Quittin' Time
 

At 7:00pm heading over to one of the local pubs.. I can almost taste the JD now.. :)

The infamous DOLA Post...

Now I enjoy my JD very kindly, yes I do, but I'm wondering, what is a very good mixed drink that is somewhat fruity, that wouldn't be considered too "girly" (no offense intended to the female FOFC'ers out there).

Looking for some ideas..

I just need a couple of drinks as this has definitely been one of those grinder of a days. You take off for a extended weekend and you would think the entire world is collapsing when you get back to work.... Geez.... It's only work.

Something a little more mellow but with still plenty of Jack...

Manhattans are great, but if you want to ensure that you feel all man, put it in a highball glass.

Edit: Also get it with Maker's Mark, not Jack Daniels.

I'm probably getting smashed tonight on endless streams of Amaretto and Coke since it looks like I'm being stood up on a planned outing.

Try an amaretto sour with grenadine.

Amaretto Sours are good.

there great.

Italian alcohol is always great :)


never had amaretto and coke.

some say amaretto and dr. pepper too.

Also, Long Island iced tea isn't bad either.

Try it with the grenadine, it almost tastes like a sweetart

Personally, I like to take a hit off the crack pipe once I get off from work.

Agreed, but they are oh so girly.

When I wanted fruity drinks in college, I always mixed Popov vodka with a 99 cent two liter bottle of squirt.

Margaritas have lime, but only the rocks is not girly - the frozen ones are girly.

I would have to go with Gin and Juice as the best fruity, non-girly drink, although you are missing out if you pass of the Popov and Squirt.

As long as it is not made with the fake Long Island mix, I agree.

Texas Tea, bitches...

What? You mean you didn't like Taaka & Tab, or maybe a Gilbey's & Grape? :D

If you are going to use Popov, get 2 of those large bottles, get 2 cases of Nati, 2 2 liters of lemonade, mix them all up in one of these:
And wa-lah, you have Super Juice.

I bought a bottle of Taaka for the NL poker tournaments. Not for myself, but for anyone who misdeals at the table. Taaka is the penalty shot you take for screwing up.
