    Drinking and golf go together like, umm … I’m sorry, I was chugging an Arnold Palmer while writing this. Anyway, you can go to Augusta National and try out the Azalea Cocktail, head to any course worth its salt and order a Transfusion for the back nine or maybe you want to test your luck with the John Daly, which is crushing a Diet Coke bookended by two Miller Lites.

    Aware of how important a signature beverage can be for a golf event, the PGA of America announced on Wednesday a creative deal with Sugarlands Distilling Company to provide just that for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Hope you can hold your liquor because this one might be a doozy.

    Yes, the 2025 Ryder Cup will have its own official high-proof liquor, a limited-edition Ryder Cup-branded Cherry Limeade Moonshine now available at retailers nationwide. There will also be specially made Sugarlands cocktails at the Bethpage Black competition in September and at the PGA Championship in May at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. Gotta test out the goods if you get a chance.

    The PGA of America and the Tennessee-based distillery have been in cahoots for a while now (since 2021), so this isn’t shocking news, but what are we going to do? Not write about a brand-spanking-new Ryder Cup Moonshine? It’s almost like you’ve never read The Loop!

    Anyway, the drink looks like a winner, and we'd be more than happy to test it out on the course (or in the office) prior to the Ryder Cup. We may not all be going to Bethpage, but if you drink enough Moonshine, you can convince yourself that you’re teeing off in the event.
