Mr P: I'm sticking with Black Velvet--not champagne and stout, but the Canadian Whiskey that inhabits the lower shelf of our local emporium; for all its humble origins has never played me false.
Andrew Cusack: It's champagne for me.
Steve M: Club soda for me, alas.
Erik Keilholtz: Either gin martinis (redundant - there is not such thing as a non-gin martini) or Manhattans, same as any other morning.
Basil Seal: The Vesper, of course.
Sven in Colorado: Bushmills with just enough branch water to "release the demons." I'll wash it down with a pint o' Black and Tan (Guinness and Fat Tire).
Amy in NH: Dark n Stormy. Husband recently home from the Caribbean with an assortment of my favorite dark rums.
Joel in Alaska: For me? Alaska Amber pulled from the back deck and served just before it slushes, two at a time in a tall plastic cup from Wal-Mart. You Betcha!
The Irish Elk is thinking maybe Powers Gold Label chased with Harpoon IPA.
What are you having?
11/5 UPDATE
Old Dominion Tory: Last night, as soon as I arrived home from my day's labors as the Chief Officer of Election at the Highland Belle precinct, I poured myself a large bourbon (Woodford Reserve), not only because I needed refreshment and reinvigoration (I had been awake since about 0315 because I needed to be at the polls at 0500), but also because, based on my precinct's results, I knew that Senator Obama would win Virginia. For the ODT traditional Election Night fare of steak, baked potato, and Caesar salad, Mrs. Tory and I drank 2005 Phantom from Bogle Vineyards). I followed that with a few hours of political coverage and several large brandies.
