Strategies for curbing joblessness are top of mind in Washington these days—with nearly 10% out of work, politicians are making employment an even greater priority. While President Obama and his administration look to extend insurance and ponder incentives for employers, a Barack-to-Work can brighten your own prospects: A tart-yet-sweet push back in the direction of full employment, this drink comes to its next great opportunity with plenty of relevant experience. Honey helps job interviews go down easy, and tangy blood orange sharpens all the ideas you bring to the table. What are the benefits? You’ll get your 401K off the rocks, since the Barack-to-Work gets shaken then strained, and before you know it, you're hired. Huzzah! Pour it into a champagne flute, top with some bubbly, and get ready for a great first day.

The Barack-to-Work 1 oz blood orange juice 1 oz honey syrup 1 oz Le Tourment Vert absinthe

- Add ingredients and ice to a shaker - Shake - Serve in a champagne flute and top with Perrier Jouet Brut NV champagne (approximately 1 oz)
