Let’s face it, the chaos of this election season has had us reaching for tequila—possibly even at breakfast more than once! But fear not, dear friends; the tumultuous campaign is finally behind us, and it’s time to celebrate with some spirited cocktails. Introducing the Sassy Lady and Crafty Gent cocktails, inspired by some rather unfortunate remarks made during the election.
The Sassy Lady
First up, the Sassy Lady—a tequila delight that’s sure to lift your spirits! Most versions of this cocktail follow this tasty formula:
- Three parts silver tequila (crafted by the talented folks down in Mexico).
- Two parts cherry juice and one part lime juice.
- Pour over ice and finish with a splash of sparkling wine or limeade. Don’t forget to garnish with a lime wedge!
And for a fun twist, one inventive mixologist added her own flair to the recipe. Prefer vodka instead? No problem! Check out this brilliant take on the Sassy Lady from our friends over at Mother Jones. If bourbon is more your style, there’s a Sassy Lady recipe just for you!
The Crafty Gent
Now, let’s not overlook the Crafty Gent. We’re particularly fond of the citrusy flavor in one version, while another incorporates brandy for a unique twist. One intriguing recipe resembles a sophisticated White Russian. The Mother Jones version is also worth a sip, featuring:
- 1 dash of chili bitters.
- 2 dashes of chocolate bitters.
- 1/4 ounce of creme de cacao (Tempus Fugit brand).
- 3/4 ounce of Cocchi di Torino vermouth.
- 2 ounces of Ilegal Reposado.
Stir the ingredients over ice, pour into a cocktail glass, and garnish with a chili de arbol perched on the rim, topped off with a sprinkle of fresh cinnamon. If you’re not in the mood for something strong, maybe your friendly barista can whip you up a delightful non-alcoholic version.
