The Trumptini is a cold, cranberry-flavoured cocktail made with

lemon peel.[1]

While not a true

portmanteau of the name Trump (named after Donald Trump
) and the word martini.

Origins

The Trumptini is the signature cocktail of the

teetotal.[2]

In 2008, the Trumptini was awarded as "Best Signature Drink" by the Miami New Times.[3]

The "Trumptini" is a trademarked brand. In June 2016, ownership of the Trumptini trademark was transferred from the Trump Organization to Drinks Americas.[4]

Variations

Unofficial variations of the Trumptini have been served at various locations across the world.[1]

During the

2016 US presidential election campaign, The Rustic restaurant in Houston, Texas served a version of the Trumptini which used vodka instead of Bacardi, and used gold flakes instead of lemon peel.[5]

In 2018, Maxwells Steakhouse in

candy floss to imitate Trump's distinctive hairstyle, and was served alongside a shot glass of prosecco and Grenadine, which was meant to resemble the "nuclear button".[6]

As an internet meme

In April 2020, during a press conference on the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump appeared to ask whether injecting disinfectants into the body could be an effective cure for coronavirus, perhaps sarcastically.[7][8] Trump's comments were ridiculed online and formed the basis of several memes, with internet users creating fake recipes for a Trumptini cocktail, consisting of mixes of various bleaches and other disinfectants, and garnished with Tide Pods.[9]
