As we reach the end of this tumultuous election cycle, it’s time to unwind and celebrate with some spirited cocktails. Introducing the Empowered Woman and Bold Gent drinks, inspired by the memorable, albeit frustrating, comments that made headlines. These cocktails are not just a way to toast to the new president, but also a fun way to express your feelings about the election.
The Empowered Woman Cocktail
Let’s start with the Empowered Woman cocktail, which prominently features tequila. The classic recipe goes as follows: combine three parts silver tequila (crafted by the “bold gents” of Mexico) with two parts cherry juice and one part lime juice. Serve this mix over ice, topped with sparkling wine or bubbly limeade, and don’t forget to garnish with a zesty lime wedge.
If tequila isn’t your preferred spirit, consider a vodka variation of the Empowered Woman. We love a recipe shared by the popular blog Mother Jones, which presents a delightful twist. And for those who appreciate bourbon, there’s a unique take on the Empowered Woman that you won’t want to miss.
The Bold Gent Cocktail
Now, let’s shift our focus to the Bold Gent. We’re thrilled about the citrusy notes in this particular recipe, which perfectly complements the spirit. Another version includes brandy, and yet another resembles a sophisticated White Russian. The recipe from Mother Jones is especially appealing, featuring a blend of chili and chocolate bitters, alongside Ilegal Reposado, which should be stirred over ice and served with a garnish of a small chili de arbol and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
If cocktails aren’t your cup of tea, perhaps you could ask your local barista for a creative non-alcoholic drink option.
