Phil Kessel is an absolute beauty and it seems it’s a genetic trait.

The Pittsburgh Penguins star has been making the rounds with the Stanley Cup, doing amazing things like bringing it to a children’s hospital. Kessel got the chance to bring the cup celebrations to his family and they did not disappoint.

In an unsurprising move, the Kessel family drank alcoholic beverages from the iconic trophy (as you do), but one particular family member topped them all with their drink – Kessel’s grandmother. With bottles littered on the ground, Kessel’s grandma got in on the action, taking a swig from the Stanley Cup like a total boss. The moment was captured on video by Kari Kessel and it’s pretty damn great.


It doesn’t matter what age you are, if you get the chance to drink from the Stanley Cup, you do it. Kessel’s family appropriately cheered her on after the feat. Well done.

I’m still enthused Kessel proved his doubters wrong and won a Stanley Cup. He’s one of the best goal-scorers in the league and didn’t get any respect with the Maple Leafs. Videos like this one, make the win all that more awesome. Congrats Phil and Grandma Kessel.
