The Big game is around the corner, and like any good story, it’s being built as a battle of David Vs Goliath. High powered offense from the new kids on the block vs the greatest QB/Coach combo in history possibly. Who are you rooting for? More importantly, where are you going to tailgate? There’s a good chance you’ll be hosting a party or going to one where what you eat and drink will be a big deal, so let us make it easier for you with this delicious cocktail options that work for almost any type of drinking crowd.
Linebacker Limeade
Six 12 oz Bottles of Corona
One 12 oz can of frozen minute made limeade concentrate.
1/2 a lime.
One of my FAVORITE beer cocktails I got from Rachael Ray. Easy, tasty, and appeals to both beer lovers and those cocktail fans that prefer something a little sweeter. In a large pitcher combine the limeade concentrate with your beer. After the foam settles squeeze the half a lime into the pitcher and stir. Pour into chilled glasses and serve. This makes 6 servings. Of course you could do the math and make an individual portion.
Lynchburg Lemonade (My variation)
1 1/2 oz Jack Daniels
2 Oz Simple Syrup
1 Oz Triple Sec
Splash of Club Soda.
2 Slices of Lemon
What would a Tailgate be without whiskey right? This is my variation on a classic. I prefer simple syrup rather than sweet n sour which the original recipe calls for. Also depending on where you’re from some top it off with Lemon Lime soda but I prefer Club soda. It’s your party, so find which works best for you. In a mixing glass muddle your lemon slices, then add in ice, bourbon, simple syrup, and triple sec. Shake, and pour. Top off with your club soda.
The John Daly
3 oz Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
3 oz Lemonade
This one is as easy as it gets but tastes AMAZING. This adult Arnold Palmer is sure to be a hit at any tailgate. Combine your Vodka and your lemonade of ice and enjoy.
Washington Apple (Shots)
1 Part Whiskey
1 Part Apple Pucker Schnapps
1 Part Cranberry Juice
Always a hit with the girls yet still a nice bite for the fellas thanks to the whiskey. Throw these three in a shaker and pour into shots for a good time.
