You can't watch the Red Wings get slammed against the board and receive pucks to the face while sipping Cosmos or Fuzzy Navels. Sure, there's beer and Irish Car Bombs, but a special time calls for special drink. As the Wings fight to bring home the Stanley Cup, make Nicklas Lidstrom proud by ordering up one of these hockey-inspired drinks. For those who don't follow hockey (we wouldn't mention that too loudly if we were you), here's a chance brush up on some hockey terms. Oh, and you can certainly use these drinks as inspiration if the Stanley Cup makes it to a party near you. Drink up, champions.
