We love an ice-cold beer as much as anyone else but after an entire football season of them, we’ll admit we’re ready for something different. That’s why we like to mix it up come Super Bowl Sunday. An event that’s famous for its crowd-pleasing snacks and fan-favorite desserts, we think the big game deserves extra-special drinks, too. You don’t need to be a pro mixologist to whip up something delicious either. As long as you have a few basics on hand you can make beer cocktails, big-batch drinks—or use any liquor to create a winning sip. Looking for a few drink recipes to keep in your back pocket? You’ll love these, starting with this fun take on margaritas. It uses blue Gatorade (or any sports drink, really) for sweetness—and gets plenty of citrusy flavor from frozen limeade concentrate. Perfect for cheering your team on to victory!

Sunny Anderson’s Beer Punch blends strawberries, blueberries, grenadine and lime juice with crisp beer for a fruity, refreshing twist. It’s a simple yet crowd-pleasing drink perfect for parties or game day.

This boozy twist on a classic float blends vanilla ice cream with hard root beer, topped with whipped cream, malted milk balls and caramel for a nostalgic yet grown-up treat. Perfect as a dessert cocktail with a playful kick.

Sip your team spirit(s): These custom boozy drink pouches are color coded for the perfect tailgate.

Can you handle the heat in these spicy jelly shots? Hollowed out, jalapenos become edible shot glasses for jiggly tequila-lime gelatin. Since some jalapenos are spicier than others, you won't know how much burn you have to endure until you bite into one!

Mix together your base, then serve buffet-style with either vodka or tequila (or both!) and all kinds of garnishes, from celery sticks and cucumber spears to poached shrimp and beef jerky. This recipe is sure to score points with everyone at your bash.

Looking for a twist on the classic, lemon-y shandy? This version still brings citrus to the party with orange juice — but really takes things to the next level with a bit of spicy ginger beer.

Improve your hosting game on Super Bowl Sunday with some sour power. This unlikely pairing is perfect alongside all sorts of football eats, from chicken wings to chili.

Bourbon and lemonade make a great pair —so it only makes sense that we'd team them up for an easy cocktail on Game Day!
