By "man" cocktail, I assume we mean "manly" cocktail. Here's one: Ranch Water. Topo Chico mineral water, tequila, half a lime of juice, ice, tall glass Some recipes call for orange liqueur, agave liqueur, or simple syrup. Seems a little Rococo to me.
Gin and tonic. Couple of ice cubes, slice of lemon. Key is Fever Tree tonic.
I drink gin sour
Gin on the rock with an olive. Cheaper than a martini, and dryer too. 
And a bourbon garnish to make it look pretty
How about a slug of whiskey, drank from a dusty bottle, over a fat lip?
Here is one, in rural Mexico, milk producers back in the day when it was done by hand, they used to kickstart the day by drinking a “pajareta” (early bird) raw milk from the first cow and a double shot of tequila, sounds pretty nasty taking into account the milk is hot coming straight from the udder, but my granpa said it’ll give him strenght all day long, I call BS but it does sound pretty manly haha
Almost caipirinha
But I can’t find cachaca locally so replace with Gin and Gold Tequila
Cut Limes and add to DOF
Sugar
Muddle it
Three measures Gin
One measure Tequila
Ice
Drink, repeat, sit down

A 50-50 Beefeater Gin & Tonic, no ice, no lemon (don't even mention lime in a real G&T). I keep my gin & tonic in the fridge so no ice is needed. Fever Tree or Q tonic are preferred, otherwise I use Canada Dry. Not so sure about it being a man's cocktail as my 23 yo granddaughter can down as many as I can if she's visiting and isn't driving home. Gotta love that one.
what is a DOF?
Had not heard of this approach to a caipirinha, previously! Most cachaça I have had seems like the epitome of "fire water" to me, so anything that never touches oak and is never aged seems appropriate/authentic to me. (Cachaça is distilled fermented sugar cane juice as I recall. So technically rum would be more authentic, but most rum made from cane juice is going to be more refined and less harsh than cachaça.)
I would consider a caipirinha a "man" cocktail.

Cane? I'm Able!
DOF = Double Old Fashioned, I assume in this case it is a reference to the glass.
As far as manly drinks go, I think the Old Fashioned is perfect, and on occasion I like a Manhattan, served in a DOF.

Correct!
Mix it how you like - more sour / less sugar and vice versa
Like more of a “harsh” kick? Swap out the Gold for Blanco
Take the edge off? Couple more ice cubes
Drink it in the sun and no more work is getting done afterwards

Spring/Summer - Margarita-tequila of choice, Grand Mariner, lime juice, salted rim or Bombay Sapphire on ice.
Fall Winter - Jim Beam and ginger beer/ale or Tullermore Dew neat

It's awful.
It's awful.
A white Russian minus the vodka and plus Scotch and maraschino liqueur. Also, apparently real cream, even heavy cream, instead of half-and-half. Geez, what could go wrong!
Sounds awful!
Told ya.
Yeah, you did. What compels me to look up something on the internet that I have been told is unspeakable!
Whiskey sour or whiskey water. Depends what I'm doing. If I'm out and about I'll go for whiskey sours. If Im home and just want something to sip on for the night its whiskey water.
