As a nod to this week’s super bowl match up, we thought of mixing up a Black Eyed Susan, the official drink of Baltimore’s Preakness or a Bloody Brigid, invented at John’s Grill in San Francisco.
Then we realized the real fight will be for the remote come Sunday.
Taking a page from the Beggars Banquet playbook, we slightly adapted the drink, which pairs American bourbon and British ale, for a tipple honoring both sides of the [what to watch] coin flip.
