In honor of the most excruciating election we've ever experienced, here's the perfect cocktail to get you through it. Weve named it The Swing State, because it holds an undeserved amount of power and influence. It makes all of the other cocktails in your life pretty much meaningless, like why did you even make those? They dont really count. This counts. Oh, and also: It might just be the strongest cocktail weve ever created.
