People in Washington have always lived and breathed politics. In the run-up to this year's election, they can drink it too.
The Degrees bar is offering the choice of two cocktails — the Kerry Berry Kosmo and the W-tini.
Both were invented by master mixer Michael Brown, who says roughly equal sales of the two drinks mirrors splits in the electorate.
"The people who like Kerry don't want to order a W-tini, no matter if they think the ingredients work for them or not. Same thing goes for the Kerry Berry.
"So people are very much divided across political lines on this election. This election's going to be huge."
And as well as mixing the drinks, Mr Brown also switched the traditional party colours — making the Democrat drink red and the Republican blue, to show how candidates had to reach across party lines.
