Who could forget Drumpf's infamous "Covfefe" tweet??
Covfefe, the scandal:
Covfefe, the scandal:
First of all, May 2017 feels somehow simultaneously like it was a million years ago, and also like it was just yesterday. Do you know what I mean? It is the perfect encapsulation of how Trump's presidency has compressed time.
POTUS's half-asleep Twitter gaffe became an immediate global scandal. Looking back, it's hard to understand why. I mean, yes, he's President of the United States, so his every utterance and tweet is meaningful by definition. But of course this tweet was an Ambien-induced mistake. Of course there is no meaning behind the autocorrect created non-word "covfefe." But the entire world mulled over its meaning anyway. And President Thin-Skin played it off like he meant to tweet it.
Because of course he did.
When I set out to make a Covfefe-inspired shot I endeavored to represent all of the elements of this non-scandal by creating a shot that is super-sweet and immediate in its flavor, fluffy and substance-less. There's no nuance in the Covfefe shot. There aren't layers of flavors to linger on the tongue. There are no "notes" or "hints" of something more. It is what it is, and what it is, is the perfect embodiment of a non-scandal scandal.

Combine equal parts whipped cream vodka and amaretto with half as much coffee liqueur in a shaker over ice. Pour into a shot glass. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles for flair. Shoot and enjoy!
Don't drink and tweet. Those who do no learn from Covfefe are doomed to repeat it.
