Tailgate Recipes for Your Football Season

The best time of the year is upon is – football is back! With college ball kicking off last night, and the NFL season just a week away, it is time to get ready for an awesome fall full of football – which of course includes some epic tailgating.

No matter what team you follow, there’s nothing that beats a crisp autumn day in the parking lot chowing down on some awesome food and sipping your favorite drinks with your friends, in anticipation of your team’s victory.

But let’s be honest – tailgates are no fun with wings from your grocery store and a 30-rack of Keystone Light. Instead of being like every other frat bro on the block, you should try doing things the right way!

In keeping with that sentiment, here are some awesome new drink and food recipes from our friends at Crown Royal, George Dickel, and Captain Morgan.

Happy tailgating!
