Golf's Biggest Weekend, in a Jar
The Ryder Cup — the biennial USA-versus-Europe match play showdown — gets its own moonshine. The brand-distributed copy paints the picture: "Ryder Cup Lemonade meets the tongue with a lively citrus zest that warmly gives way to the sweetness of fresh lemonade," a "smooth, vibrant bite of summer sunshine" meant to be served chilled, straight out of the jar. As a limited commemorative it does not live on the brand's current roster, which makes the bottles that remain the collectible kind — for the golf fan and the moonshine fan alike.
