When Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor clocked bat-flipping Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista on Sunday, the punch heard around the world roiled the internet and prompted plenty of snide commentary:

Inevitably, the bench-clearing brawl that followed Odor’s epic right hand resulted in a slew of penalties for players on both sides. Odor has been hit with $5,000 fine and an 8-game suspension, reports ESPN, which he says he’ll appeal.
Via their double-A minor league team the Frisco RoughRiders, the Rangers have decided to capitalize on Odor’s impressive pugilistic skills by creating a cocktail in his honor—”Rougie’s Red Punch.”

It even comes in its own souvenir cup, which is nice.
Maybe someone will offer one to Jose Bautista, because we’re pretty sure he might still need a little something to numb his sore jaw.
