TGIT Great Libations: Presidential Edition

Instead of bringing you another dinner recipe this week, I thought we could shake it up and have a drink recipe instead - presidential style.

In honor of our 3 day old president, I went out into the interwebs and came back with this little gem of a drink called Barack Rocks.
Here’s the blue in the red, white and blue: Barack Obama’s appeal to the youth of America is interpreted in the cocktail, Barack Rocks (and it really looks delicious). Enjoy!

Ingredients For One Cocktail

• 2 ounces citrus vodka(we used SKYY Infusions Citrus Vodka, a zingy combination of grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange and tangerine flavors)
• 1 ounce blue curaçao
• Juice from 1/2 lime
• 3 ounces Sprite or 7-Up
• Pear slice for garnish

Preparation

• Combine all ingredients in a shaker.
• Shake and pour into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice.
• Garnish with a slice of pear.

And if you aren't a fan of blue colored drinks, there is one for McCain fans as well, it's called McCain Straight Up (that maverick). You can check it out on this page from The Nibble website.
