Boys, we’ve renamed this drink “Apple on the Rocks” because let’s face it: “Appletini” sounds a bit ridiculous coming from anyone out of their college years. When the bartender asks you what goes in an “Apple on the Rocks” look at him with a genuine look of surprise and quickly recite the ingredients and switch out the sourpuss or puckers for some real lime juice. He’ll only realize what he’s making you when you walk away with confidence. Enjoy.
Sex on the Beach
Once upon a time, this was a new-to-the-scene woman’s favorite drink. Since the BK crew gave this drink a much-needed makeover, we don’t see why men can’t enjoy it as well. Maybe you’re embarrassed by its name “Sex on the Beach,” maybe you associate this drink with underage drinking, or maybe you’ve just never had a properly made cocktail. Well, fear not duderinos, our 2011 version of this old time favorite is one drink you will be glad to have ordered. Listen, if the name sill bugs you, you can call it a One Night Stand. You pig.
Mojitos
I feel sorry for anyone who has never had the pleasure of drinking a raspberry mojito. The sweet and tart flavors are simply delicious and the chunks of freshly crushed fruit are a welcome surprise. But the best part of this drink is how fun it is to actually make! There is something to be said about a man who can muddle brown sugar and mint. Boys, imagine bringing back a date to your bachelor pad and wowing them with your mojito making skills; shows a potential partner you’re good with your hands and that’s a point in your favor.
Margarita
Do I really need to convince you to order this drink? I don’t think so. We’ve seen you glaring jealously over your bottles of Corona when we go out for tacos. We know you wish you could be washing down those epic nachos with something frosty and delicious. It’s awesome and you know it. Let’s face it, we know you tear up during the Pixar movies so there’s no point pretending you’re super hardcore. You don’t have to be honest with me (I’m already judging you) but you should be honest with yourself. Crushed ice, lime, tequila, salt? What’s not to love? Suck it up, this drink rocks!
Rose Wine
Probably one of the most under appreciated wines out there is the rose wine. Ladies love it, men hate it. I get it, the rose wine is not as respected as its counterparts, red and white, and since the beverage is vastly enjoyed by lightweight females on a Sunday afternoon in the sun, you’re likely to feel slightly emasculated if someone catches your sipping this chilled fruity wine. But you have to admit, on a nice sunny day, sometimes this may be the most thirst quenching alcoholic beverage out there. Consume with caution, or in the privacy of your backyard.
