Not only do I not hear people order Manhattan's anymore but when I order one the bartender never knows how to make.  So, just to be a dick, I'll ask him to make me a Sidecar.

Anyone ever hear of Tom and Jerry's?   It's a winter drink that my parents always had during winter while I was growing up in rural Minnesota.  No one I've spoken to out east has ever heard of it, but I read in Esquire that it used to be big in the 1920's etc., but is no longer.

Sorry to double post, but I drink gimlets from time to time, too. It's a summer drink. <>You never see anyone ordering Tequila Sunrises anymore. Thankfully everyone is too embarrased to order a Fuzzy Navel these days. When I was bartending, any dude who ordered a frozen drink was going to be instantly carded. Once there were 4 young lads bellied up to my bar. Three of them ordered beers, like gentlemen. The fourth ordered a frozen margarita, and I kicked all 4 of them out.

Andrew drinks 7 & 7 when he doesn't drink beer. Kamakazi is still a tasty shooter when you're sick of SoCo and lime. Once during highschool someone found a bottle of brass monkey at a bodega somewhere and we drank that as a goof.  I think something that people don't order a lot of these days are screwdrivers.  That is all my grandpa drinks and it reminds me of old people if i think of it.

I love 7&7s. I order them all the time when I go out to dinner and don't want beer. Want a tasty drink to get hammered on? Here's the math: Pint Glass + Half Seagram's 7 + Half 7 Up (or Sprite) = Buzz

Here's a couple of the late '80's drinks:  slippery nipples,  sex on the beach,  matrix (sp), fuzzy navels, and melon balls.
