Yellow Hammer Slammer
Alabama fans know all about the Yellow Hammer Slammer, the iconic drink from Gallette’s in Tuscaloosa. This cocktail has become a staple for ‘Bama fans, and while the original recipe is a well-kept secret, you can try this spot-on copycat version. Stick with high-quality ingredients like Villa Massa Amaretto, Stormy Vodka, and Ten To One White Rum for a true game day classic.

Gatorade Margarita
For Florida Gators fans, the Gatorade Margarita is the perfect blend of fun and flavor. This cocktail calls for actual Gatorade (the blue one, of course), mixed with frozen limeade concentrate. It’s easy to make and perfect for tailgating. Just be sure to use a top-notch tequila like Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia Platino to keep it smooth.

Boozy Wolverine
Michigan fans, this one’s for you. The Boozy Wolverine cocktail is a nod to both the team and the beloved peanut butter and chocolate treat. The original recipe shines with a robust bourbon like the SIP Award-winning Remus Repeal Reserve Series IV, but for a sweeter twist, you can swap in Bailey’s. Either way, it’s a winner.
