Whether you want to raise a glass in Governor Palin’s honor or she makes you want to drown your sorrows, this is the cocktail for you. It was invented on Friday here in Fairbanks by a couple of resourceful Alaskan women and made its debut yesterday at a meeting of the Cocktail Club, a group of women who get together irregularly for cocktails. Cocktail Club used to be a book group, but it was radically restructured after its members realized no one was reading the books. I guess you could say they’re a bunch of “mavericks” who “got all mavericky” and “shook things up.”
Here’s the recipe for a Sarah Palin, cocktail version. After a few, you’ll lose the ability to form complete sentences and you might finally be able to forget the “Bush Doctrine” completely.
2 parts Power-C (dragonfruit) Vitamin Water
1 part vanilla vodka
1 part Grand Marnier
a dash of Grenadine
Marischino cherry
big wax lips (because Halloween is approaching, they’re readily available)
Shake with ice cubes and strain into martini glasses. Drop a cherry into the bottom. Place wax lips at the base of the glass and serve. Take a drink. Put the wax lips in your mouth. Have someone take a picture of you. Say, “Maverick!” without letting the lips fall out of your mouth as they snap the picture.
If you a post a photo of yourself enjoying a Sarah Palin online and email me the link, I’ll add it here. If you don’t blog, just email me the picture and I’ll post it here. You can be an honorary member of Cocktail Club.
