5 MANLY Summer Cocktails
Okay. I'll admit it. I sometimes wish I could order one of those huge cocktails with little pieces of fruit in it.. But I don't. Whether it is because I'm scared what the bartender will think of me or whether I'm more scared of my dates opinion, I'm not sure. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever run into this dilemma so I put together a list of 5 manly cocktails you don't have to hang your head in shame over.
1. Gin and Juice
Why is it manly?: Snoop Dogg likes to drink this when there are bitches in his living room gettin’ it on until six o’clock in the morning, so that has to be worth something. Gin and juice was also the morning cocktail of soldiers and officers in WWII. That’s right, this is what you drank right before you killed a bunch of Nazis. You can’t say that about Malibu and pineapple.
Recipe: 2 1/2 ounces Gin.
1 oz. orange juice.
Equal parts mind on your money and money on your mind
2. Manhattan:
Why is it manly: For starters it has man in the title. Though you may say "it’s got a cherry, nothing with a cherry is manly." Well, nibble on this: It’s notorious for being the favorite drink of the Italian Mafia, who are notorious for killing people. I’m not saying killing somebody makes you a man, but it’s probably not the best idea to call someone who just threw someone off a bridge a "cherry drinking pansy."Recipe:*3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 1/2 oz Rye whiskey dash Angostura bitters
1 Maraschino cherry
3. Tequila Sunrise
Why is it manly?:First off, it’s a breakfast cocktail. And secondly, "2 measures tequila" is short for, "as much tequila as your glass will hold." It may look a little fruity but it’s about as tropical as a back alley in Tijuana.
Recipe:
2 measures Tequila Orange juice
2 dashes Grenadine
4. Rusty Nail
Why is it manly?: I can’t put my finger on exactly why, but there’s something oddly macho about asking your girlfriend if she would like to sip on your Rusty Nail.
¾ oz. scotch
¼ oz. Drambuie
1 ounce Campari
Slice of orange
5. Negroni

1 ounce Campari

5. Negroni
Why is it manly?: A pink drink? Didn’t see that one coming, did you? The Negroni is one of the simplest, most classically straight-up cocktails around. Plus it’s all booze: You’re not going to find any of those wimpy mixers in this bitter Italian stallion.
Recipe:
1 ounce gin
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce Campari
Slice of orange

FunFunFunFest: Bob Mould
Robert Arthur “Bob” Mould (born October 16, 1960) is an American musician, principally known for his work as guitarist, vocalist andsongwriter for alternative rock bands Hüsker Dü in the 1980s and Sugar in the 1990s.
Though Mould's sexual orientation was previously something of an open secret, he was outed in the early 1990s; he is now openly gay and in the movie "Bear Nation", self-identifies as a "Bear".
In April 2004, Mould was a co-organizer of the WEDRock benefit concert for Freedom to Marry. "WedRock" was a play on the word "wedlock". The event raised an estimated US$30,000. Mould also contributed the song "See a Little Light" to the 2006 album Wed-Rock: A Benefit for Freedom to Marry, an album to support in the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Product Review: Lighter Mate
If you have been going to concerts or festivals the last couple months, chances are you have probably seen, used or heard about Lighter Mate. I recently had the pleasure of meeting a couple people that work for the company and ended up getting my own Lighter Mate. One of the things I noticed right from the beginning was the awesome color schemes they had available and the ability to customize your own online at
http://www.lightermate.com/.
The Lighter Mate is not a huge breakthrough in lighter innovation nor is it particular fancy. But by combining a refillable lighter with a simple magnet, it helps solve the most pressing issues you would normally face with a lighter. The built in magnets and assorted accessories such as the key chain and necklace attachment, make locating your lighter much easier than it would be with a normal disposable lighter. The only "problem" I have with the built in magnet would be that if it is put in the same pocket as your phone it will stick to it and could cause some problems. Being that Lighter Mate is a refillable butane lighter also helps. as long as you have extra butane.
The Lighter Mate also comes with a small metal plate they call the Mate Plate . The Mate Plate was specifically designed for all you cigarette smokers to put behind the cellophane so that your lighter holds to your pack. The included key ring is also a really nice feature, though I probably won't use it. I tested it out for a couple days and it has not come off my key chain accidentally at all. The case is a little scratched up, but that is to be expected with any painted metal surface after time. It still functions as if it was brand new though.
In conclusion. I love the lighter and have gotten plenty of compliments from people who have seen it. This lighter is not for everyone though. The Lighter Mate runs about $20 and if you lose lighters all the time or have friends who seem to wander off with your lighter, then you might want to look somewhere else. Though I guess after a couple refills you have more than gotten your monies worth. Let me know if you have a Lighter Mate and what you think about it in the comments section or contact me via twitter: @ATXFollowers.
