The Aug. 2007 issue of "Esquire" has former NC Sen. John Edwards (D) on its cover, but the very last page of the trendy men's magazine has a cocktail named for the Republican Michael Dukakis himself. I am, of course, refering to former Massachuesetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R).
Here is how you can you and your friends a "Mint Romney:" (some irony here as Romney is of the Mormon faith, and like faithful Moslems, they are not known for alcohol consumption)
Mint Romney
1. Four springs mint
2. Two-ounce bourbon
3. one tsp. of sugar
4. Add mint, bourbon, sugar in a coktail shaker
5. Shake vigorously
6. Discard, replace with tap water
7. Invite Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass).........ok, I added this one!
The recipe was written by Bob Scheffler. His other cocktail suggestions include a "Bombay Stinger," a "Bay Area Bullet" and "Ocean's Thirtini."
UPDATE_ I just watched this great footage (even better than "Sicko") from a "Washington Post" blog of Romney getting confronted by Michelle Griffin, a watiress at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, NH, where the Republican candidate was trying to woo voters. The same diner has been visited by Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Griffin, who has one daughter with Crohn's disease and another daughter with diabetes, accused Romney of hypocricy as she criticized the lack of decent health care coverage that she recieves. Romney was clearly uncomfortable with the waitress who interupted his prepared stump speech. It was almost enough to make me sympathize for Romney, even though I'm a Democrat! But Griffin is not a partisan, as it turns out, she also confronted Biden over health care. Good for her!
