It’s always nice to see Pete Wagner, Ambassador to Brown-Forman, in the Mix Studio Bar. It’s tailgating season and 2020 has been a series of bad plays, bad calls, and a lot of pass interference — so to speak. But, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tailgate from home while cheering on your favorite team. In the videos below, Pete teaches you how to make three great drinks to make at home and impress your friends during your next tailgating party. From the spicy “Buffalo Mary” featuring Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire (including Pete’s infusion with smoked jalapeños), to the sweet “Back 9” which is a modified version of an Arnold Palmer featuring Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, to the lower-proof and less sweet “Apple Ginger Fizz” featuring Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Apple, there is something for everyone to have a good time. You can also try one of Jack Daniel’s pre-mixed Country Cocktails if you want to just grab a quick drink without the hassle of measuring and mixing ingredients. Finally, you can’t go wrong with a classic Jack and Coke.
