Everyone loves a cold one while watching football’s biggest event of the year, but gulping down cervezas year and after year can get, as we put it last year, “as boring as stale guacamole.” Of course, taking someone’s precious elixir of hops while watching the Super Bowl is a crime, but that doesn’t mean you should settle for less. Last year, we provided some unique “beertails” that made both the ladies and gents say adios to those dusty kegs. This year, we going to continue mixing things up in time for the Super Bowl by serving some thirst-quenching, vodka-infused cocktails that no one will be able to resist. Craving for something tangy, fruity, refreshing, or just quick enough to make for a large crowd? We have them all! Grab los amigos, gather around the TV, watch the Super Bowl, and drink some of the most tempting concoctions that will have you cheering even if your team doesn’t it make it all the way.
