    Ok lads, whats an acceptable cocktail for a man to drink? I know the temptation will be to say beer only or perhaps petrol but let's be honest here.

    Personally speaking, I think only Mojitos are acceptable. Straws should not be used. Also, women should not be allowed to drink them at all, as it unacceptably feminises this tasty beverage.

    And what? You afraid of a little pink umbrella Maxi ? :pac:

    Dell was into his flamboyant drinks, but was not one for 'nufters' as he put it.

    If you arent man enough to order any cocktail off the menu then;

    No I wouldn't say afraid of the umbrella. Irritated more like. It serves no practical purpose and should therefore be discarded. Mojo's require no decorative enhancements.

    I don't think Dell is good example as I regard him as a cretin.

    Finally, a pint of Mojito cries alcohol problem to be honest.

    A man should only ever be seen with a cocktail when in the company of a woman!

    +1 for the vodka martini, shaken not stirred of course!

    But THE real James Bond was Mr Connery. (who came 3rd in the Mr Universe competition in 1953!)

    Not really one for the cocktails but I've tried a few that are descent and I would have again. Not sure if they're acceptable though.

    Chocolate Martini is really good. But comes in a girly glass.

    Black Russians don't really look like cocktails so you can get away with looking like your drinking coke. And they taste good.

    Lovely drink as well, and for some odd reason I had never tried one untill about 2 years back, despite being a life long James Bond fan. It's definitely a man's cocktail, no doubt about it. ;)

    Oh, and just for you:

    A straight-guy drink!

    Vodka martinis are nice, but shaken is bad.

    If its served by a scantily clad woman on a tropical beach - anything you want is acceptable.

    Any of them are as long as they're served in either a coconut or a little tiki man thingy.
