Cocktail Recipe: Eerie Elephant Elixir
The Eerie Elephant Elixir is a cocktail that channels the spooky spirit of Halloween while celebrating the enduring strength of the Republican Party. The bold flavors of bourbon are perfectly complemented by the tartness of blackcurrant and the citrusy zing of blood orange soda. With its dark and moody appearance, this cocktail is perfect for sipping as you rally against the ‘ghostly’ politics of liberalism and stand firm in your conservative beliefs. It’s a drink as strong and steadfast as the Republican elephant itself!
