Tailgate Cocktail Recipes: 4 Tips for HBCU Tailgating Prep

What’s a tailgate without drinks?

You can do better than beer in red plastic cups – make a batch of Sideline Sangria (see details below) ahead of time and serve it in a cute drink dispenser. At home, hollow out apples and oranges to serve the cocktail in.

For an even easier way to drink something delicious, bring along new Skinnygirl® Watermelon Lime Margarita. Just pour over ice and serve!

Bring the glam with you.

Instead of a plastic cooler, pack a large silver ice bucket to keep water and ready to serve cocktails chilled.

Roll cutlery (in your team’s colors, of course) in matching napkins and tie with a brown ribbon to match the game day ball.

Ditch the Same Ol’ Chips

Everyone always brings chips, but mix things up from the boring, traditional salsa with Bethenny Frankel’s minty mango salsa recipe (see details below).

Decorate your Space!

Skip the cheesy plastic tablecloth and turn green craft paper into a mini football field by adding white yard lines with numbers.
