Super Bowl Cocktails

Right, here’s our game plan. We’re going to have all our favorite people over on Super Bowl Sunday. We’re going to make some kick ass appetizers. And we’re absolutely going to be serving cocktails! We might even watch some of the game, too, who knows?!
I find that the best cocktails for Super Bowl Sunday are easy batched punches, classics with a twist, beer-based, or basically just loaded with tequila. Bonus points if your Super Bowl cocktail is basically a snack — I’m looking at you, Bloody Mary. This roundup has a ton of Super Bowl cocktails to please a crowd, so pick your favorites below, mix up a batch, and settle in for kick-off.
Hoping your Super Bowl Sunday goes your way. Cheers!
1) Modelo Tequila Sunrise
This groovy twist on the classic Tequila Sunrise is made totally far out with Modelo and lime juice alongside tequila, orange juice, and grenadine. Beer + tequila = the perfect Super Bowl cocktail.
What You’ll Need
- Tequila or Mezcal
- Orange Juice and Lime Juice
- Modelo
- Grenadine
2) Mezcalita
Here’s a fun, juicy twist on the classic margarita, but is a classic cocktail in its own right. Inspired by my recent trip to Mexico City!
What You’ll Need
- Mezcal
- Orange Juice
- Orange Liqueur
- Key Lime Juice
3) Beergaritas
Make a six-pack of beer margaritas and serve them right in the bottle. You never have to choose between the two again. You’re welcome.
What You’ll Need
- Tequila blanco
- Lime juice
- Agave syrup
- Cointreau (or any orange liqueur)
- Mexican beer (Modelo, Pacifico, or Corona)
4) Bacon Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary is already a snack you can have for breakfast, so why not infuse our vodka with bacon fat? Sounds like the logical next step to me.
What You’ll Need
- Bacon fat washed vodka (make yourself!)
- San Marzano tomatoes
- Lemon and lime juice
- Worcestershire sauce and horseradish
- Hot sauce
- Pickle and olive brine
5) Pickle Shots
For all you pickle-loving picklebackers out there who might get a little rowdy on Super Bowl Sunday, I’m giving you my version of a Pickle Shot, spicy margarita style. But make it a jello shot. And serve it in a pickle. Obviously.
What You’ll Need
- Tequila blanco
- Pickles and pickle brine
- Lime juice
- Agave syrup
- Jalapeno slices
- Gelatin
6) Rosita
If you prefer tequila over gin and like your drinks strong, try this bittersweet riff on the classic Negroni. It’s a little more booze-forward so hopefully you have some good Super Bowl snacks.
What You’ll Need
- Tequila
- Campari
- Sweet Vermouth
- Dry Vermouth
- Angostura Bitters

- Hot sauce
- Worcestershire and horseradish
