This weekend marks one of the most exciting of the year - football season is here (can you hear the cheering fans?)! Whether you watch college games, the NFL or both, nothing says fall quite like FOOTBALL! And nothing says football quite like tailgating and cocktails. As you kick off the season, show your spirit by matching your drink to your team’s colors or create a signature cocktail inspired by your favorite play. Oh, and don’t forget to spike the wings!  GO TEAM!
