5 Classic Cocktails Every Man Should Know

Posted by Queuebot in Food & Drinks on June 13, 2009 at 11:36 pm


The Art of Manliness has a wonderful post on 5 classic cocktails that all men should be familiar with and how to mix them for maximum effect.

There’s been a trend lately to get back to the old way of doing things, especially when it comes to things we ingest. This trend has also entered the world of libations. Drink menus around the country are starting to have more of the old classics included on them. Many mixologists are using these cocktails as starting points for newer versions that take advantage of the plethora of products out there today. Recipe books from classic bars such as the Old Waldorf-Astoria, The Savoy, and the Stork Club are available in reprint editions for the new generation to use. And who can forget Old Mr. Boston? They’ve been printings those books since 1935 and still do to this day.

But you don’t need a recipe book to get started mixing up some of the classic cocktails men have been drinking for decades (and in some cases, more than a century). Here’s how to create the 5 classic cocktails every man should know.

    Cocktails "every man" should know? "Every man who drinks" should be the title. Stereotype alert. Not every man uses drugs such as alcohol because we care about our health and can cope just fine without. How much sense would this make if it were "5 ways to use cocaine" or "5 ways to use weed"?

    No, Jeff, it would be 5 more places to stick that heroin needle that every whore should know.

    What about "five cocktails everyone should know". Because you might have noticed, women drink too. And are capable of mixing drinks! Shocking. Neatorama is really sucking with this archaic gender shit.

    Scotch, neat.

    Or Ice Cold Vodka with a twist of lemon.

    Why Americans always want to put sugar into everything (especially good alcohol) is beyond me.

    Yes, Vonskippy, all Americans are exactly alike, just like all men and all women and all broad brushes.

    Oh come ON neatorama. Just as Lauren mentioned, women also happen to like drinks. Enough with all the "manliness" BS, you have loads of female visitors too, and alcohol is just alcohol. The title really should have been "cocktails Everyone Should Know". Alcohol and mixing drinks isn't a gender specific thing (no matter what the "art of manliness" says) or only for men, k?

    Tsk tsk. Back to the 21st century people.
