We are hosting a party for the Super Bowl. Is there a football-themed drink that we could serve to our guests?
You mean, other than beer? At a Super Bowl party?
While I'd assume most of your guests will have the same reaction (or stick to soft drinks), serving other drinks wouldn't be entirely wrong. There are not any football-themed drinks, no... but at an event like a Super Bowl party, your best bet is probably to mix up a big bowl of punch, set it next to a big tub of chilled beers, and let the guests decide which they'll

Simple, classic cocktails, designed by bartenders who had limited ingredients and hoped to give their customers the best tastes possible (or at least mask the flavor of whatever rotgut booze was available in more austere times.)
