Today marks President Trump\u2019s first state of the union address. No matter which side of the political aisle you find yourself on, you could probably use a drink right about now. We asked LA-based artist and mixologist Steph Russ\u2014author of ENERGY: Cocktails to Get You UP<\/em>\u2014 to craft some creative Trumpian cocktails, to commemorate making it this far.<\/p>\n

Global Warm-Up<\/h3>\n

2 ounces\u00a0rum
\n1 ounce\u00a0lemon juice
\n\u00bd teaspoon\u00a0activated charcoal
\n1 chunk dry ice
\nSugar, to taste<\/p>\n

Pour all ingredients into a goblet over dry ice. Serve as black smoke begins to billow over the cup\u2019s edge. Enjoy with soda, beans, chewing gum, and milk. Warning: Will likely cause excess gas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

FBI Leak<\/h3>\n

2 ounces\u00a0vodka
\n1 ounce Kahl\u00faa
\n1 ounce\u00a0heavy cream<\/p>\n

Fittingly, the FBI Leak<\/em>\u00a0is a White Russian, served up in a plastic bag full of holes. Pour all ingredients into the bag, making sure to cover the punctures. When ready\u2014release! Drink whatever you can\u00a0as fast as you can, before all evidence disappears.<\/p>\n

Bannon\u2019s Brew<\/h3>\n

3 ounces\u00a0moonshine
\n2 ounces\u00a0heavy cream
\n1 egg white
\nDash of bitters<\/p>\n

Shake ingredients with ice until frothy, and serve in an Old-Fashioned glass. If the cream causes other ingredients to separate or curdle, that\u2019s to be expected. This all-white cocktail will taste like milky garbage, and we do not recommend actually drinking it.<\/p>\n

Alternative Facts<\/h3>\n

2 ounces\u00a0light rum
\n1 ounce\u00a0dark rum
\n2 ounces\u00a0milk
\n2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
\nDash of bitters
\nDash of salt
\nGarnish with maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks, and lime<\/p>\n

A Trump-inspired cocktail list wouldn\u2019t be complete without a drink designed for deception. Welcome to the alt-pi\u00f1a colada. While the Alternative Facts <\/em>resembles the classic, refreshing tropical treat, it\u2019s actually quite bitter, salty, and tangy in flavor. Shake all ingredients over ice and serve in a tiki-inspired tumbler, conservatively topped with fruit. Recommended to serve any time you\u2019re forced to discuss a task you\u2019ve made no progress on and need to divert attention.<\/p>\n

Cheeto Jesus<\/h3>\n

3 ounces Tang
\n1 ounce\u00a0Sprite
\nCheeto dust for rim of glass
\nGarnish with Cheetos and a lemon peel<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a nonalcoholic cocktail designed for the child in everyone\u2014particularly our elected officials\u2014and is perfect for insolent youngsters and immature adults. Rim a martini glass with lemon juice, then crushed Cheetos. Blend the Tang with ice, like a smoothie, and pour into the glass. Top with Sprite for fizz. Garnish with plenty of Cheetos and the lemon peel. Excess is encouraged.<\/p>\n

Barron\u2019s Playplace<\/h3>\n

1 \u00bd ounces\u00a0Stolichnaya Gold vodka
\n1 \u00bd ounces\u00a0Patron Gold tequila
\n1 ounce\u00a0Goldschl\u00e4ger
\n24 carat gold flake<\/p>\n

This over-the-top, all-gold cocktail draws its inspiration from the decor at Trump\u2019s opulent penthouse in Manhattan. We can\u2019t promise this drink actually tastes good, but as they say, appearances are everything. Mix all ingredients and serve in a chilled champagne flute\u00a0or the most ornate glass you have on hand.<\/p>\n
