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.
