Tailgating season is officially upon us, which means it’s time to fire up the grill and mix up some drinks to keep your pre-gaming crowd pleased. While the excitement of the big game is more than enough to get fans going, nothing keeps them coming back more than a first-string food spread… and a well-made cocktail, of course!
Whether you prefer to treat your guests to a batched cocktail with ‘The First-Rounder’ or put your bartending skills to the test with the ‘Playoff Punch’, Hornitos Tequila has you set up for the win.
Cheers!
