Happy President's Day! Do you know what your favorite President's beverage of choice was?

Happy President's Day! I love this article by Advanced Mixology 25 Favorite Drinks Of The Most Popular US Presidents, which explores the preferred beverages of the most famous American presidents. Each President's signature drink speaks to their era and gives us a little insight into their personality. Abraham Lincoln's favorite drink was water, while John F. Kennedy loved a Bloody Mary or two. Of course, Stonewall Andrew Jackson preferred whiskey, and Thomas Jefferson gave off red wine vibes. I already knew my favorite President, Obama, was a beer drinker. Don't tell Bill Clinton he's not my favorite President anymore (Arkansas pride).

So, more importantly, this article led me to ask a more recent question: What is the preferred beverage of my teammates at Pink House Alchemy?
