Fourth of July is right around the corner, and with a summer storm on our radar looking to dampen the holiday, it’s time to start planning what to do if you’re forced to stay indoors this Fourth. We already gave you suggestions on how to have a blast in Boston – from bar crawls to boat cruises – but if the weather doesn’t hold up, you’re going to have to make your own fun.

Below, you’ll find drink recipes made from Boston-based distillery Bully Boy, who took the Independence Day theme to the next level with these drink recipes: each is fashioned after a former president’s favorite cocktail or liquor. Fun fact: Bully Boy is named after the favorite saying of Theodore Roosevelt, who was the college roommate of founders Will Willis and Dave Willis’s great-great grandfather. Casual.

So snag the following ingredients before the storm rolls in and shake them up to guarantee you can still let loose on America’s birthday, fireworks or not. It’s time drink like a now-deceased national leader.
