Anything with a straw.
I drink only 3 things in a bar. Beer on tap, a whiskey sour, or a shot of vodka.
Usually, it's a whiskey sour, followed by a Coke on the Rocks. If I'm getting tore up, it's a Coke with Rum.
But usually, 3 or 4 ( a few) whiskey sours for the night means I got a bit of a buzz, but I"m still OK.
Anything not pink or pastel. (Cosmopolitans are out, sorry.)
I drink whatever I feel like. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a Cosmopolitan (I know a lady bartender in a place in Easton, PA that makes superb Cosmos), and I am secure enough in my masculinity to have one. My cocktail of choice is a whiskey sour, and always order one at a working class strip bar called The Trestle Inn in a warehouse district in Philly that specializes in Whiskey Sours - they use the original recipe that includes egg whites as an ingredient ... does that make me "butch"?
Look: I wear a uniform and a badge and I have a lot of hair on my chest ... no cocktail is gonna take away my masculinity.

I've never understood this either. Men drink sweet non alcoholic drinks all the time and it is never considered feminine. Is drinking a glass of iced tea feminine? No, of course not. It is the same thing with food. People talk about "man" food. So if a woman likes steak, wings, and beer she is considered manly? Life is too short, drink and eat what you want where you want...of course everything in moderation.
I like frozen daiquiris and Bahama Mamas and Rum Runners, all with a floater or two on top.....and *kamikazes "shot to death with club soda" as I coined the phrase....makes them delicious - I order that by the pitcher, which is always the stainless shaker that is ice cold.
If anyone has a problem with me, a guy, drinking them they haven't said it to me so far.
OH! I almost forgot! I love white Russians, too! Taste like yummy chocolate milk!
*(kamikaze = vodka, triple sec and Roses lime juice)
