:confused: every female in my family and most of my female friends drink beer.

I don't know about that. Some of the more common fruity drinks when made properly have an incredible amount of booze in them -

Cosmos are mostly pure booze. Mai tai's, hurricanes, *real* margaritas, zombies, alabama slammers, ect are all very strong drinks and will knock you on your butt.

I always considered "girly drinks" low alcohol level and fruity. lemon drops aren't girly...but wine coolers are. make sense?

Here's what I've always thought:

Less girly
Straight liquor
Liquor w/some dilutor
Liquor w/some sweet dilutor
Liquor w/some sweet, fruit-flavored dilutor
Liquor w/some sweet, fruit-flavored dilutor and actual fruit or an umbrella
More girly


I like it.

Lemon Drop

1 ounce Vodka (Citrus-flavored)
1 ounce Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Sugar



It practically comes with a vagina.

never heard of it as a drink. Here if you order a lemon drop you will get absolut citron with a lemon half dipped in sugar on the side. Take shot. Suck lemon.

I've never in my life had a lemon drop with lemon juice in it. Ever!!! And when I used to drink often, it would be a regular drink that we ordered at bars.

It's always been made with a citron vodka (usually absolute), chilled, and served in a shot glass with a slice of lemon coated with sugar.

Yah I was half serious, half joking. I will get fruity drinks myself sometimes.

Hell Long Island's are some of the best drinks you can get for the cost.

If you mask the taste of the booze with fruity or sweet mixers, it's a girly drink.

2 exceptions come to mind:
1. having a cool name
2. serving it in a shot glass

A Kamikaze meets both exceptions.

you actually think there is a difference? 99.9% of the time vermouth hasn't been within 10 feet of your martini

Maybe it is a regional thing, but I've never seen one served the way you describe.

meh. citron = lemon vodka - it has two counts against it already. It is fruit flavored - lemon, and it is a clear alcohol - untrustworthy.

Fruit or a sweet taste and the name makes it a girls drink.

If you took sex on the beach (the drink) and called it Bob's Big Ass Bikini Butt Blaster it would then be a Guys drink even though it was sweet tasting, I think never had one, wouldnt catch me, a 6'4" 400lb guy, walking up to a bar saying give me a Blow Job or Sex on the beach, never had them (the drink again) never will. But if it was named what I wrote I be up there all manly yelling it so all can hear me order it :)
