Kansas City Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are preparing to open a new steakhouse — and according to the quarterback, a drink inspired by Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift, is likely to be a hit.
“I’m not a big liquor drinker myself but, from everyone else, I’ve heard it’s a really good drink and obviously [we] wanted to have an ode to Taylor and how important she is, not only to us but this city as well,” Mahomes, 29, said of a cocktail called “The Alchemy” during a Wednesday, September 10, appearance on The Drive radio show.
“The Alchemy,” as Swifties know, is a song off of Swift’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. Many believe the song is an ode to her relationship with the tight end, 35. The lyrics, which feature a number of football references, describe a new romance between a pair who can’t “fight” their chemistry.

“I think people will be super excited to get it and it has the theatrics that I think people will love,” Mahomes continued. “I’m sure it is something that will be ordered a ton and be a best seller at 1587.”
The vodka-based cocktail is made with dry curaçao, aronia berry, cranberry, strawberry, lime and oolong tea, according to People.
The Super Bowl champions’ restaurant, 1587 — named after their uniform numbers — is set to open September 17 in Kansas City, Missouri.
