Cocktails for Impeachment
A menu for the latest chapter of the Trump era
Welcome. With the House set to vote on two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, we’re finally about to reach intermission of The Impeachment Show. We’ve been streaming constitutional chaos since the inaugural episode. Remember? How can it not end minutes after inauguration, we said, because emoluments? (This show has taught us many new words.) It’s almost over — is everyone else crying? Just me?
There will be a Capitol mess to clean up at the end, I predict a sage bonfire on the mall will open the next season. It will be the largest crowd ever to witness a ritual cleansing, period.
Here is a cocktail menu to help us through the next stage of this impeachment saga (and okay the holidays too, but no one is watching that show this year). Bottoms up!
Mitch Julep
A twist on the classic, this cocktail calls for Chinese bourbon and essence of terrapin. Serve with a sycophant’s smirk.
The Lindsey Flip (aka The Carolina Windsock)
A mocktail. Melt a creamsicle, add a jigger of Kool-Aid and a healthy splash of faux outrage.
