Super Bowl Baby! It is time for the biggest celebration of the greatest sport in the world. This year we are celebrating the presentation of the Lombardi Trophy in the frigid northwest. While most thin beer and football is a marriage made in heaven, we experienced tailgaters and fans know better. Cold beers make for cold hands.
Do yourself a favor and opt for a bit of bourbon this Super Bowl Sunday. Why bourbon? First off it tastes great. The big reason is with a nice cocktail to sip on you won’t miss half the game running back and forth to the restroom to rid yourself or all of that excess fluid.
We got these great recipes from our friends at Jim Beam. Some of these delicious libations were created by Bobby “G.” Gleason, Beam’s Master Mixologist. I already have the ingredients for The XLVIII and The End Zone Celebration ready to roll. I would suggest you take a look are the recipes below and head out to the store for some Jim Beam to enjoy with The Greatest Show on Turf.
