Drunk Trump • November 2020
5 drinks recapping the 4 year presidency
Here we are in November of 2020, just after the USA election. We don’t know about you, but we feel its a pretty swell time to celebrate over a drink. The goal here is to poke some fun and see these drinks as satire, a culinary-commentary of the current US President Donald Trump. We took some of the news stories involving him and turned them into tasty drinks. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

MAGA-Rita
0.5oz side of Mezcal, 2oz Reposado, 0.75oz Cointreau, 0.75oz lime juice, 1oz soda, 2 saline drops
This cocktail is served with the promise of a shot of mezcal coming, but when it arrives it’s still on the other side of a fence. Why do we need a fence? Beats us, hop that fence and tango with us. You can drink it as is and enjoy the mezcal on the side, or take a nice sip and drop the shot into the drink, its all up to you, no rules.
If Trump described it:
The taste balances a lot of things, it’s a very good balance, the best balanced flavor ever. No one can balance so much flavor in one drink
Im-Peach-Mint
2oz Appleton Rum, 0.75oz lime juice, 0.5oz simple syrup, 5oz soda, 5 muddled mint leaves, peach cotton candy comb over, 1 single-term straw
The aromatic-contradiction, looking down from the top it’s a pile of sweet peach. When you take a sip you’ll instantly feel the carbonic acids tip-toe across your tongue carrying small pieces of mint. The flavor is nothing of peach, though that’s what you read, see, smell, even expect. You’re welcome. Ready to order four more?
If Trump described it:
You’ll never find a cocktail with better hair.
Dark and Stormy Daniels
1oz Jack Daniel’s, 1oz rum, 0.75oz blonde syrup, 0.5oz lime juice, 2oz ginger beer
We personally consider the Dark and Stormy as original Moscow Mule, here is our own riff. Inspired by the 2018 Stormy Daniels porn star and Trump (hell, and his lawyer too) sex scandal.
If Trump described it:
The $130,000 non-disclosure agreement prevents me from an official comment at this time.
The White House Russian
1.5oz vodka, 1.5oz coffee rum, 3oz golden foam, served with a straw
Remember the first decorating of the White House for Christmas, all the bloodred trees? That was wild. There’s also some rumors about Russians having a video, or something about auto-bots? Anyways, the hand shaken cream adds a nice light -hearted layer on top
If Trump described it:
Once you taste this drink you’ll always call White Russians by the new name, the better name, we call them White Houses. We all do. Everyone is now, it’s just what we do now. People can’t help but Putin in orders for more. It’s Facebook official. This is the best drink on the menu.
Absinth-Tea Ballot
2oz jasmine green tea infused with The Botanist Gin, 1oz Chinese pear puree, 0.25oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz lime, 1oz soda, absinthe mist
This is our favorite cocktail on the menu this month. The jasmine really has a chance to shine and take center stage. The pear puree takes it from martini territory into a fuller expression of satiation.
If Trump described it:
The best thing to come out of China. We actually grow the pears here in the USA. They grow better here, so much more flavor. People love them, they say “Wow, what else can we grow in the USA?” because they're so good. And I don’t really know, can we grow more things? I think the economy can grow here. Yeah, let’s grow more food though, I think. Everyone eats food, so that’s great, very good. We can even grow our own gin I think.
