Manly Drinks

Posted by Bravado Living On October - 7 - 2010

You are a young man, perhaps you have a college degree; you might even have earned yourself a nice job with your very own cubicle. Now that you are in the real world, it’s about time you started to drink like it. See, when you go out with your co-workers, you cannot expect them to take you seriously when you order an Adios Mother Fucker. More importantly, try a drink that doesn’t match half of your little sister’s wardrobe. So put down that Amaretto Sour (pansy) and grab one of these drinks. They will put some hair on your chest.

Drink of the Week: Rusty Nail

Posted by Bravado Living On November - 22 - 2009

Now that’s a name that will put some hair on your chest. This simple drink is easy to make, commands respect at the bar, and tastes a lot better than it should. Here’s the recipe:

Rusty Nail

Rusty Nail

Ice

1.5 oz. of Scotch Whisky

Splash of Drambuie

Lemon Twist (Optional)

Grab a heavy glass tumbler. The cup is important. It should fit your hand like a firm handshake. Men don’t drink from stemmed or footed glassware.

Add ice. If you have time, make large blocks of ice and chip to fit in your cup. The large ice cube will melt less than several cubes and won’t water down your drink.

Pour the whisky directly on the ice. This will super chill the whisky making it more refreshing and helping to eliminate the bite (pussy). Swirl several times to help lower the temperature even more.

Then splash the drambuie directly into your cup. Gently, now.The key here is to compliment the whisky, not overpower it.

Gulp down.

Then make yourself another one to sip and enjoy. The first will warm the soul and melt your stress away. The second you can use to savor and enjoy.

Also, leave the lemon twist out. There’s only one kind of twist a man should like, and that’s this one.

Posted by Chuck Nelson On June - 30 - 2009

Any self-respecting gentlemen keeps his whisky in a decanter (whisky for scottish, whiskey for american). It helps to release the aromas and delicacies of finer whisky. It also looks great in the corner of your office on top of your home bar. At this price point, there’s no reason to toss your MaCallan bottle aside and opt for this beautfully decorated decanter set.

Whisky Decanter

Heavy and sturdy, this glass set holds it’s own against deceptively expensive $1,000 decanters. Toss the matching glasses though and replace them with a brandy snifter, sip it at room temperature and revel in the joy of charred barrel aging.
