NC distiller debuts specialty Canes cocktail.
Grab your jerseys and raise your cans, Canes fans, because there’s a new drink taking the Lenovo Center by storm. Enter Wilmington-based End of Days Distillery’s new first-of-its-kind partnership with the Carolina Hurricanes on a ready-to-drink cocktail.
Launched Oct. 11 during the Canes’ opening night and available at all home games this season, the Hurricane cocktail—a special edition release of an existing award-winning EOD mix—is already a fan-favorite sip. To wit, it snagged Double Gold at the 2022 SIP Awards and a Gold recognition at The Fifty Best 2024 RTD Competition (!).
The chic Canes-branded red can, natch, features the distillery’s signature Port of Entry Rum, passionfruit, lemon juice and a bubbly twist. Think of it like a sibling can to R&D Brewing’s Storm Brew for nonbeer-drinkers, if you will.
“We are excited about our partnership with the Carolina Hurricanes, as it represents a harmonious blend of our shared values,” says EOD Distillery founder Shane Faulkner. “Like the Hurricanes, we strive for excellence in our field. This cocktail enhances the game-day experience, embodying the energy and spirit of the fans and players alike.”
But the fun doesn’t stop at the Novo. Those catching the action at home’ll be able to stock their fridge with hockey-fueled cocktails to keep the party going all season long by snagging the special-edition sips at ABC stores within a 75-mile radius of Raleigh—plus in the distillery’s home county of New Hanover.
A first for both the Carolina Hurricanes and End of Days, the ready-to-drink cocktail partnership is set to run through June 30. “It’s been absolutely fantastic,” emphasizes Faulkner. “We’re looking forward to the exposure and support throughout the state.”
So whether you’re a die-hard Canes fan or just in it for the atmosphere—er, the alcohol—this special-edition ’tail is set to be the real MVP this season. Get ready to cause some chaos! eoddistillery.com
