Give Me Two Obamaramas, One For Each Hand
Okay, this could be fun. A friend of mine, a grad student in Colorado, is helping organize a party to raise some money for the Obama campaign. His request: What are some creative ideas for an Obama-themed beverage?
My hope is that you all can submit some creative recipe ideas for a drink called “The Obamarama,” which can then be used for the party before sweeping the nation and quickly becoming a staple in every bar in the land. I’m thinking something with blue curacao.
Also, feel free to suggest your own drink names! I should add that this party is not an official campaign event, and I’ve been assured that “the Obamarama” and any other alcoholic drink will only be served to people over 21.
So, let’s hear some ideas. Not to make any snap judgments about readers of this site, but based on the quality of some of the past comments I think it’s safe to say you’re creative. And while I have no proof that you’re heavy drinkers, most of you are Democrats so I have to assume you at least understand the urge.

4 oz pineapple juice (for his Hawaiian roots)
1 1/2 oz coconut rum (for his tough exterior)
1 oz creme de bananes (for his time in Indonesia)
1 oz white rum (for the white vote… obviously)
1 tsp lemon juice (cus when life gives Obama a lemon, what does he make?)
I call my concoction: Hussein to the Membrane

I LOOOOOOVE Matty J’s recipe. Not so crazy about the name though.

Here’s one that combines Kansas and Kenya perfectly:
1 oz Everclear (what could say Kansas more than white grain spirits?)
2 shots Cafe Kilimanjaro espresso
optional: a teaspoon of sugar, if the mix tastes too strong
