On the night of the debate, you can find us at the bar. Or on our couches with friends, simultaneously thumbing through Twitter and heavy-pouring gin to the top of a highball glass. So, yeah, "the bar." To get through the worst of it, we'll be following this menu of stiff drinks and bar snacks scientifically proven to help survive the election. Feel free to join in.

    Blood Orange Jell-O Shots

    Potent—but so much classier than your dive bar shots. Take one every time you're tempted to reach for the remote and change the channel to reruns of Real Housewives.

    Spicy Oven-Roasted Potatoes

    Who’s crazy enough to deep-fry on a weeknight? Not us. Crazy is what's being broadcast back to us during a live debate already. These baked fries are the only thing that makes sense anymore.

    Mezcal Paloma

    Mezcal is strong. So is our will to live, in spite of this election.

    Neo-Neapolitan Bombe

    Coordinate the entrance of this gigantic ice cream ball with questions about national security. This is the bombe.com, with an "e." There's nothing to worry about. It's just ice cream. A lot of it.
