Savage Drink Recipes for Big Game Sunday

Image
It's that time of year again when the NFL season comes to a close with a very important big game on a very special Sunday. Regardless of whether your team made it to the end or not, it's still a great night to get together with friends and have a party. Make it a night to remember by adding a little "savage" to that party with Savage Scorpions !  The drink recipes below are all great cocktails to serve to a thirsty crowd of football fans. Just add one of our creative cocktail garnishes to the ingredients list to create drinks that will really impress your guests.   Punches are perfect because you can mix up a big batch all at once and enjoy the game instead of playing bartender all night. Since everyone will most likely be serving themselves, set out a few Savage Scorpions next to the lime wedges for garnish. That way they can just pop a scorpion into their cup before pouring the punch!    Gina's Super Bowl Punch from FoodNetwork.com    1...

Here are three cocktail recipes that we think you might enjoy.  Carolina Peach Sangria from MyRecipes.com This delicious peach sangria also incorporates fresh raspberries into the recipe.
