The Ranger Suarez Cocktail

Ranger Suarez was the Phillies’ Game 3 starter today in the NLCS against the Padres. I decided to take a chance. Why not invent a drink based on his name? He’s kind of an underrated starter, not an ace but a guy that has fought to get into the rotation and earned his spot. Kind of like this drink, made with dry vermouth and has no business being this good.

Ingredients

• 1 part vodka
• 1 part dry vermouth
• 1 part dry white wine (trust me)
• 2 parts sprite
• Splash of very red fruit punch
• 5 drops of bitters
• Ice

Assembly

1. Put the ice in a tumbler, then pour the vodka. Let it sit a minute.
2. Put the vermouth, white wine, lemon lime soda, fruit punch, and drops of bitters, in that order.
3. Stir and serve. Optionally, line the rim lightly with salt for extra on the fastball.

Hoping this cocktail is Ranger Suarez approved!
