The folks at Floridian rum distillery, Wicked Dolphin, definitely have a “wicked” sense of humor. On Monday, the brand teased the new “release” of a buffalo chicken-flavored rum on Instagram, complete with a cocktail recipe — for April Fools’ of course.

In a post captioned “hot off the still,” the brand teased a fiery-flavored rum meant to remind drinkers of a buffalo chicken tender sub.

“Our newest creation will leave your mouth watering,” the brand’s Instagram post read. “Crafted by our master distillers, this Buffalo Chicken Rum is finally ready for its debut.”

The brand joked that the team “worked tirelessly” to make crispy chicken tenders, toss them in buffalo sauce and blend them with Wicked Dolphin’s Crystal rum.

Wicked Dolphin additionally shared a joke cocktail called The Buff-tini, featuring the fictional rum, a ranch rim and a pickle garnish.

“If you’re ready to purchase, hop on over to aprilfools.com,” the post teased.
