There are more and better reasons to drink on Fridays than ever before, and the United States Senate is one of my prime sources of inspiration. Today they are contemplating stimulating the economy with a bloated, pork-infested, bill calculated to make us drunk on government largesse.
Surely there is a drink for every occasion and every Senator. Let’s start this week with the majority leader.
The Hoary Reid Stimulus Martini
2 oz. vodka (colorless, odorless, and tasteless)
1 oz. lard
Mix in a used pork barrel while counting to 60. Add bitters.
If you can’t swallow the Hoary Reid Stimulus Martini, you may be among the many conservatives who are clogging up the Senatorial phone lines and trying to put some spine in the opposition. This kind of grassroots activity calls for a cocktail that you can drink without going all wobbly:
Grassleyhopper (a/k/a Jim de Menthe)
2.0 cl Crème de menthe (green)
2.0 cl Crème de cacao (white)
2.0 cl Fresh cream
In a shaker filled with ice cubes, combine the Crème de menthe, creme de cacao, and fresh cream. Shake well. Call all of your friends and tell them to do the same.
