The thing is that unless a beach is involved, I am mean to men who order rum.
I can get behind Goslings. And L, your Dark and Stormy looks truly lovely. Rums that waft vanilla, herb? Rumful confections and delights? Fine by me. In my defense, I am only mean to men who order rum mixed with Coke, or who order froofy rum drinks in the dead of winter. It has been this way since the very beginning.
May it please the court, exhibits A-C, A's reactions to rum-ordering:
Exhibit A, circa 2003: Amanda mugs to the audience. Rolls eyes.
Exhibit B, circa 2005: Raises left eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be drinking BOURBON or something?"
Exhibit C, circa 2009: Raises left eyebrow. "Um. Are you actually a PIRATE?"
Maybe I am just a mean person. Maybe I don't like pirates. Maybe I *do* like pirates, but am embarrassed. Maybe I just don't like drinking bourbon when he's drinking rum. Maybe I am secretly a pirate. Other theories?
Discuss.

I don't know that I approve of anyone ordering vanilla rum. I guess I'm neurotic too, because I'd personally prefer that men not order any fancy drinks. Straight up alcohol, fine. Beer, fine. Old school tomato water martinis, fine. Not fine - anything with fruit or sugar on the rim, anything with large garnish floating in it, anything that requires more than three ingredients. Oh my god, I've just realized that I am completely sexist.
No not VANILLA rum; rum that is vanilla-y. And yes. I fear that I too am horribly sexist.
*sigh*
Men who drink whiskey are just hotter. (See: Deadwood)
It's true, one of my good guy friends will drink nothing but cosmopolitans and I can't help but judge him. I mean really? He could at least order a vodka tonic or something.
But on the flip side, why is it still cool if girls order "guy" drinks (like scotch, bourbon, whiskey). I guess for the same reason girls can pull off wearing guy's shirt and guys can't pull off wearing girls shirts. One is sexy and the other is just wrong.
We clearly all have some serious double standard issues.
Or perhaps the pretentiousness antennae are just finely tuned and all a-quiver? We assume sometimes that a person who does the unexpected is pretending.
I love Dark n' Stormys ... it's a pretty masculine drink, right up there with highballs and mules.
Goslings is serious stuff, and seriously good.
um, why do you have three "first milk" blogs? it's really confusing for us lazy people who sometimes get to the blog via your profile.
just saying.
Because I LIKE having three blogs, ESB. And why are you so critical all the time? Hmmmmm? I'm DOING THE BEST I CAN FOR GOD'S SAKE.
(Because I was having trouble deciding on a new domain and then forgot to delete. Glad you're back. xo)
you are. the. best.
Yes rum in hot places only. As for whiskey, I don't like the way I can smell it on a man's skin the next day. It comes through the sweat. Ew.
Gin and tonic, I say, but that's my answer to a lot of things.
Bourbon and whiskey, for guys and gals. Done.
Just to clarify: Scotch and Bourbon are *types* of whiskey. Rye is also a type of whiskey. Irish Whiskey is a type of whiskey.
And when you are in Scotland, don't order "Scotch," like I did. The bartender will look at you askance and ask if you want whiskey.
Do people not know that scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey? I am confused. What is going on?
