Auburn Lemonade

If you’re cheering for Auburn, this spiked lemonade is a must-try. Infused with vodka and blueberries, this cocktail not only tastes refreshing but also sports the Tigers’ signature purple. For the best flavor, go for the SIP Award-winning Tom of Finland Organic Vodka. It’s a drink that screams school pride with every sip.

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.
