Sophisticated Taste, Simply Served — no clubhouse required.
Golf has a lot of rituals. The pre-round coffee. The mulligan nobody talks about. The slow walk to the cart after a three-putt. And then there's the 19th hole — the unofficial best part of the round, where the scorecards come out and everyone agrees to remember the good shots only.
We think the 19th hole deserves better than a rushed order at the bar. So we built a lineup around it — and a name for that particular kind of pour: the birdie shot. Earn one, pour one.
What Actually Goes Well With a Round of Golf
The honest answer is: whatever survives a golf cart, a warm afternoon, and zero access to a bartender. That rules out a lot of "great golf cocktails" listicles that recommend things you'd need a shaker, fresh citrus, and a cooler of ice to actually make on a course.
Brody's Crafted Cocktails are ready-to-serve — real spirits, all-natural flavors, no artificial colors — chilled and poured straight from the bottle. No mixing, no bartender, no mess in the cart. That's the whole pitch for a golf outing: the cocktail should be less work than the swing that got you here.
Three from our lineup do the job especially well for a round:
Leading Role — Bourbon whiskey blended with Irish whiskey, built around charred oak and dark fruit notes with a peated finish. This is the pour for the back nine, when the round's gotten serious and the cocktail should match.
Peach Cosmo — A vodka cocktail with bright Georgia peach character and cranberry-cosmo structure. Lighter, easier-drinking, built for a hot afternoon when you want something refreshing between holes rather than something to sip slowly.
Touch of Grey — Vodka built on real organic black tea with bergamot extract — genuinely one of the more unexpected pours on a golf course, and one of the more memorable. Earl Grey character with a citrus lift.
All three are 375mL, ready to chill and pour, and hold up fine in a cooler for a full round.
The Birdie Shot Tradition
Every group has some version of a "sink a birdie, take a shot" rule — it's one of golf's oldest unofficial traditions, dating back to informal clubhouse wagers long before anyone was filming their rounds for social media. We didn't invent the custom. We just decided it deserved real glassware instead of whatever's rattling around in the cart.
That's the idea behind the Birdie Shots Bundle: three of our golf-ready flavors — Leading Role, Peach Cosmo, and Touch of Grey — paired with a free 19th Hole Kit: a Brody's-branded aluminum divot tool with a magnetic ball marker, a microfiber golf towel, and a set of four real-glass Birdie Shots shot glasses (not plastic) etched with what you just earned.
Twelve bottles, one kit, $167.88, free shipping. Built for the walk off the 18th.

A Golf Outing Pour Guide
However your round is shaping up, there's a version of this that fits:
- The casual weekend foursome — one bottle each of Leading Role and Peach Cosmo split across the group, poured at the turn.
- The charity scramble or company outing — the full Birdie Shots Bundle covers a foursome through a full round with the 19th Hole toast built in.
- The "we're not really golfing" round — Peach Cosmo and Touch of Grey travel best in heat and don't need to be taken seriously to be enjoyed.
- The clubhouse porch afterward — this is what the 19th Hole Kit is actually for. Divot tool and marker are done for the day; towel's for the walk off; glassware's for the toast.
- Not ready for twelve bottles — build your own trio instead. Fall Kickoff lets you mix and match any three cocktails for $43.98 — buy two, get the third free.
Why Ready-to-Serve Makes Sense for a Round
A golf cart has a cooler, not a bar cart. That's the whole case for RTS cocktails on a course: there's no shaker, no jigger, no fresh citrus to juice between the 4th and 5th tee. Brody's is chilled and poured — real spirits, all-natural flavors, no artificial colors, ready in about five seconds. That's not a compromise on a golf course. It's the actual requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good cocktail to bring on a golf course?
Ready-to-serve cocktails travel best — no shaker, no mixer, no bartender required. Brody's Crafted Cocktails are chilled and poured straight from the bottle, so they hold up in a cart cooler for a full round without any prep.
What is a "birdie shot" in golf?
A birdie shot is the informal tradition of taking a shot (or a celebratory pour) after sinking a birdie — one under par on a hole. It's an unofficial golf custom, not tied to any particular tournament or brand, that groups have used for years to mark a good hole.
What's in the Birdie Shots Bundle?
Three 375mL bottles each of Leading Role, Peach Cosmo, and Touch of Grey (12 bottles total), plus a free 19th Hole Kit: an aluminum divot tool with magnetic ball marker, a microfiber golf towel, and a set of four real-glass Birdie Shots shot glasses.
Do Brody's cocktails need to be mixed?
No. Brody's Crafted Cocktails are ready-to-serve — chill and pour straight from the bottle. No shaker, no additional ingredients, no bartender needed.
What's the best Brody's cocktail for a hot day on the course?
Peach Cosmo and Touch of Grey both drink lighter and refresh well in heat. Leading Role, with its bourbon base, tends to suit cooler rounds or the walk off the 18th better than a scorching afternoon.
