There’s nothing like tasty game day cocktails to get everyone amped up for gridiron action…and trash talking. Ditch old faithful (aka beer) and step it up a notch. Just in time for college football championship game, I’m sharing these crowd-pleasing game day cocktails for your tailgate party. I’m even providing you with handy-dandy “pinnable” recipe cards.
5 Tasty Cocktails for Your Next Tailgate Party
#1 – The Alabama Slammer
I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where football is religion and we roll with The Tide. So of course, the Slammer is on #1 on my list. According to legend, this colorful cocktail was first shaken at the University of Alabama in 1975. It’s also said to be the signature drink of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.

#2 – Bourbon Slush
The Bourbon Slush is like an ICEE – for adults. The combination of brown liquor, black tea, and citrus juice is sweet and refreshing. However, I must warn you – this one packs a pretty potent punch.
#3 – Beer Punch
Why give your fellow tailgaters Bud Lime-o-Ritas when you can whip up a quick batch of this festive Beer Punch made with fresh fruit.
