Wow. Am I the only one who LOVES exotic girly drinks? I would drink these things more often except I can never remember any of the names.

you're not alone. i'm a huge fan of mojito's, rum punches, and all sorts of delicious sugary [censored].

edit: i've recently started ordering side cars fairly often, is this a good compromise between sugary deliciousness and not seeming like a fruitcake?

Never tried one, but a Tom Collins is a good drink if you want something sweet without the shame.

The bar at the Bellagio sportsbook makes a mean Sunsplash.

just don't take it too far, otherwise you might turn into a girl drink drunk. www.crackle.com/c/Funny/Kids_In_The_Hall_Girl_Drink_Drunk/1051481

i rarely order anything that is more than 1 liquor and 1 mixer. if i know the bartender it's a different story. they usually enjoy showing off, so i let them go hog wild.

Can someone give me a varied list of classy manly drinks to try? Stuff like gin and tonic, crown and coke, etc. I want a go to drink when I meet girls that isn't bottled beer. Most of these drinks will probably come from the Bellagio.

Stay strong brotha! Yeah I order girly drinks all the time because I like the way they taste. I actually started partly as a joke a la Conan O'Brien or JD on Scrubs (<3 the Appletini) but now I just like the taste. I like Appletinis a lot but I also usually just look at the cocktail menu and pick one that sounds good. Most of the time they are good.

If it's a bar that prides itself on its cocktails I'll order of their cocktail menu and I won't rule out drinks on the girliness factor if it sounds tasty.

If I'm at a standard bar 95% of the time I'm drinking beer otherwise shots or something with coke.

There really is no point in ordering a girly drink if they are gonna [censored] it up, but if they are girly drink specialists, then it's usually delicious.

Martini
Manhattan
Rusty Nail
Negroni

All classics your grandfather might order. Plus they mix alcohol with more alcohol, tough guy.

You could also go with scotch (straight up), or bourbon or vodka on the rocks.

Lastly, some classic fixes

Screwdriver
Harvey Wallbanger
Greyhound (though if you are very paranoid about appearance you should check if your bar uses pink grapefruit juice)
