6 Game-Changing Cocktails for Tailgating

Tailgating is almost as important as the game itself. And if you’re going to go all out prepping an impressive feast, don’t settle for anything less than a winning cocktail to drink. Get in the team spirit(s) with six drinks that pair perfectly with your go-to game-day snacks.

For Chicken Wings: Silver Shandy
Wings and beer are synonymous with tailgating. By adding Citrónge Orange Liqueur and PATRÓN Silver to your favorite lager, this tradition gets a whole lot tastier.

For Guacamole: Tommy’s Margarita 
A combo of PATRÓN Reposado and light citrus flavors makes this signature margarita a crowd favorite for a reason. Pair it with your favorite guacamole, and you may have to remind yourself not to miss kickoff.  

For Meatballs: Jalisco Mule
The expression “these go down like water” could very well have been invented for the Mule. Serve them with “you can’t eat just one” meatballs, and you have a championship combo on your hands. 

For Nachos: Tequila Sunrise 
A platter of nachos is to a tailgate what an end zone dance is to a touchdown. You almost have to pair a cheese-drenched platter of them with the most classic tequila cocktail in the game. Want to take it to overtime? Try the drink in frozen pop form. 

For Sandwiches: Paloma 
Club, Italian, Cuban: No matter which style of sandwich is your MVP, the combo of PATRÓN Silver, grapefruit and lime will be a refreshing break from each meaty bite. 

For Onion Dip: Watermelon Patio Punch 
The savory flavors of onion dip require something thirst-quenching with a hint of sweetness. Look no further than this easy-to-make punch, which can be served inside a watermelon. Touchdown!
