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.
This is great!!!! You should send this in to MSNBC. Do it right now!! For some reason I didn’t get this blog update on my email, only saw it here on Facebook….
brilliant!
thanks for giving me a fantastic assignment- now, off to find wax lips!
cheers-
Dang, and with me fresh out of Grenadine. And Vanilla Vodka. And Power-C. Guess I’ll have throw some cherries into a warmed snifter of Grand Marnier and make do.
Sounds like a fun group…perhaps we will start a sister club here in Maine.
Let’s hope for sanity in the elections.

Just received this blog-link from Ishmael @ KoKon one day after I posted my own little lipstick tidbit in my new blog. Wish I had seen yours first, I’d have surely linked you to it! Great story and LOVE the pics! http://dustybee.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/alaskas-other-lipstick-ambassador/. Your blog is very nice!
I’ll be in NYC on election night and I’m bringing this recipe to a bar for celebration!!!!(you guys’ll get full credit of course!) Where do I get those lips??!!!!!!!!
Love it. Posted your link on my Facebook page. I assume it could be ordered by other names, such as “Rouge Rogue” or “Lipstick On A Pig.”
