Voting + Celebrating = Feeling Good

If helping to change the fate of our nation isn't incentive enough to vote, perhaps a few tasty election-inspired libations will provide some encouragement. The folks at Grist have put together a fun list of drinks such as the Maverick Martini, the Palin Polar Punch, the Obama Mama, and the Organic Cup o' Joe. Being a rum gal myself, I'm partial to the Obama Mama and have listed the ingredients below. Head over to Grist for the complete list. Happy Election Day!
Obama Mama
1/2 ounce organic dark rum
1/2 ounce coconut rum or coconut liqueur
1/4 ounce coffee liqueur
2 ounces organic pineapple juice

Political cocktails definitely seem to be the theme this week. We didn't put together any election drink recipes, but we did post ways to make drink mixes more unique. Check it out! http://www.drinkunique.com/read/classic-drinks-with-a-unique-twist

Here is what has helped me tonight, some good old Belgian beers.
Ichtegems Gand Cru (a red, not as good as my favorite, Rodenbach)
Oud Zottegems Bier
Grotten Unique Belgian Ale (warning this is a more carbonated one, I did get some in my mouth though) not as flavorful as most Belgian browns.
All in all, not a bad night even so.

Great Recipe...there will be a net increase of alcohol consumption over the next couple of years.
