Get the President a drink, Russia is on the hotline! (by WalkSoftly)
Fav drinks of our Commanders-in-Chief....only posting from FDR fwd....link has all the others if youre interested.
"" Franklin D. Roosevelt
FDR is most associated with cocktails.
He enjoyed mixing gin-based martinis
(and occasionally whiskey-based
Manhattans). His favorite thing to sip
while sailing was the Bermuda Rum
Swizzle:
2 oz. dark rum
1 oz. lime juice
1 oz. orange juice
1 generous dash of Falernum (a sweet
syrup)
Harry Truman
Truman loved bourbon and quite often
knocked down a shot of it in the
morning; part of his routine that also
involved a brisk walk and a rubdown.
He also liked a very strong Old
Fashioned and would complain if his
staff made it too weak.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Because of several heart attacks
(probably due to his habitual chain-
smoking), Ike was limited to just a few
drinks by his doc. He typically chose
Scotch, and sometimes would overrule
his doctor and have a second one.
John F. Kennedy
JFK drank lots of different stuff, so it’s
hard to pick a favorite. Some were
trendy drinks of the rich — daiquiris,
Bloody Marys, and (considered at the
time a big deal because it was
imported) Heineken beer.
Lyndon B. Johnson
LBJ loved Scotch whiskey and enjoyed
driving (at high speeds) around his
Texas ranch while drinking it out of a
plastic cup.
Richard Nixon
Nixon would drink expensive bottles of
Chateau Lafite Rothschild (costing
hundreds of dollars); at the same time,
he instructed his staff to serve mediocre
red wine to his guests — with towels
wrapped around the bottle’s label so
they did not know what they were
getting. Tricky **** indeed!
Gerald Ford
Ford grew accustomed to a few
martinis, sometimes even at lunch,
when he was in the House of
Representatives. When he became
president in the aftermath of Watergate,
Ford’s staff had to suggest he cut back.
Jimmy Carter
Carter drank very sparingly. When he
had an arms summit with Soviet
leaders, Carter arranged to get a very
small glass of white wine for the
obligatory toasts — so he could avoid
downing powerful Russian vodka.
Ronald Reagan
Reagan liked California wines and an
occasional Orange Blossom Special
made with vodka:
1 oz. (or slightly less in Reagan’s case)
vodka.
1 oz. of either grenadine or sweet
vermouth
2 oz. fresh orange juice
All brought together in a barroom glass
filled with ice.
George H. W. Bush
“41” drank a little bit of everything,
including beer and vodka martinis.
William Clinton
As a scholar at Oxford, Clinton
reportedly indulged in the Snakebite:
Ingredients:
8 oz. hard cider
8 oz. lager beer
(Add ¼ oz. black currant liqueur for a
Snakebite variation the Brits
call Diesel.)
George W. Bush
Bush “retired” from drinking years
before he became president.
Barack Obama
The current president likes beer. The
Executive Mansion also features White
House Honey Ale (with honey from the
White House hives) for special guests.""
