He looked at Tarzan as if I had said I were Amanda Knox visiting Rome to murder a few sodomites. Inside, I joined the line behind businessmen in suits carrying backpacks-the postwork closet-case crowd was just arriving, I guess-and examined the portrait behind the receptionist of two gay men jerking each other off in an empty disco, until the receptionist shouted at me in Italian. A Tarzan look-alike wearing nothing but a white towel appeared and gave me a once-over-to see if I was hot enough, maybe?-then opened the front door. Luckily, the sex club, as well as the Vatican-owned apartments, were located in Salustiano, a nice (read: bourgie) area that didn’t seem like it would hold any insane gays.Īfter a few minutes of procrastination, I swallowed my fear and buzzed the Multiclub’s entrance. We ran out of the building after 20 minutes because a guy claiming to be Gloria Estefan’s “background dancer” shoved Diva D, naked, into a locker. The last time I had been in a bathhouse was my senior year of high school, when my friend Diva D and I went to one in Miami. PS: You may have noticed that I did not put wine on the list.Naturally, when I visited Rome recently, the Multiclub was on my sightseeing list, though I was a little nervous. Please leave a comment (and like!) explaining your favorite drinks and why you love, love, love them so much!
Now, I understand that everyone, gay or straight (or anywhere in between), has their own favorite.
They’re elegant, pretty, diverse, and full of alcohol.
Goes great with some guacamole!Įither classic or flavored, martinis are every gay man’s go-to. Served either on the rocks or frozen, most gay men can attest to this staple drink, even if it is more of a dinnertime libation. It is also simple to make on your own!įor the gay seeking something heavier, tarter, and friskier. This drink is so popularized among homosexuals, bartenders should basically have them pre-made by 5pm. The infamous cosmo – legendary among the LGBT crowd and a staple among the gay male scene. (It also contains minimal calories, for the weight-conscious gay.) If you don’t like orange, Stoli makes a variety of other flavored vodkas or you can skip down the list.Īnother easy and cheap alternative, the gin & tonic is a classic choice in the “scene.” I find this to be ordered more among the mature crowd. Oh, and you can barely taste the alcohol (unless it is all Stoli, which is more commonly the case). One of my favorites! Stoli-O and Sprite® is a delicious and cheap order that is tough to screw up. Most commonly made with Canadian whiskey, DeKuyper® Sour Apple Pucker schnapps, and cranberry juice – tastes just like an apple! …Kind of… Whether it’s for the worse or better, I cannot attest. Though you won’t find it made with Crown Royal® in most establishments, this shot will certainly turn your party. Order with caution!ĭoes this even need an explanation? Five liqueurs and a splash of Coke… What a recipe for the gods! Most commonly made with rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, this cocktail is only for the brave and is quite easily screwed up by an untalented bartender. Switching liqueur gears for a second, the infamous Manhattan is a sure-fire way to get your groove going. Now, you’re probably thinking, “that’s not totally gay.” I must agree with you – however, it goes without a doubt that those gays who choose to forego the Redbull will often choose the splash of pink to masks the taste of rubbing alcohol from their mixed beverage. How do we do it? Caffeine in our cocktails! (And every other chemical that gives Redbull its wings.) For example, in Philadelphia the last club closes around 4am, and even that is often not enough to satisfy our needs. It goes without saying that we gays are notorious for partying until the asscrack of dawn. Normally I would refrain from generalization, but I find these trends hold true a significant amount of the time.īelow I have listed the 10 most popular alcoholic drinks ordered by gay men. (By “enjoyable,” I really mean destructive.) Furthermore, each concoction serves quite a unique purpose, and could even mean the difference in what type of gay man you are.
Granted, we are open to trying new things, but there exist a choice amount of staple drinks that we find most enjoyable. If you’ve ever been out in LGBT nightlife, chances are you have noticed there are a few trending drinks floating about in the hands of most gay men.
