Today is the day. Whether this election goes right or left, we’re all going to need a drink. I came across some election inspired drinks that I’m going to serve at my election day party tonight. They’re really delicious and, most likely, going to be very much necessary. Note: No matter if you’re celebrating or drowning your sorrows, don’t forget to drink a couple glasses of water before going to bed so your skin doesn’t get dehydrated.
