I was going to write a serious article about The Talking Cheeto’s reason for wanting to end food regulation (food contamination violations in Trump restaurants) However, we’ve had a week, have we not? I think we could all use a drink — or 5. The debates are coming up and the debate drinking games are coming up, so let’s get to it:
The Towering Inferno
INGREDIENTS
-
Ice
-
1 1/2 ounces cinnamon whiskey
-
3/4 ounce Cynar
-
3 ounces whole milk
-
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
-
Long twist of orange peel, for garnish (may substitute tuft of yellow cotton candy)
DIRECTIONS
Fill a Collins glass with ice. Pour the whiskey carefully down the inside wall of the glass, then the Cynar; then do the same with the milk, pouring slowly. (This way, the milk and the liquors will stay layered in the glass.)
Top with the bitters, then garnish with the twist of orange peel.

And a bite to eat for the morning after:
