Fall means football season and that means it’s time for tailgating. There’s no better person to get you ready for a football pre-party than our friend Whiskey Pete Wagner from Brown-Forman. Pete gave host Greg Hansberry and the Mix listeners several new beverage options to try while gearing up for the next game. For those early risers who are not fans of Bloody Marys, you’ll want to try the Finlandia Vodka Cold Brew Cocktail. Not a bourbon fan? The Herradura Cobbler Smash works well to warm you up with a hint of fall falvors. Want something citrusy with a twist? Try the Coopers’ Craft 1-2-Punch. And for something with a refreshing spiciness, try the Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire Quarterback Sneak. All of these cocktails use simple and readily available ingredients. Be the hit of your next pre-game partying and by making these drinks for your next tailgate. Please remember to drink responsibly wherever you’re celebrating this football season.
