Mute Him! Themed Cocktail Recipes for the Presidential Debate

Cocktail Recipes That Will Make Trump on Mute Even More Magnificent

Before I share my cocktail recipes, I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find out that tonight’s presidential debate includes a mute button! What is even better is that the moderator is a woman. That’s right folks. Trump may very well be silenced by a woman! Kristen Welker is the NBC News White House correspondent and Weekend TODAY host, who will be lobbing questions from debate topics including the coronavirus, race in America, climate change, national security, US families, and leadership at trump and Biden. And unless a miracle occurs and trump somehow manages to shut the fuck up when he is supposed to, she may also be the first moderator to hit mute and silence the orange terrorist. 

I, like so many of you, just can’t wait. However, as excited as I am, I’m not fooling myself. I indeed want a cocktail to ease the pain of watching and listening to trump rant like an angry toddler. So imagine the joy I felt when I began researching themed cocktails and found several that are perfect for the last Presidential debate of 2020. Read on to find out more.

Mute Him! Cocktail Recipes that Celebrate the Silence

Raise a glass full of one of these awesome cocktail recipes for a hardy cheers every time trump gets muted. I’m willing to bet we’ll all be smashed before the final presidential debate is even over.

The Silent Third

You need:

• 1 oz Cointreu
• 1.5 oz Bruichladich Scotch Whiskey

Make it: Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. Drink and shout, “Mute him!”

Silent Night Martini

You need:

• ¹⁄₄ cup Malibu rum
• ¹⁄₄ cup pineapple juice
• ¹⁄₈ cup blue curacao
• ¹⁄₈ cup white Creme de Cacao
• splash whipping cream (1/2 & 1/2 will do, in a pinch)

Make it: Combine all ingredients plus some ice, in a shaker and give a good shake. Pour into a sugar rimmed glass. Then imagine the bliss that would be a world without ever having to hear trumps voice again. A girl can dream.

Muted Boulevardier

You need:

• 1 1/2 oz Old Forester 86 Proof Bourbon
