Let’s be real, this election season has probably driven you to consider downing tequila before breakfast at least once, right? But the time has finally come to bid farewell to this exhausting election cycle. To help you toast to a new chapter, we’ve got some fun cocktail recipes to enjoy (or gulp down) while you watch the results unfold.
Meet the Fierce Lady and the Bold Hombre cocktails! Throughout the election, various insensitive comments made waves, but two phrases stood out so much that they inspired a flurry of cocktail creations. And the best part? There are countless variations to explore.
The Fierce Lady
First up, the Fierce Lady, showcasing tequila as its star ingredient. A classic recipe typically includes:
- Three parts silver tequila (crafted by Mexico’s “bold hombres”).
- Two parts cherry juice and one part lime juice.
- Pour over ice and crown with sparkling wine or limeade. Don’t forget a lime wedge to garnish!
And if you’re feeling adventurous, one creative mixologist swapped tequila for vodka to concoct her own version. For those bourbon-loving Fierce Ladies out there, there’s a delightful bourbon variation waiting for you!
The Bold Hombre
Now, let’s turn our attention to the Bold Hombre. We’re particularly fond of this citrusy rendition. There’s even a variation that includes brandy, and one that resembles a chic White Russian. Among the many recipes online, this one from a popular source stands out:
- 1 dash chili bitters
- 2 dashes chocolate bitters
- 1/4 ounce crème de cacao (Tempus Fugit brand)
- 3/4 ounce Cocchi di Torino vermouth
- 2 ounces Ilegal Reposado
Mix well over ice, then strain into a cocktail glass. For an extra touch, garnish with a small chili de arbol on the rim and a sprinkle of fresh cinnamon.
