Olympic Medal-Worthy Cocktails

February 18, 2010 2:11 pm

No one can complain that this year's Olympic Games on Cypress Mountain have had a dull moment. Between Shaun White soaring above the half pipe to his second straight gold medal and Lindsey Vonn
winning the gold after a spectacular downhill run, there is no excuse not to celebrate these American victories.

Stay in the spirit and toast everyone participating in this year's Winter Games with some appropriately Olympic-themed cocktails. The 5 interlocking rings, which represent the athletes from 5 different continents, were originally debuted at the Antwerp Olympics in 1920, continue to represent the unity of athletes from around the world.

Salute the games and athletes at your next get-together with these cocktails, and remember-- Citius, Altius, Fortius!
