There are still plenty of Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays left before the Super Bowl to cheer on your favorite football team – or pick a new one to root for! When hosting a watch party, you need to prepare for all the types of football fans out there. From die-hard devotees to Sunday Funday socializers, not all fans are created equal, so we’re sharing our list of top cocktails for every type of game day guest.
The super fan: paloma
Perfect for the fan who knows every player, position and stat about their beloved team, the paloma is a tried and true cocktail – no-frills and loyal to a fault. You always know you’re going to get the same refreshing taste no matter who makes it.
The bandwagon fan: mojito
A mojito cocktail is the perfect go-to for those who find themselves a bit indecisive. For the fan who switches their loyalty to a team every week, this has all the elements of a game winning drink – sweet, sour, fizzy and fresh.
The “coach” fan: mule
Mule cocktails, made with ginger beer, indicate a spicy personality. This fan will spend all four quarters calling plays, critiquing drives and slandering the front office. The only thing they're missing is a clipboard and a headset.
The “hustler” fan: spicy margarita
A margarita with a touch of heat can turn any watch party up in an instant. Like a spicy marg, this fan always brings a bit of sass and spice wherever they go, challenging the most gullible in the room to a challenge they know they can’t lose.
The ‘yay, go sports’ fan: gin & tonic
For the fan who is just there for the snacks and vibes, a G+T keeps things simple and pleasant.
