There are some lesser known US presidents who may not be on dollar bills, so I thought they needed a drink.
The William Henry Harrison
He may have only been president for 31 days, but the ninth president was the perfect inspiration for this after-eight flavoured drink.
Be sure to serve it with plenty of ice!
- 2 measures Bourbon
- 3 measures Baileys
- 1 measure Creme de menthe
Mix the Bourbon. Baileys and Creme de menthe in a cocktail shaker. Pour into whisky glass with plenty of ice.
The rutherford B. Hayes
Some people think he was a mid-range president, but I think he is one of history's baddies, so this drink has lashings of bitters.
- 2 measures Bourbon
- 3 measures Lemonade
- dash of bitters
Fill a whisky glass with plenty of ice. Add the Bourbon and top up with Lemonade. Add a dash or two of bitters and serve.
the calvin coolidge
Tall, cool and with a New England flavour, Calvin Coolidge was the obvious inspiration for this winter warmer.
- 2 measures Bourbon
- 3 measures single cream
- 1/2 measure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Fill a shaker with ice and pour in the bourbon, cream and maple syrup. Shake thoroughly and strain into a martini glass. Dust with the grated nutmeg.
