There’s that moment in the middle of a stressful situation, specifically a presidential debate, when you’re thinking to yourself, “I need a drink.” Admit it. We’ve all been there. The go-to choice would probably be a beer, but if you’re looking for something a bit stronger, you might want to try a vodka cocktail.
Martinis, specifically vodka martinis, are the drink of choice for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and it’s very easy to see why. They are extremely easy to make and there’s the added bonus of seeming like a total badass.

So maybe you don’t want to be like Hillary. You can still make your evening great again with this a classic Moscow Mule. Why choose this? It’s a refreshing candidate, just like Trump.
