Cocktail Recipe: Commander-in-Chief

The Commander-in-Chief Cocktail is a bold and assertive drink, much like its namesake. The combination of rye whiskey and Amaretto offers a strong, rich flavor profile, while the orange juice adds a touch of brightness. The gold sugar rim is a nod to Trump’s iconic style, making this cocktail as memorable as the man himself.
