You may not need additional glasses if you purchase the limited edition Hennessy X.O 49 Commemorative Cocktail Set. According to a statement sent to Mashed, the set includes not only a 750 milliliter bottle of Hennessy X.O, but an ice cube mold (it plays a part in the cocktail recipe), a tray, and glasses etched with the number 49. Cocktail Courier indicates that the kit also contains flavored teabags and oranges. Plus — of course — the recipe for a special cocktail they’ve dubbed The 49th, honoring Harris as the 49th VP.
For each one of these sets they sell, Hennessy will make a donation to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to help women attending HBCUs, as Harris did (she’s a Howard alum). Even if you don’t pony up for a $260 cocktail set, though, you can still make the 49th, as Hennessy kindly supplied us with the drink recipe. To make the celebratory drink, you’ll start with two different flavors of teabag: one pomegranate, one hibiscus. Steep both tea bags in 14 ounces of boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes, then use this tea to fill an ice cube tray. For each drink you wish to make, place one pomegranate/hibiscus tea ice cube into a glass and pour 1-1/2 ounces of Hennessy X.O over the top. Garnish with a twist of orange peel. Enjoy, but drink responsibly! Madam Vice President would expect no less of you.
