Is a Rob Roy A Manly Drink?

Question

I was reading the novel "Hocus Pocus" by Kurt Vonnegut, and he mentions the drink in a chapter. He then states a woman introduced him to the drink, and a few pages I've looked at say it's sort of a girlie drink.

Anyway, it sounds like a good drink.

Regardless of girlie or not, I'll order it next time I'm out. I just wanted to know out of curiosity if it was considered typically a gentleman's drink, or more of a girlie ordeal?

Any mixed drink is to hide the liquor. Which, when translated, means "girlie"! Drink it straight.

Answer 2

well regardless of ingredients, the name sounds gay

personal opinion -- those are still legal in the US last time I checked

Answer 3

I would say that it is a macho cocktail I mean after all it is made with scotch. But on the other hand it is slightly pink in color:)!

Answer 4

A Rob Roy is a Manhattan made with scotch instead of whiskey. So you make the decision if it's manly for you.

Answer 5

Rob Roy is a most respectable drink, as are all classic cocktails. If you're not man enough to order one and find out- then it's not the drink that's girlie.

By the way, Robert Roy MacGregor was more of a man than you yahoo pansies will ever be in your wettest dreams, so it is pretty funny to hear you nancy boys say the name sounds gay. I'll wager too, the queerest son of Dundee could set you on your ear with both hands behind his back, so I wouldn't laugh so hard me boy-os.

SO... have one neat for me and insist on a dash of bitters. It comes with a cherry garnish, but they'll put a paper umbrella in it if you ask. That's so you can turn around and ask "who wants a punch in the face?" to the first one who laughs.

Enjoy a man's drink long enough and it might make a man of you. Raise your glass and toast to all men brave enough to fight for their home and their freedom- like Rob Roy.

Edit: So... I'm guessing you'll never step up to the rail and proclaim loudly and proudly, "BARKEEP! I'D LIKE A BUNNY HUG!"... (a 1920's tasty concoction, containing gin and whisky- with a kick like a mule) ... LOL
