How To Make A Hail To The Chief Cocktail

Every veteran drinker who plays the bar scene battlefields with his fellow party soldiers at his side should know how to make a hail to the chief cocktail. Now we think that the hail to the chief cocktail was created with Barack Obama in mind (or that’s how the story goes) but today we give you the hail to the chief cocktail in honor of the leaders of our party crews across America. We all know that dude. That one special party pal who always has the in on the best parties, with the hottest chicks, all night diners, and knows how to make sure his boys are having a good time. The leader of the pack. The chief. Today party leaders, we salute you! To celebrate, let us demonstrate to you, how to make a hail to the chief cocktail and toast our glorious and fearless leaders as they lead us forward to the frontlines of the party scene!

To make a hail to the chief cocktail you will need:

• Pint glass
• Collins glass
• Muddler
• 1.5 oz Skyy grape vodka
• 1 tsp raw sugar
• 4 slices peeled ginger
• 4 blackberries
• Strainer
• Ice

It’s a little bit of work to make a hail to the chief cocktail, but isn’t it worth to honor your best wingman; commanding chief of the bar brawling brigade? The hail to the chief cocktail is drink to be shared among comrades of the bachelor night life in celebrations of victories like scoring the hot twins or defeating a bouncer in a bar fight, or just to a victorious conclusion to a long and eventful night on the scene . So here’s how you do it;

1. Start Muddling. Toss your berries, ginger, and sugar in the pint glass and pound the hell out of it with your muddling stick. Smash, poke and grind it all around, until it’s all pulverized and juicy. *Kind of like what one of you guys may be toasting to in the first place, huh? Start pounding!
2. Remove stick. Now you can give it a rest for a minute and add some alcohol to the system. Just pour that vodka right in. Remove your muddling stick and shake vigorously. You’re almost there soldier. You and your boys (or girls) will be wailing, “Hail to the chief!” real soon. Just keep shakin’ it.
3. Release. Time to really let go and let the juices flow, through a strainer, right over the ice into the Collins glass.

Ahh! Was it good for you? Hail to the chief cocktails, now that’s a salute.
