Quartz’s cocktail czars have created the America’s Requiem as a fitting commemoration of a Trump victory. It’s based off a recipe for one of the bitterest cocktails known to mixology: Eeyore’s Requiem, which combines the hair-raising trio of Campari, Fernet Branca, and Cynar with an exceptional 15 drops of bitters. In this case, we’ve replaced half the Campari with Aperol—to take off the edge slightly, and because a cocktail in Donald Trump’s honor needs every orange-colored liquor it can get.
