Drinking Thread Postponed Until It's Official.

I've been waiting for four years to crack my bottle of "Hillary 2016!" champagne.

When I do, I want to be here with you to share the moment.

Go to the store and stock up on your favorite drop. I'll see you here when the time comes.

I love you all...

It’s not a champagne but we are going to add some blue food coloring anyway. Cheers when the time comes!

I could substitute some tangerines for the orange slices, but I'm out of luck on the maraschino cherries.

I also could make a Tawny Russian.
