The words manly and mixed drink are not often used together.
However, if you’re not going to drink it straight, then there’s still hope, as Double Viking has put together a list of the six manliest girly drinks for your sipping pleasure.
Remember: If it’s manly enough for The Dude, then it’s manly enough for you.

Pac-Txt is a text based version of Pac-Man that combines the yellow chomper with Zork.
In the author’s own words: “Wth?! Why would anyone invest the time and effort to build such a useless game?”
Well, I had just got back from a party where the concept of a Pac-Man + Zork hybrid came up as a joke. So, being 2am with a little alcohol in my system, I thought it’d be funny to code it up (as far as I could before collapsing). So, a couple hours later it was looking complete-ish (minus the ghosts’ AIs and graphic assets). The next morning [read: aftenoon] when I woke up, since I have an inability to realize sunk costs, I decided to throw some crappy AI in for the ghosts, put a few graphics on it (courtesy of FastIcon.com) and voila! A domain name purchase or two later, and here we go.

Like most people, I thought Amaretto was an almond liqueur, gin and vodka were completely different liquors, and mixing alcohols will result in a hangover, but each of those facts is are among the ten bar myths that Jeffrey Morgenthaler wants to set straight. Considering his background consists of years of bar tending, I’m going to take his word for it. Plus, he admits that he doesn’t go home with a different girl each night, so you know he’s not doing it for the ego boost. Check it out if you’ve ever wondered why your bartender still measures out shots, or if you just want to know a little more about what goes on behind the bar.

So you’re at the bar, and you go to order a margarita. Ever stop and wonder what that drink is saying about your personality to those around you? According to one waiter, it says, “You’re fun, good in bed, and naughty with a sense of style. If you don’t have it with salt you’re a wimp”. How about a vodka martini? “Sophisticated. You’re classy, old school or a James Bond wannabe”. Sound like someone you know? How about these:
- Cosmopolitan – Prissy, over ordered and passé. Favored by Manolo Blahnik wearing Candace Bushnell devotees who spend all their money on shoes but live in rat hole apartments. Rapidly becoming an old lady drink.
- Chardonnay – You know what you like. Boring. Predictable. The missionary position of white wine.
- Galliano –You’re a waterbed, lava lamp, reel to reel, gold chain wearing, wall to wall shag carpet loving, swinging 70’s disco fool.
- Rob Roy – You’re an alcoholic.
After reading this list, you may just want to reconsider the message you’re sending out when you order a round of sidecars for the bar.
