The Ruby Scrimmage cocktail is a bourbon drink that plays fast and clean. Inspired by the structure of a Paloma but built with American whiskey, it swaps tequila for Bulleit Bourbon and leans hard into citrus and carbonation. Fresh lemon juice brings sharp acidity, while grapefruit soda adds bitterness, lift, and a refreshing snap that keeps the drink light on its feet.

Bourbon might not be the obvious choice here, but that’s the point. The spice and oak from Bulleit cut through the citrus instead of fighting it, giving the drink structure without weight. Served tall over ice, Ruby Scrimmage is crisp, palate-cleansing, and easy to keep refilling. It’s designed for hot afternoons, loud screens, and moments when you want something refreshing without losing the backbone of a real cocktail.

Shaken or Stirred? Built. No shaking required. Building over ice keeps the drink bright and lively.
