5. Good Super Bowl Food Ideas for DRINKS
With attention to adult beverages, do you want successful Super Bowl drinks? You can plan most of these ahead so you can focus on appetizers on game day. Also, if you dare to go beyond beer, here’s a few special thoughts that will enhance your annual Super Bowl parties.
Tip: So, here’s a fast food fact (since I have commercial foods management experience). Food tastes better if the following items are true.
- Firstly, if the beverages aren’t diluted on flavor
- Also, if the carbonated drinks don’t exceed their normal carbonation levels.
So, even simple appetizers and snacks will taste better with richly flavored, cold drinks. Therefore, if possible, make your drinks homemade. Also, for beer, it’s better if from glass bottles instead of cans. That’s because the carbonation is potentially a little lower in glass. Therefore, the beer will taste better.
- Southern Sweet Tea
- Soft drinks (regular, sugar-free, diet)
- V-8 juice
- V-8 Splash (fruity flavors)
- Beer
- Seltzers
- Smoothies (Banana & Orange Smoothie Recipe, Banana & Apple Smoothie Recipe)
- Bloody Mary (Bloody Mary Mix Recipe, Bloody Mary Drink Recipe)
- Margarita (Recipe for Traditional Margarita)
- Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe
- Cranberry Mimosa Recipe
