2026 Wild Card Recap

Here are our advancing contenders, to be joined by two more in the days to come. (A couple of them are new to the party as of the past weekend.)

The Snatcher of Souls*
The Alchemist
The Ralph 
The Shannahattan
The It’s Gonna Be Maye
The Swarm**

*I was starting to feel like the Rams cocktail really should be tied to Matthew Stafford, and this idea sprung out of the post-game coverage of their narrow win over the Panthers. 

**Similarly, especially after the Steelers game on Monday, it felt criminal not to honor the Texans defense. S.W.A.R.M. is actually rooted in DeMeco Ryans’s team motto, Special Work Ethic & Relentless Mindset, which whatever, but I keep seeing it applied to the defense in particular, and it fits and is a great cocktail name, so we’re going with it!
