Election Day Drinks - Red, White & Blue!

It's election day!  What a perfect day to have a few people over and celebrate our right to vote!  Make your drinks fit the occasion!  Here are a few Red, White and Blue ideas for you!

1. All-American Shooter 

To achive the "layered" effect of this patriotic pleaser, place a cherry on the inside edge of the shot glass and slowly pour the curacao and then the vodka over said cherry. This will keep the liquors separate and makes for a nice garnish. 

1. 1/2 Part Grenadine
2. 1 Part Blue Curacao
3. 1 Part Vodka

Layer in a shot glass and enjoy! 

 

2. The Independence Day Margarita

Nothing say "America" like a refreshing frozen margarita. The favorite after-work cocktail of office dwellers everywhere gets a Fourth of July makeover with strawberries, pineapple and blue curacao. This one may take a little extra time but the results are well worth it. For extra flair, use colored sugar to coat the rim instead of plain ol' salt. Click here for the recipe. 

3. The Patriotic Pour - This adventurous drink off sets all of its super sweet ingredients with the spicy kick of muddle jalapeno. Use an upside down spoon to layer the blue over the red and garnish with star fruit for the white. 

1 oz watermelon pucker/schnapps

1 splash of cranberry juice cocktail 

2 slices of jalapeno

1 slice each of lemon and lime

1 1/2 oz silver tequila

splash of blue curacao

1/2 oz simple syrup

Mix the first two ingredients and pour into an ice filled glass. Muddle the jalapenos, lemon and lime in a shaker, add tequila, curacao and simple syrup and shake. Layer over the red and garnish.
