As we approach the end of this tumultuous election season, it’s time to celebrate with some spirited cocktails. Introducing the Bold Brew and the Fiery Spirit, two drink recipes that embody the energy of this election night. Let’s face it, whether you felt like downing shots of tequila at 8 a.m. or simply wanted to unwind, these cocktails will help you toast to the conclusion of a challenging campaign.
The Bold Brew
The Bold Brew, which prominently features tequila, is a crowd favorite. Most recipes follow this tried-and-true formula:
- Three parts silver tequila (crafted by the “fiery spirits” of Mexico)
- Two parts cherry juice, plus one part lime juice
- Pour over ice and top off with sparkling wine or limeade for a fizzy twist.
- Garnish with a lime wedge.
However, some adventurous souls have taken the Bold Brew to new heights with their unique twists. If tequila isn’t your drink of choice, you might enjoy a vodka-based version instead. This recipe from our friends at Mother Jones offers a delightful alternative. And for those who lean towards bourbon, there’s a recipe that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds too!
The Fiery Spirit
Now, let’s not overlook the Fiery Spirit. This cocktail features vibrant citrus notes and even variations that include brandy. One intriguing take resembles a fancy White Russian. Among the many recipes circulating online, the one from Mother Jones stands out with its tantalizing ingredients:
- 1 dash chili bitters
- 2 dashes chocolate bitters
- 1/4 ounce crème de cacao (Tempus Fugit brand)
- 3/4 ounce Cocchi di Torino vermouth
- 2 ounces Ilegal Reposado
Mix well over ice, then strain into a cocktail glass. For a creative touch, garnish with a small chili de arbol balanced on the rim and a sprinkle of fresh cinnamon.
If you’re not in the mood for alcohol, consider visiting your local café for a festive drink instead.
