Drink one for Mitt
In Washington, even the bar scene is all about politics.
So it isn't a surprise that a D.C. hotspot charged up its menu with cocktails named for the 2008 candidates. The Lotus Lounge, located in the heart of lobbyist-filled K Street, features a Hillartini, a Cosmopolitan that is, like Hillary Clinton, "pink and feminine, yet strong and bold;"
John McCain and his Straight Talk Express get a straight-up Martini; and Barack Obama has the "Obama-rama," made with Gray Goose O, Malibu rum, orange juice, cranberry and pineapple -- an ode to Obama's youth spent in Hawaii.
Keeping with the theme, Utah's adopted son and Mormon Mitt Romney has "The Romney," a concoction of pineapple juice, cranberry juice and soda. There's no liquor in it though patrons can add a shot of vodka if they want.
