Posted August 7, 2015

It’s an unfortunate day for most Jon Stewart fans, and many may be having a hard time coping now that his reign is over at The Daily Show. But there will always be the reruns, and for all those re-runners out there, here are five drinks you can have that will cheer you up over this television loss.

The Whack in the Head

Apparently, before Jon Stewart was a Comedy Central staple, he was a bartender, and believe it or not, he invented his own drink. Here is the recipe for Jon Stewarts made up drink. See below for the Mt Rose Version

1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce tequila
1/2 ounce light rum
1/2 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce Southern Comfort
1/2 ounce amaretto liqueur
1/2 ounce orange juice
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1 tsp. superfine sugar
1 dash grenadine syrup
1/2 cup cold Coca Cola, or to taste

Mt Rose Version

1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce tequila
1/2 ounce light rum
1/2 ounce Mt Rose triple sec
1/2 ounce Southern Comfort
1/2 ounce amaretto liqueur
1/2 ounce orange juice
1 ounce Mt Rose Sweet and Sour
1 dash grenadine syrup
1/2 cup cold Coca Cola, or to taste

Bloody Mary

Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show might be considered close to a hang over, and like all hangovers, they can be cured with a good old fashioned Bloody Mary.

4 ounces Mt Rose Bloody Mary Mix
2 ounces Vodka
Tabasco optional

Earl Grey Martini

So that your own snarky jokes about politics can carry just a little more added sophistication.

Begin by putting 4 earl grey tea bags into your choice of 2 ounces vodka or gin and let sit for 1 hour
Add 2 ounces Mt Rose Simple Syrup
Add 2 ounces lemon juice
Shake with ice and strain into a glass

Dirty Martini

Almost as dry as parts of Jon’s humor.
