Within our Presidential Debate Cocktail is the biggest decision you’ll make this election cycle! Will you choose what He Said or She Said? With the same base these respectively colored blue and red cocktails only vary by one ingredient, and that ends up making a HUGE difference.
The red version is hard hitting with the standout, bittersweet addition of Campari. It’s just what you need after what feels like a never-ending, doom-filled debate night. The blue version of this cocktail uses citrusy blue curaçao to create an opposing flavor-profile. It’s vibrant but still keeps the alcohol content at just the level you want to get through countless debate interruptions.
But, at the end of the day, both these variations are made from the same boozy cocktail base (which you may need to get through those anxiety-ridden 90 minutes). This recipe shows that no matter what cocktail you choose to make (or candidate you vote for this November) we are all the same inside, just human beings trying to make it through this outrageous thing called life.
When is the 2024 Presidential Debate and Where Can I Watch It?
The first debate between 2024 presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will take place on September 10 at 9 p.m. EST. The debate moderators consist of World News Tonight anchor and managing editor David Muir, along with ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis. Some main rules are that the debate will last 90 minutes, have no audience in the studio, and a candidate will have their microphone muted when the time belongs to another candidate. You can view the debate live on ABC or stream it on ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu.
