The History Behind Joe Gorga and Frank Catania's Bromance

If you've ever wondered what the men of The Real Housewives of New Jersey do while the ladies are away, now we have our answer. Not only do we know what the gentlemen do, mind you; we know what they drink. And when it comes to Frank Catania's beverage of choice, let's just say: It's not what we expected. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

On the January 29 episode of RHONJ, the ladies were in the Hamptons when Melissa Gorga's hubby, Joe Gorga, Margaret Josephs' husband ,Joe Benigno, and Dolores Catania's ex-husband, Frank Catania, gathered for a drink at a New Jersey bar.

Joe Gorga arrived first, ordering up a vodka on the rocks. Joe Benigno came later, asking for a Bombay Sapphire with olives. And then, the burly Frank came in... and promptly asked for an apple martini. 

That's right: The bodybuilder likes his cocktails tart and candy-colored. He even told the waitress, "Don't go light on the Pucker," which means he likes the martini extra apple-y. And yes, his cocktail came out with a cherry in the glass. 

Despite some light heckling from his pals, who had to snap a photo of him with the drink, Frank was unfazed. We hope he enjoyed his fruit-flavored cocktail as much as we enjoyed watching him drink it!
