Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or in Luxembourg, you’ve probably seen your share of coverage on the upcoming US presidential election. Since themed drinks seem to be a hot ticket on JoeBartender.com I thought I’d whip up two drinks in honor of each candidate and pit them head to head in the ultimate title match.
According to some highly scientific calculations, the winner of this challenge will, in fact, end up winning the US election; so vote with your heart (and your taste-buds).
First up is a drink in honor of Mr. Barack Obama:
The Obama Slamma
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Blue Curacao
- 4 oz Florida Orange Juice
- 3 oz Chilled (cheap) Champagne
- 1 Maraschino Cherry
How to Make it:
You will want it ending up in a blue tinge as any true democratic drink should be, so mix the curacao and orange juice accordingly. Since it’s necessary that Obama win the state of Florida, ONLY Florida squeezed orange juice is acceptable. Barack has 1 car, and 1 house, so fill the Collins glass up with a dash of the cheapest champagne you can find. Garish with one bright red maraschino cherry to show some bipartisan support.
The McCain Maverick
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Prune Juice
- 1 oz Light Rum
- Crushed Ice from your favorite melting glacier (Alaskan if possible)
- 5 Drops Red Food Coloring
- 1 Maraschino Cherry
- 1/4 tsp Superfine Sugar
- Red Lipstick
How to Make it:
Since this drink is designed for those over the age of 72, prune juice is an essential (and challenging) ingredient. Mix the prune juice, sugar, light rum, and food coloring in a glass. The mixture should turn from a brown to Republican red color. Travel to Alaska and crush some ice from a glacier of your choice. Mix everything together in a plastic cup (since it is essentially made out of oil) and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Put some lipstick on the rim to signify that Sarah Palin approves. Best enjoyed while watching the movie Top Gun or any other film including a brazen Maverick.

October 8th, 2008 at 10:00 pm

I have never met a bartender who is NOT politically involved. And Daniel you think your better than me?

Can’t see McCain making up the ground.
After 2 months & +500,000 votes we show Obama a clear +20% ahead.
Check it out yourself and votes today.

With the Obama drink, you should serve one drop in tiny dixie cups to share with others…y’know, spread the wealth around
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Very funny and genius.
November 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Super funny reading this now, after the Obama grand slam! You can bet this drink would have been handy at Grant Park the other night.
I think I’ll not be serving the Maverick at any upcoming parties…

November 19th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
what about the Nader Raider?
1 oz of every well alcohol (for fairness sake)
1 oz of every mixer (again for fairness sake)
serve in what ever glass is least used in the bar.
Also, it must be offered to a customer anytime they order anything from you. The people need to have a choice, and the Nader Raider enables them to make a better decision because they’ve been informed of more than just the usual options of beer, wine, or alcohol

modern furniture has dispelled all the age-old norms and introduced new materials, designs and shapes. Earlier, wood was the main material for any style of furniture. Today, it has been replaced by synthetic fibers, tubular metal alloys. These materials are not only easier to maintain, but can be molded into many different shapes and are extremely lightweight as wood.
