Raise a Glass to Debate Night
When it comes to debate night, emotions can run high, but here at AVIV 613 Vodka, we believe in taking a step back, raising a glass, and making these political evenings a little more peaceful. With that in mind, we’ve crafted two elegant, debate-themed cocktails — one red and one blue. Rest assured, this is not about choosing sides; it’s about creating an atmosphere where we can come together and enjoy the night with grace, style, and a drink in hand.
Why Cocktails for Debate Night?
Politics might divide us, but a beautifully crafted cocktail has the power to bring us back together. By introducing a touch of thoughtful elegance to your debate viewing party, we hope to foster an evening of calm and conversation — something everyone can get behind, no matter what side of the aisle you’re on. With AVIV 613 Vodka as the star, these drinks embody the smooth, refined flavors that unite us all, no matter what our differences may be.
The Conservative Collins: A Red Reflection
This cocktail is our refined nod to the traditional Tom Collins. Featuring a deep, vibrant red from grenadine, the Conservative Collins offers a crisp, slightly tart flavor balanced by the unmistakable smoothness of AVIV 613 Vodka. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy while listening to differing opinions with an open mind.
Recipe:
- 2 oz AVIV 613 Vodka
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz grenadine
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Club soda
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions: Fill a Collins glass with ice, pour in your vodka, lemon juice, grenadine, and simple syrup, and stir gently. Top it off with club soda for a refreshing fizz and garnish with fresh raspberries.
The Liberal Blueberry Martini: A Blue Vision
For those leaning towards a drink with a bit more flair, the Liberal Blueberry Martini shines in a bold, beautiful blue, courtesy of blue curaçao. Paired with AVIV 613 Vodka’s silky-smooth texture, this martini is as elegant as it is flavorful. It’s the perfect drink for setting a calm and welcoming mood while discussions unfold.
Recipe:
- 2 oz AVIV 613 Vodka
- 1 oz blue curaçao
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Fresh blueberries for garnish
Instructions: Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a skewer of fresh blueberries to give the night a sweet finish.
A Toast to Unity
Whether your glass is red or blue, what matters most is the spirit of unity and gratitude behind each sip. AVIV 613 Vodka, with its smooth, clean finish and rich heritage, invites you to take a moment to reflect, to celebrate, and to enjoy life’s moments — even the ones we tend to overlook.
Debate nights can be intense, but with the right company and a perfectly crafted cocktail, we can make them a little more enjoyable, and maybe even a little more peaceful. So, as you settle in for the evening, raise a glass — not to one side or the other, but to civility, connection, and the hope for a better tomorrow.
Cheers! Let’s debate respectfully, drink responsibly, and toast to the spirit of togetherness.
