Who doesn't like cocktails? I know there are probably some people out there who don't, but the mixed drinks are pretty popular. But have you ever wondered which ones were the most manly? Admittedly, the thought has never crossed my mind, but I'm glad someone else has thought of it. Over at Holy Taco, they've put together a list of the top 11 manliest cocktails in the world. Why 11? I'm not sure, but the more the merrier I guess.
Some of the drinks that made the list are the snake bite and the rusty nail. I'll let you check it out for yourself to see cocktail came out on top. Oh, and if you're really interested in the drinks on the list, Holy Taco also provided the recipes.

Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)

Wait, I didn't realize an Irish Car Bomb counted as a cocktail. I would say, in general, a cocktail cannot have more than two ingredients and still be manly. And definitely, no garnish. This of course excludes the Martini and Manhattan for the reasons described at the article...

Apart from the rather dubious taste of its name, surely the Irish Car Bomb can't be considered manly because it contains Bailey's, which is a quintessentially girly drink. But since ordering one in an Irish bar would inevitably get you into a fist-fight, it might be considered manly in that way.

They are cranking it to 11. Obviously.

Martinis should be consumed dirty.

The 11 comes from Spinal Tap the movie. Real men have amps that goto 11 on the volume knob.
