Ri Ra in Georgetown Offers Up Crazy Cocktail Menu During Republican National Convention

Try a "Meet Me at the Canadian Border" or a "When Hillary Met John" while watching the convention Wednesday evening.

If you're a political junkie -- and if you live in D.C., there's a good chance that's true -- the party conventions are the biggest event in four years. And with the Republican National Convention going on now and the Democrats following up not long after, there's one bar that's openly courting the politicos to come hang out and watch the action: Ri Ra in Georgetown.

This Wednesday evening at 5 p.m., Ri Ra will be hosting "The Political Party" in the President's Room, offering all sorts of clever politically inspired cocktails for you to enjoy.

Sip on a "Meet Me at the Canadian Border" for $18, which includes LOT 40 whiskey, Dolin dry, Dolin rouge, Angostura and Luxardo cherry. Or, for a more Democratically inspired cocktail, try the "When Hillary Met John" for $14, which includes Grey Goose vodka, Dolin dry, olive or lemon twist and whatever else you want.
