THE BIG GAME IS JUST WEEKS AWAY! As in…it’s THE NEXT football game we feast our eyes on! Just a few more days to prepare the menus and get ready to watch Justin Timberlake. You guys know that’s the main reason I’ll be attending parties right? The food, drinks, music, and commercials! All kidding aside I’m actually a huge sports fan. My Chiefs may not have made it to the Super Bowl this year but I’m still planning to party in style with this easy and unique GAME DAY TEQUILA SUNRISE!
I was trying to think of the perfect morning cocktail to start the festivities off on the right foot and this came to me. Beer for the football fans, Tequila because I LOVE IT, and Orange juice and grenadine because they’re delicious. So much to love in this fun twist on a classic!
If you’re tailgating in the morning of a big game, orange juice is key. I typically think of a Tequila Sunrise as a tropical drink, but it doesn’t need to be! The simple flavors are delicious and perfect for any time of year. Because I think beer is a must when cheering for football (and because I wanted Pat to give these a try), I added some limey cervesas and I wasn’t disappointed.
I already knew I loved beer in cocktails from mixing drinks like Grapefruit Beer Sangria and Raspberry Beer-garitas, so I had a feeling beer would be right at home with the orange and cherry. SO DELICIOUS!
You guys might remember my Mulled Wine Margaritas and Sparkling Strawberry Margarita Punch from last month. I’m SO darn excited about my new partnership with Exotico Tequila. It’s made by one of my favorite companies, Luxco, right here in Saint Louis. I’m so proud to be representing this award winning tequila as they’re made with 100% blue agave, has a great price point that can’t be beat for the quality, and look at those amazingly cool bottles.
I used their Blanco Tequila for today’s Game Day Tequila Sunrise and it was absolutely perfect. Exotico Blanco Tequila won GOLD & BLANCO TEQUILA OF THE YEAR in the 2016 New York International Spirits Competition. I’m so proud! Click HERE to find out where to buy.
If you’re waking up early and cheering on your team, this drink is for you. Don’t feel bad for one second…it’s just some orange juice with a splash of fun.
Cheers!
