Thanks to the results of the presidential election, it seemed everyone I saw Tuesday night was happy and drunk. (Perhaps it also had something to do with drowning out the memory of the sad fates of Props H and 8.) And not surprisingly, many were reeling from cocktails they’d invented or renamed just for election night. My favorites? The Baracktail, a mixture of champagne and a fruity liquer, which was later rechristined The Landslide; and the Obama Bomb, a combo of Bacardi O and Red Bull.
What intoxicated you on November 4 (other than hope and triumph)? Let us know in the comments. Drink names are great, recipes are even better. And if you know of a bar who’s keeping one on the menu, or running election-themed drink specials, we’re interested in that too.
