Who doesn't love a margarita for Game Day?

Al Pastor Margarita
Tequila Corralejo

When it comes to Super Bowl cocktails, you’ll often find fun and colorful recipes to add a bit of pizazz to your day — though a theme you might not necessarily consider is Mexican-inspired margaritas, making use of tequila. But these recipes from Tequila Corralejo have the colorful look and popular flavors to make them idea sippers for a Game Day party.

There’s the Malbec Margarita in Kansas City’s red, or the Al Pastor Margarita in bright green for Philadelphia Eagles fans. And if you’re on the fence, then there’s a simple but delicious Mexican Mule for anybody to enjoy.

Today is Mardi Gras, the yearly New Orleans tradition that's a great excuse to celebrate and throw a fun party and mix up some special celebratory drinks, no matter where you live. And as one of the biggest markers of Mardi Gras celebrations are bright and joyful colors, like the bright purple Mardi Gras cocktail we shared previously, you should be prepared to get colorful with your creations.  But purple isn't the only option for fun and colorful carnival drinks, as we've also got two more rum cocktails for you to try.

These cocktails use rum straight from Louisiana, from the brand Oxbow Rum Distillery, including a twist on the classic daiquiri which uses colorful sprinkles for decoration and a banana-infused take on the Manhattan, inspired by New Orleans' beloved Bananas Foster dessert.

Frozen Moscow Mule cocktail

The Moscow Mule is one of those drinks that's such a classic it's easy to overlook. But it's a classic for a reason -- it's crisp, delicious, and the traditional copper mug it's served in is fun and distinctive. It's a drink that's worth making at home and focusing on the details to get it right -- especially as today is National Moscow Mule Day.

If you fancy expanding your Moscow Mule horizons, then we have two fruity variations for you to try. The first comes from Bridget Albert, Senior Director of External Communications & Host of the Served Up Podcast at Southern Glazer's, and makes use of zingy pineapple. The second uses Juliette Liqueur for a peachy twist.
