Once you've pulled the lever, it's time to kick back,
mix up some cocktails, and watch the returns roll in. Here, a
drink recipe for each side of the purple divide.
The Blue
Stater
With fresh juices, antioxidant-rich berries, and handcrafted
California gin, it's fussy and a wee bit pretentious - but it means
well.
Combine in a cocktail shaker:
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 tsp. superfine sugar
1/2 tsp. Canton ginger liqueur
8 fresh blueberries
Muddle until everything is well mixed. Add 2 oz. No. 209 gin. Fill
with ice, shake, and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish
with a small rainbow flag.
The Red
Stater
Nothing fancy here - just Kentucky bourbon, vodka from the heart of
Texas, a splash of Florida citrus, and grenadine. Yee-haw.
Shake well with lots of ice:
3/4 oz. Wild Turkey 101-proof bourbon
1/2 oz. Tito's vodka
1 tsp. fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. grenadine
Strain into tall shot glass. Garnish with small American flag.

Report AbuseWhy does the blue stater get a rainbow flag and not an American flag, too? All democrats aren't gay. We're all Americans, though!
