Fru Fru drinks:  When appropriate, what to order? Fru Fru drinks:  When appropriate, what to order?

I don't spend much time in bars but as a frequent B&M player I naturally see people drinking all of the time. Every now and then some 300 lb. man in a wife beater and stubble w/ tats will order a pina colada. A PINA COLADA at a poker game and it's not being drunk by a woman! So it got me thinking: How many of you drink what are called Fru Fru drinks and what do you order?

Actually I didn't think the drinks from that link are necessarily Fru Fru drinks. I pictured them more as:










I've never had one. I think the only acceptable place to order one is at a beach resort or maybe a chinese restaurant. And I think they a big at that sidewalk bar next to Harrahs, LV. But maybe I'm missing something and they are great! Tell me about it.

A nice fresh mojito in the summer out on a patio bar is hard to beat.

Is a mojito really considered a Fru Fru drink just bec they've got mashed up stuff in them? I happen to love mojitos, btw, and I never got one w/ an umbrella in it.

Frozen margaritas at those chain restaurants where servers are required to wear pieces of flair.

I enjoy an occasional Washington Apple shot, but I make sure to speak to the bartender or waitress first. So when she hears me loudly order a Donkey's Elbow, or Hooker's Taint, that's indeed what I want.

Hmm who cares what other people think? If you feel like drinking one just order it.

I am NOT going to order a pina colada while playing poker and have everybody no longer respect my raises!

Can someone confirm that it should be "frou-frou"?

They probably shouldn't be, but they are. I tend to take advantage of the casino to order drinks that are normally more expensive than beer. It's usually pretty easy to convince a table of guys to order a mimosa at a table.

Uhhh, no. Idk what exactly was in the one I ordered, but it was good. And it had more in it than vodka, sugar and a lemon wedge

I think it had lemon-infused vodka, simple syrup and a few other things. too lazy to google it.

Yeah, I had a sense you were talking about something different. If you come to Wisconsin and order a lemon drop you're getting a vodka shot and a lemon wedge and the bartender will try to pour sugar on your hand.

Lol remind me not to go 2 wisconsin.

To be fair, if you mixed the three together using top shelf vodka, you'd get an okay lemon drop.

But wtf vodka, lemon wedge, and sugar? Never heard that before.

now i feel like googling it to get some good recipes.

It actually makes for a pretty good shot

You'd say: Gimme six lemon drops

The bartender would give you six shots of vodka, six sugar packets, and six lemon wedges and charge you $12

Lick the sugar off your hand, take the shot, follow with lemon. Tasty

I thought they were Foo-Foo drinks. Anyway, you have to be careful with those girl drinks. Here is a cautionary tale:

For me:

- at the poker table, always get looser action when I'm wearing a wifebeater and downing strawberry daquiris

- on vacation! If I can drink 24/7 in Vegas, you better believe I will walk up and down the strip with a giant margarita at 8am if I feel like it!

- at the beach. The hell if I'm going to abide by Corona commercials, give me a few Sex on the Beaches all day long

Lol this, I often err towards girly drinks, coz yknow, they taste better imo. If people think less of you for it they likely have a few problems of their own.
