colorful cocktails

The relationship between men and fruity drinks has always interested me.  I have been told by many that it is "embarrassing" or "emasculating" to order colorful cocktails, despite the fact that they tend to be delicious.  My boyfriend has always subscribed to this mindset, so I was shocked last night when he confidently declared to our waitress that he would like to try the Prickly Pear Martini.

Takeaway: Beer gets boring.  If he can justify his choice of beverage, then support it...even if the drink is neon pink and rimmed with sugar.
