There is nothing manly about veggie burger and Appletinis – at least this is what a self-respecting man would say. If you think it is now time to go past those extra sweet, flowery-smelling, garnished, and fruity-tasting girly drinks, there certainly are some highly popular male alcoholic drinks to try. Let's find out more about some of the most powerful and time-tested manly drinks.
20 Recommended Alcoholic Drinks for Men
Rum and Coke
If you love the taste of Pepsi or Coca Cola, you will also enjoy the taste of rum and coke. Rum compliments coke and makes it spicier. It may not be one of the best manly drinks, but it certainly means you are moving in the right direction.
Jack and Coke
Jack Daniels and coke is an interesting variation of the rum and coke, but it is stronger in terms of taste. You just need to mix the whiskey with coke and there you go. You can try some alternatives, such as Jim Beam and coke or Southern Comfort and coke.
Boilermaker
Boilermaker is definitely from the "depth charge" or "bomb shot" category of drinks. Just fill up a pint of beer ¾ of the way up, add a shot glass of whiskey, and down it in one go without spilling a drop. You are definitely going to ask for another one.
Irish Car Bomb
Try this famous bomb shot and you will fall in love with it. Opt for one-half Irish cream and one-half Irish whiskey into a stout of Irish whiskey. A word of caution – it is not for the faint of heart.
Manhattan
Order a Manhattan if everyone around you is enjoying hard alcohol. Made with a dash of bitters, sweet vermouth, and a variety of rye, whiskey, scotch, or bourbon with a cherry on top, a Manhattan is certainly a man's drink mainly due to the strength of the liquor.
Dirty Martini
Most men love this sleek combination of vermouth, gin, olive juice, and olives. Order this at any bar and you will look classier than any fruit cocktail drinking wimp. Be ready to have a throat burning sensation when enjoying your dirty martini.
