5 Game Winning Super Bowl Beer Cocktails.



That's right!  Super Bowl!  Ready or not it's THIS Sunday!


Are you ready for some foooootballllll?!?!


You will be after you check out these 6 game winning beer cocktails I have for you.


For me when I think of sports in general......I think of beer.  Trust me, if I could sit down and crack open a nice cold IPA, I will be a happy camper for sure.


But.......sometimes I like to kick it up a notch and what better time to do that then Super Bowl Sunday?


So get ready to kick up your beer drinking this Sunday and classify it as a beer cocktail.  Here are my 5 delicious cocktails for you:





Combining spiced honey tequila with beer is a alternative way to enjoy your Mexican lager.






Why not celebrate game day with a 
champagne and beer cocktail?  

I can't think of one reason.







Think Moscow Mule, but with a tequila twist!





Half margarita, half beer.  What's not to love!






Kick up your beer drinking experience by 
adding some extra heat and flavor!






Light and refreshing vodka and ginger beer cocktail.




Which ever cocktail you choose, and trust me I'm not judging you if you choose them all, I hope you enjoy the Super Bowl, or at least the Half Time Show!

Black Velvet

Day 353



Black Velvet
3 shots out of 5




Finally!  Finally I can say, "Tomorrow is the Super Bowl!!".  

Oh we have been waiting 18 years for this game.  

We are all super excited to watch it tomorrow.  

I found this recipe for Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips (the blog recipesquickeasy that I found this recipe on has been removed 11/8/16) through a pin on Pinterest today and decided that I am going to be making them for the game tomorrow (super excited about that too!!).


I gave tonight's cocktail 3 shots out of 5.  

I had found this cocktail by following links and ended up on Liquor.com where, ahem, I am a contributor!  

Once I made this cocktail, photographed it and took my first few sips, my husband came into the kitchen and said, "Oh you used the Stout Guinness".  

Apparently (which I didn't realize) the one in the bottle is the stout (which I've never had) and the one in the can is the draught (which I've had).  

I didn't realize that there were different ones.  

Now knowing this, I will assume that if I had used the draught Guinness this cocktail would have tasted quite a bit better.  

The stout is more carbonated where the draught is smoother and doesn't really taste carbonated at all.  

If you do make this cocktail, I recommend using the draught and using a champagne that you like, one that isn't terribly sweet.



Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is the recipe for a Black Velvet:

  • Guinness draught beer
  • Champagne

In a tall beer glass, fill half way with Guinness.  Then over the back of a spoon fill the last half of your glass with champagne.



Here's to another beer cocktail.  They are fun and I do enjoy them for a change.

Cheers!!  Go Niners!!!!  And yes I have had the "Black Velvet" song in my head ever since I decided to make this cocktail.
