A nice single malt scotch, or something pink! ---

And waitress, this time no giggling. God I love KITH. For the record a chick drink is any drink that gets an umbrella. Of course if your a manly man then any drink with fruit juice is a girl drink. ---

Strictly speaking it wasn’t a chick but my college buddy has a high wussiness quotient. His preferred drink then was \ Black Velvet and Squirt. ---

I never realized the rules about “chick drinks” were so strict. I know _lots_ of guys who drink Cosmopolitans, Long Island Iced Teas, Margaritas, Seven and Sevens, and Rum and Cokes. To me these drinks are neutral . . . no gender association. In my crowd, a drink’s ability to knock you on your ass can save it from being considered a “chick drink”, for example, Long Island Ice Teas. When I think of a “chick drink”, I think of the drinks from the KITH sketch - something served in a hollowed-out pineapple with an umbrella and two straws. ---

[blender] **I’M FINE! I’M JUST LOOKING FOR PAPERCLIPS!** [/blender] _Come on,it’s a girl drink… It tastes like candy, Ray…like Candy, Ray…like candy, Ray…_ “Girl Drink Drunk”, what a classic KITH skit. I would also like to move to strike White Russians from the list, I honor of The Dude, and also because I used to drink them constantly during my binge drunk days. ---

Wait a minute people. Just because a drink is sweet doesn’t make it a chick drink. I like Jim Beame and Seven Up and I’ll lick any m… Uh, that doesn’t sound the way I intended. Anyone who calls that a chick drink, well I’ll just kick his friggin’ ass! Sorry about that testosterone moment. Sweetness isn’t enough to define a chick drink, it’s got to have lots of fro-frou value. Rum and coke and whisky coke are **not** chick drinks. Perhaps the BV+Squirt combination was not strictly speaking frou-frou but it was really weird. ---

I don’t add ice and keep the rum cold. About 1/3 rum and 2/3s juice, I think you would like it. I recommend it to everyone that likes coconut juice as it’s easy drinking. Goes down smooth and if you want, add more of the rum for the full flavor. \> > > B) \ I object to the word “Tech” in conjunction with this drink.

Chick drinks are alcoholic drinks that actually taste GOOD. 😃 beer? EEEWWWW!!! Give me a fruity-tooty-froofroo frozen sugar-crusted whipped cream topped drink anytime. ---

Primarily I only drink in professional settings. In this context, men can drink beer and hard liquor drinks that are clear or brown. Men can also drink margaritas at mexican restaurants (but not strawberry margaritas) and wine with dinner. (But you can’t drink a glass of wine at a bar.) Anything else, and you’re a pansy. Although Long Island ice teas qualify, if you drink them you’ll be thought of as a drunk. This only applies in the professional world, of course. Men in college can drink anything they want. They’ll get razzed if it’s pink, but they can deflect this if the drink has a lot of booze in it. –Cliffy ---

This little concoction made certain all of my college parties were a whole lot of fun… in a blender… fill it 1/6 to 1/4 way full with vodka (something cheap will do, like smirnoff)… then drop in frozen sweetened strawberries (available in your grocer’s freezer case… you’ll probably have to cut the frozen block in half so it’ll hit the blades) then toss in between 1/3 and 1/2 cup of plane old boring granulated sugar (cuts the burn from the cheap vodka, amount of sugar varies with amount of cheap vodka)… now pack it full as you can with ice, fill the air space around the ice with Cran-Raspberry or cran-strawberry (ocean spray makes good ones)… blend it until it’s, well, blended we called them fu-fu drinks… and people just lap em up (especially the chicks, hence the whole chick drink thing) great on a hot summer day… one caveat, since you can’t taste the alcohol, you will suddenly find yourself extremely fuct up… like I said, it made all of my college parties very interesting (ummm… should be taking your shirt off? ok, whatever)… was especially cool to pull out the camera and get a photo of the woman that’s now my wife kissing another girl… damn I miss college [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-a-chick-drink/79548.md?page=2)
