Ditch the beer for these Super Bowl cocktails
Colin Joliat While many ad agencies are busy creating the most tenuous ties between their brands and the Super Bowl, I couldn’t care less. Good cocktails are good cocktails, and that’s all that matters.
I’ve compiled a few of my favorites from all of the various emails I’ve gotten and now put them in your hands. My goal was to pick combinations that you may not have tried before. Basic ingredients, but interesting mixes. I don’t want you to have to show up at your buddy’s party with 5 different bottles and a syrup in hand. Drink what sounds good, not based on which team you support because none of these distillers is located in New York or New England.
Crown Royal Press
1.5 oz. Crown Royal Deluxe
2 squeezed lemon wedges
3 dash(es) bitters
1 splash(es) lemon-lime soda
1 lemon wedge
Serve on the rocks and top with lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a lemon and serve.
Basil Hayden’s End Zone
12 ounces Basil Hayden’s® Bourbon
3 light beers
1 can Frozen Lemonade concentrate
12 Lemon Wedges
Mix all ingredients in a pitcher. Pour into a highball glass over ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Don’t be fooled by my condensed image, that’s definitely a highball glass.
Perfect time to check out yesterday’s Beergarita recipe.
Santo Libre (Suck it Drew Brees. Go Lions!)
1.5 oz. Brugal Añejo Rum
A squeeze of fresh lime juice
Lemon-Lime soda
Pour Brugal Añejo Rum over ice in a tall glass. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Fill with lemon lime soda. Stir and enjoy.
Beantown Bulleit
1 1/3 oz Bulleit Bourbon
Lemon wedge
Tonic
Serve over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a generous wedge of lemon.
GMEN and Ginger
1.5 oz Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum
6 oz. ginger ale
Splash of amaretto
Add Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum and cola in ice-filled highball glass. Top with a splash of Amaretto. Again, that’s a highball glass even though it doesn’t look like it. I’m all about uniformity here.
