2026 Wild Card Game 1: Rams at Panthers

Potential Super Bowl Cocktail (PSBC) #1, in honor of the NFC #5 seed Los Angeles Rams: I’ve proposed the Davonte’s Inferno before (though previously as a Green Bay cocktail) and I still like that very much and would love to use it at some point while Adams is still playing. However, I also discovered that the Rams’ Kobie Turner has one of the most truly delightful player nicknames which would also make a great cocktail: the Conductor.

PSBC #2, in honor of the NFC #4 seed Carolina Panthers: This is one of my few no-brainers this year: the Three-Team Tiebreaker! We’ve had teams with losing records in the playoffs before, but this is one of the more absurd division-winning situations I can ever remember. (Also let’s be real, I probably will NOT be making this cocktail come February!)
