LISTEN TO JACOB PALMER тO JACОВ If you've ever gone to the bar with a friend, chatted up some girls and then had your buddy order a Cosmopolitan, then you probably have some idea of how yoour choice of drink immediately affects people's image of you. For men that want to maintain that manly image, it is important that you are able to not only know what kinds of drinks to eCA order, but also what types of drinks to avoid in order to maintain that image. Here we'll give you a list of 5 drinks and cocktails that you should avoid at all costs – particularly when in the presence of women you would like to impress! BUT FIRST, LET'S SET THE SCENE COSMOPOLITAN You should really never order a Cosmopolitan as a man. It is a decidedly girly drink, and you are likely to get your balls busted, even by absolute strangers when you order one. The only reason it is number 5 on our list is because it is so well known that the fact that it is not considered manly should almost be common sense at this point. SEA BREEZE The Sea Breeze is a definitively girly drink. The light blend of fruit juices, (usually) woman-friendly amounts of alcohol and fluffy pink coloring are sure to knock any man down a few pegs if he drinks them with regularity. Unless you're on a tropical vacation – leave the Sea Breeze's for the girlfriends. PINA COLADA Pina Colada's are a favorite of women all over the world. They make for a great fruity poolside concoction on vacation, but definitely are not considered to be a 'manly' drink. While the Pina Colada might taste fruity, they usually contain a good amount of rum, which does make them a bit more appealing. DAIQUIRI The fact of the matter is that most people just don't order daiquiri's in day to day life. They are delicious, but most people reserve daiquiri orders for cruise ships and vacations. They contain a small amount of rum, and usually are topped with some sort of fruit garnish, sealing their fate as a forever-girly cocktail. LEMON DROP The Lemon Drop is the go to drink for bachelorette parties all around the world. The simple combination of vodka, lemon juice and sugar makes for a surprisingly sweet concoction that most men should avoid. The lemon perfectly hides the chemically vodka flavor, making it an easy drink that definitely isn't known for 'putting hair on your chest. MANLY GADGETS FOR ENTERTAINING Every man dreams of building the biggest and most excellent home bar in the hopes of entertaining his friends and having hot ladies magically be drawn to it. Whether it's a classy Bond villain affair, a wacky booze den, or a pirate-garage-sports-team-themed extravaganza, we've got you covered with these awesome products. There are a lot of nifty little (or big) toys that will take your man-bar from Justin Bieber' to 'Daniel Craig' in no time, and we've slaved away over this list of the best so you can satisfy your craving for the coolest manly gadgets around. DRINK CHILLERS Often, you'll snag a bottle from the liquor store warm, only to get home and have to water it down with ice to make it palatable. With the HELTER SKELTER DRINKS CHILLER, you can instantly chill a drink with style- this rad looking aluminum spiral gets thrown in the freezer and can cool drinks for hours. If you're the impatient, gadget-loving type, the Rapid Beverage Chiller can cool a can in 60 seconds, and a bottle through and through in mere minutes. It may not look as cool, but it's a trade off for instant gratification. There's something eminently satisfying about tapping a fine ass keg, but since having one on hand at all times is usually too difficult and expensive, try the Beer Tender Kegerator. Conveniently fitting most mini kegs on the market means that you'll have perfectly chilled beer at your fingertips at all times. It also lets you have the satisfaction of pulling your handle in the comfort of your own home, whenever you want.
