What We're Loving: Tailgate Cocktails

Unless you work to make your tailgate upscale, there really isn't much that is classy about your average tailgate. After all, you're sitting in a lot in a lawn chair waiting to scream your guts out at both players and referees alike. Don't get us wrong — we love tailgating in all of its glory, but sometimes you need a little more than the kick of the keg.

Enter the Miami Cocktail Company, the self-proclaimed world's first zero-sugar and zero-carb, ready-to-serve cocktail line. Their current selection includes Old Time Sweet Tea, Original Margarita, and Piña Colada, with the promise of Mojito, Pink Lemonade, and Passion Fruit Caipirinha drinks soon to follow.

So how exactly does this apply to your tailgate? Swap out the beer for a ready-made Miami Cocktail or mix-up your own football-themed drink with one of these recipes from SKYY Vodka, Tequila Avión, and Midori Melon Liqueur. Tailgating doesn't have to be all beer and brats, so try making these cocktails for an experience you won't forget!
