Last October I reported about some signature politico cocktails that were debuting in various bars across the country, welp, it just got a hell of a lot more interesting (and sloppy drunk).
Why don't you try out a....
Obama Mama
1 1/2 oz. pineapple-infused vodka
1/2 oz. blue curaçao
Club soda
Serve over ice in a double rocks glass. Top with club soda. Garnish with pineapple wedge, rind on.
A Drink to Nowhere (Gravina Island Iced Tea)
2 oz. Absolut 100 vodka
2 oz. Bombay Sapphire gin
2 oz. Grand Marnier Cuvée du Cent Cinquantenaire liquor
2 oz. Bacardi 151 rum
2 oz. Patrón tequila
Splash raw lemon juice
Splash simple syrup
Add all ingredients in a pint glass, add ice, and top with a splash of coke (if there is room).
Cosmo-Politician (perhaps for independents)
2 parts Svedka Clementine vodka
1/2 part orange juice
1 tsp sour mix (or marmalade)
Combine ingredients in a shaker filled with ice and shake for five seconds. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with an orange slice.
Cuppa Joe Biden
1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. Baileys
1 oz. Irish whiskey
6 oz. hot coffee
Whipped cream
Combine first four ingredients. Pour into a brown-sugar-rimmed glass and top with whipped cream.
Baked Alaska
1 1/2 oz. Don Julio Reposado tequila
3/4 oz. Godiva Caramel liqueur
2 scoops vanilla ice cream

Mix first three ingredients in a blender or milk-shake machine. Pour into a tall glass. Float rum on top and light on fire.
