What is your celebratory drink of choice?

[BanzaiBonnie]

It's a bit after 10am here on the West Coast and I just poured a shot of Sambuca. It's very festive if you like anise (black licorice) flavor.

I won't drink much. Just enough to take the edge off my nerves.

[Ozma]

1. Hmm, fly to the East coast.... the bars are open here after noon.

[magellan]

2. Samuel Adams OBAMAFEST!

So renamed by me. :)

like exactly what the occasion calls for :)

[cjsmom44]

11. The "Obamarama." It's being served at my daughter's election night party tonite along with

Baked Alaska!

OBAMARAMA COCKTAIL

2 oz. Crater Lake Vodka (hand-crafted American vodka from Oregon) WHY? Because he loves America
2 oz. freshly pressed grape juice WHY? Because he’s fresh!

1/2 oz. Cointreau WHY? Because he has a sweet side

1/2 oz. freshly pressed lemon juice WHY? Because he HAS to win Florida

Just a whisper of curacao to make the drink the color of green
WHY? because he is serious about the environment

Drink is served up in a sugared martini glass garnished with a frozen sugar-grape on an American flag hand-decorated by the owner with glitter bling

[Virginia Dare]

26. Add a sliver of pineapple to the glasses as well..

because he was born in Hawaii!! Sounds yummy by the way.

[BanzaiBonnie]

37. I think you have a real winner there

And I really like the idea of baked Alaska.

[CTyankee]

39. That was one of my daughter's friend's idea!

They're inviting 10 couples in their town in Mass. (Boston suburbs). Obama supporters ONLY. After much discussion they decided on an after dinner party serving only desserts and drinks.

[last1standing]

12. Champagne in the wine cooler.

If that runs out and I still feel like "celebrating" it's on to a 1997 Cab I've been squirreling away. :D

[TomClash]

13. French wine

But champagne tonight.

[progressivebydesign]

14. Jones Soda "Yes We Can Cola" with Obama's pic on the label!

[cojoel]

15. Blanton's Single Barrel

Bourbon on election night is a winning tradition in my house (didn't have any in 2000 nor 2004). So I went pricey for today. :party:

[deepthought42]

16. beer!

:beer:

I got me some Fordham (a local beer from MD/DE). I also have some Captain Morgan Parrot Bay passion fruit rum, a little bottle of Hypnotique, and a little bottle of Starbucks coffee liqueur, just in case... :toast:

Edited to add: Damnit! Now I have to go get some champagne too!

[dannofoot]

17. Piper Sonoma

Their Blanc de Noirs, to be exact. I'm going to wait until I see Brit Hume sneer into the camera and choke out the words, "Fox News...must now...call this election for...Barack Obama."

Then I'm gonna let that cork pop, and probably pour some over my and Mrs. Dannofoot's head before consuming the rest.

[BlooInBloo]

[chitty]

52. You CANNOT resist the Makers

[WorseBeforeBetter]

61. It's almost 4 o'clock... I caved.

Now if I can only keep my hands off of this fresh-out-of-the-oven artichoke/feta dip I made for later.

[DevonRex]

49. If I could drink, I'd have a Finlandia vodka martini and an ESB beer.

Woodbridge- Mondavi red wine. Also soda ealry in the evening.

[Mz Pip]

79. That's what I'm buying

later on today. It will be worth the splurge.

[FatDave]

69. Newcastle

I'd rather it was a Samuel Smith's Nut Brown, or a Young's Oatmeal Stout. Or maybe some nice dark Rogue flavor (Shakespeare, Chocolate, maybe Hazelnut Brown). Or even a Goose Island Brown.

But all I have on hand is Newcastle.

[Faygo Kid]

70. Significant other away at a stupid conference, so the champagne stays on ice.

Awful that we can't watch the returns come in together. Who is dumb enough to schedule a stupid conference over a frigging PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?

I'm pissed. I thought about going with vodka, buy am afraid that might get carried away, given the stress of the evening. Plus, I have to work tomorrow - unexpectedly (I took the day off months ago; found out at noon that I have to go in to put a report together on the election).

So I just have a nice chianti I picked out, and will probably make myself some kind of pasta dinner. Unless I get in the mood to have it with fava beans and some Republican's liver.

[stoneschick84]

71. Pabst Blue Ribbon or Blue Moon (sticking with the "blue" theme)

and hopefully some Asti Spumante to celebrate!

[AtomicKitten]

73. The official drink of California: Margaritas!!!

[Left Is Write]

74. We bought a French wine this morning - a Lezongars bourdeaux.

Mr. LIW and I stopped for a quick lunch today at our favorite French wine shop. The proprietor, a longtime acquaintance of ours, said in his lovely French accent, "Do you think it will be Obama?" (and oh, how melodious his voice made Obama sound!), and we answered that we hoped so.

We asked his advice for a celebratory wine - in the strong hopes that we will be celebrating - and he recommended this bourdeaux.

This man is a French national, and he said, "All of Europe, all of France, we believe, we hope, that it will be Obama."

[Smuckies]

75. Fruit punch.

[Phoonzang]

76. Jagermeister.

[Jed Dilligan]

77. Whatever's good on tap at the Radisson

Sierra Nevada is the best I can hope for. It'll be worth it to attend the official Obama party.

[kckc]

78. Woodchuck Amber Cider

I'm going Colonial/Founding Fathers tonight :) In the good, revolutionary way of course.

[SpookyCat]

81. Well, I can't drink...

but I have Marinellis to toast with.

Comrade Snarky has a nice old bottle of Port he's been saving, so I suspect that will make the rounds with our friends.

Right now I'm chain smoking my Al Capone Sweets mini cigars like there's no tomorrow. Gonna have to cut way back after this is all done.

[fed_up_mother]

82. Champagne
