Geeky question-- Alcohol for Abraham Lincoln's birthday?

My husband and don't always just crack open a Bud and drink. (Okay. We don't normally drink Budweiser, either.) We like to to silly things like pair alcohol with "holidays" for a theme. (i.e., Warsteiner for Reformation Day, Three Philosphers for Epiphany... Though this year, since we didn't have access to good liquor stores and good grocery stores, we did do Budweiser-- The self proclaimed king of beers; We had three for the traditional three wise men) My husband is a history geek and started doing Abraham Lincoln's birthday and George Washington's birthday to help teach history for our daughter.

For Washington's birthday, I thought of cherry wine and Sam Adams beer. However, I was trying to think of something for today, just for the heck of it.

Update:

Thanks for telling me about the Budweiser. Since we have evolved, we rarely drink it anymore as it has little taste to us. We call it a light beer. :-D

I'll look into the whiskey, but the grocery store at which I'll be shopping has a limited selection. I could go to the liquor store, but I don't think I'll have time and I don't want to take my daughter to it after I pick her up.

The alcohol part, is for us. :-D We're not doing a themed dinner, though we should have thought ahead. I remember as a kid, my mother would bake a cherry pie for Washington's birthday which is how I got the idea for the cherry wine for us. I'm sorry I didn't clarify. My brain is not functioning up to par. I didn't sleep well last night which happens almost every night, but I feel more exhausted today and apparently, not functioning well mentally. (I'm physically exhausted.)

Again, thank you.

Update 2:

ETA II: It also just occurred to me to look for "civil war era beer"... I was doing searches with Abraham Lincoln... I AM brain dead today.

    I would say a Tennessee Whiskey. He lived in a cabin in southern IL when he was young.

    I like your Sam Adams for Washington.

    I don't mean this insultingly (its a joke). It sounds like your husband is teaching your daughter to be an alcoholic.

    Not Tennessee whiskey, but Kentucky bourbon. Lincoln was born in Kentucky, not Tennessee (or Illinois).
