Detroit Red Wing

The Detroit Red Wing is a refreshing and zesty cocktail that combines the warm, spicy notes of cinnamon schnapps with the effervescent and uniquely flavored Vernors Ginger Ale, a beloved Detroit classic. This drink is a nod to the city's vibrant spirit and its storied hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings. The cinnamon schnapps adds a bold, spicy kick that is perfectly balanced by the smooth, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor of Vernors, a ginger ale with a distinct vanilla undertone.

The cocktail's origins are rooted in the local pride of Detroit, celebrating both the iconic Vernors, which dates back to 1866, and the Red Wings, one of the oldest NHL franchises. The Detroit Red Wing cocktail captures the essence of the city's rich history and culture in a simple, yet flavorful drink. It's a perfect choice for fans looking to enjoy a taste of Detroit while cheering on their favorite team.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Any Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
