Presidente

Photo lost when the old site was hacked. (Presidente, up) Newer posts will have photos.

If you are living in NYC then you have seen the Jet Blue ads for “Election Protection” all over the subways.  We can offer another form of Election Protection and it doesn’t matter who you like or how much you hate the system all together.  The cocktail below is called Presidente — it’s got a little bit of blue (Blue Curacao) for the dems, some red (Grenadine) for the GOP-ers and ends up a funky shade of purple for those of you who think both parties suck.

 

Presidente

1.5 oz rum

.5 oz dry vermouth

.5 oz blue curacao

dash grenadine

 

Combine the rum, vermouth, curacao, and grenadine.  Garnish with a lemon twist and serve up, in a chilled glass.

Whether you are celebrating or drowning in sorrow, the Presidente can help!

P.s. We are sorry that our form of election protection does not include a tropical destination.

    I should have had this recipe the night of the election! It looks wild but good. Are you sure you didn’t have a hangover the next day?
