What Would Obama Drink?

November 3, 2008 8:24 PM

I am having a party to watch the election returns. What should I serve?

I am looking to serve dishes (mostly small plates and desserts) and drinks that have some relation to the campaign. There will definitely be sweet potato pie, whiskey shots (a la Hillary in Indiana), and six packs. Besides mooseburgers, what else should I have for my guests?

All I know is that the sort of dish you want to serve is one best served cold.

Put a bottle of Southern Comfort in the refrigerator. Then, if things don't come out the way your friends want, you can serve them "cold comfort".

We're making red and blue jello shots, but then again we are in college.

Arugula is a must, maybe make an arugula appetizer?

Also, as in the link above, these Hershey's recipe cookies that Cindy McCain claimed were her own recipe.

I also like the idea of serving some kind of pork.

Hawaiian pizza, for Obama?
