Fall is upon us, and you know what that means… seasonal flavored everything—and football. The only thing I love more than pumpkin spiced anything is game day. If beer is not your go-to drink, look no further, here is the perfect list of seasonal tailgate drinks.
Knowing how important it is to have something tasty that’s not too difficult or time consuming to make, all of these recipes are easy enough that you can mix them up in a pitcher beforehand and take them with you to your favorite tailgate.
1. Apple Cider Bellini
Bellinis are a classic and always a fan favorite, but apple cider bellinis are even better. Apple cider, apple vodka, and Prosecco or champagne is all you need to create a twist on a classic brunch beverage.
