As the Democratic (September 4th – September 6th) and Republican (August 27th – August 30th) National Conventions approach, it’s easy to believe politics are a taboo topic in polite company. At a cocktail party, one wrong comment by a Democrat to a Republican—or vice versa—could have hors d’ oeuvres and cocktails flying across the room!

But dynamic duo James Carville, a liberal Democrat, and Mary Matalin, a conservative Republican, debunk this belief as the faces of Maker’s Mark Bourbon’s newest platform, which is designed to poke fun at partisan rhetoric – all in good taste, of course. After all, their relationship is proof that people who disagree can get along!

The Cocktail Party, the tongue-in-cheek campaign rolling out just in time for election season, is designed to encourage Americans to put their political differences aside and rally for a round of bourbon; it’s amazing how good food and delicious cocktails can bring people together!

To lighten the mood over the coming months, you will love seeing your favorite pundits interject in a new light; take a peak Super-PAC-free videos featuring both Carville and Matalin here (Cocktail Party videos) for a preview.
