Best Gentleman Drinks For The Summer

While vacationing in Cuba a few weeks ago, we were surprised at the number of men walking around in their barely there swimsuits, drinking Piña Coladas. We suppose an all-inclusive resort located thousands of miles away from everyday people and places would be the best place to indulge in sugary rum-infused goodness, but back home you may be strapped for ideas about which manly mixed drinks you can serve alongside your basketball munchies. When we’re craving a drink without the term “on the rocks” strapped to the end of it, these are four of our go-to mixed drinks.


Dark ’N’ Stormy

We’re sure you’ve had one of these, but have you had it with Fentimans Ginger Beer? Probably not, since Fentimans can be hard to come by in the United States. A road trip to a neighboring town may be necessary to experience the incomparable bite of this ginger beer, and we wholeheartedly approve of such dire action. Just be sure to sleep off your Dark ’N’ Stormy hangover before heading back home.


What you need:

• Ice
• 1.5 shots rum
• 120 ml of Fentimans Ginger Beer
• 1 slice of lime

Adios Mother F*cker


If you just can’t shake your need for a colorful drink, you’re going to have to pay for it later; at least, we did when we first tried an Adios Mother F*cker. It’s basically a Long Island Iced Tea with 7Up and Blue Curaçao instead of Coke and gomme syrup. Yes, it tastes as badass as it sounds.
What you need:

• Ice
• ½ shot rum
• ½ shot vodka
•  ½ shot tequila
• ½ shot gin
•  ½ shot Blue Curaçao
• 60 ml bar lime
• 60 ml 7Up soda

Smoked Lemonade and Bourbon
