The Long Island Iced Tea is most certainly a girlie drink, though relevant only to a specific type of girl.
This girl does not have an imagination powerful enough to elevate the first night of Spring Break to a level matching her expectations. Her morals are a pain in the ass at house parties. She has a butterfly tattoo on the small of her back. She is majoring in Communications. She has until tomorrow to write a trite personal essay about her dead grandma.
As for me, being new to the U.S. was my excuse. Haven't had a Long Island
iced tea since and won't have on in the future either. That stuff kills not only
germs.
I would and have ordered them without thinking anything negative about myself.
Given the amount of alcohol in the drink, I can't imagine why someone could think it a girlie drink. It usually has enough booze to get a life sized stone statue of an elephant drunk.

Apparently I am not the first to ask this question. My favorite response I've seen so far: "If mixing at least 5 kinds of alcohol with a splash of lemonade is a girly drink, then GIRL POWER!"
I also found a site purporting to identify the "Top 10 Manliest Girly Alcoholic Drinks":

White Russians? Margaritas? I've never cared about such things but I'm starting to realize that all my favorite drinks are girlie drinks. (Do I have to be ashamed about mojitos too? Lemon drops? Sangria?) I guess I'm a girlie-man.
