OK all you mixologists out there--I've been asked to serve an "Obama cocktail" at the party I'm going to Tuesday night. I've got three ways to go--which one sounds good to you?
1. To represent Hawaiian upbringing, the first ingredient is Kahlua. Godiva white chocolate liqueur represents his mixed heritage. Add Absolut Mandarin as a nod to his time in Indonesia, and a dash of whiskey because presidents always seem to drink whiskey.
2. To celebrate the "blue" party, something made with blue Curacao.
3. Or, an alcoholic smoothie drink that's an alphabetical salute: A small scoop of Orange Sherbert blended with a Banana, Apple, Milk, and Amaretto.
The NYT suggests these cocktails. I choose the Obama-Rama. The McCain cocktail has gin, and I'm not a gin drinker.
Obama-Rama Adapted from the Pink Door
2 ounces vodka
2 ounces freshly pressed grape juice or bottled white grape juice
1/2 ounce Cointreau
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Dash of blue Curaçao
Sugar, for frosting glass.
1. To frost glass, spread sugar in a saucer and wet rim of glass with a lemon slice. Dip rim into sugar, rotating so sugar adheres evenly. (This is best done a few hours in advance, to allow sugar time to crystallize.)
2. Combine ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice, shake, and strain into prepared glass.
Yield: 1 serving. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/fa...gewanted=print
McCain Cocktail Adapted from the World Bar
1 1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce homemade grenadine (see note)
1/2 ounce Navan liqueur
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Champagne, for topping.
1. Combine all ingredients but Champagne with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a highball glass filled with ice.
2. Top with Champagne.
Yield: 1 serving.
Note: For grenadine, combine equal parts pomegranate juice and simple syrup.
Well, I don't know about Obama, but considering McCain's tightrope as he tries to court the Hispanic vote without losing the right-wing illegal-immigrant bashers, his drink of choice would HAVE to be the Mexican Standoff -
One part tequila
One part prune juice
One part Kaopectate
You have to get the proportions JUST RIGHT or it's a disaster.

They should just change the drink "Sex on the Beach" to "Obama on the Beach" since we're all going to be fuc#$d!!
Pour one bottle of Vodka into a large dishpan or bucket. Add enough sweetened Kool-aid to taste. Cherry always worked great. In my frat days, we called this jungle juice or zombie punch. Not sure what they call it now.
Now carefully count the number of drinkers in the room. Carefully divide the resultant volume equally around the room. Make sure that every drinker gets EXACTLY the same volume as every other drinker.
