How about some Beer drinks? I certainly don’t post enough, so the folks at Tecate thought they would send us a few fun things to do with your beer. All of these concoctions are made with Tacate Light (Duh, they sent me the recipes), which has just recently reached our shores. They all make me feel that summer MUST be around the corner, and that can’t be bad.
Tecate Mojito
To update this favorite drink, muddle together six sprigs of fresh mint, 4 tsp. of sugar syrup and 2 tsp. of lime juice in the bottom of a tall, frosted glass. Add 2 Tbl. of light rum (optional) and stir. Pour 12 oz. of chilled Tecate Light into the glass and enjoy!
Nueva Cuba
Liberate yourself from the traditional rum-and-coke with this frosty concoction. Pour 6 oz. of Coca-Cola into the bottom of a cold glass, followed by 6 oz. of Tecate Light. Squeeze a lime slice into the mix and drink up!
Bloody Bull Lager
A new take on the Bloody Mary, this savory mix features the expected ingredients and more! Mix 2 tsp. of lime juice, ½ cup of spicy tomato juice and 2 Tbl. of vodka (optional) in a glass. Pour 12oz. of ice-cold Tecate Light and stir with a crisp celery stalk.
Citrus Explosion
For a quick burst of citrus, pour 6 oz of citrus soda and 6 oz of Tecate Light into the bottom of the glass. Stir well, and enjoy!
To get us in the mood, the nice folks over at Absolut Vodka set us some tasty new cocktails tailored for the game.
First, the Super Bowl Buster XLII a tall, cool mix of Absolut Mandarin, Lemon Juice, Sugar and Soda. Perfect for the Arizona heat.
For you Giants fans, you’ll want to mix up a batch of Jolly Red Giants, a combination of Absolut Ruby Red, maraschino cherry liqueur, pomegranate and lemon juices over ice.
For the New England Patriot Fan and those rooting for a perfect season, we present the ‘Pear’fect Season. This one is a bit more work, but muddling the blueberries is well worth the effort in flavor payback.
I was already to sit down and write my own drinking game for the Super Bowl, but I ran across this on le basketbawl an NBA blog of all things, but this guy nailed it. So why recreate the wheel? I got drinking to do!
Here ’s my favorites.
Chug your beer ( or take a shot ) every time:
- You see Peyton Manning in a commercial. Good Luck!
- The camera finds its way onto the Manning Family. I doubt you’ll make it through the first half with this one!
- An announcer makes reference to Gisele Bundchen!
- Randy Moss is noted as now being a hard worker or mature.
- Bill Parcells is brought up.
- You hear a player is giving it “110%”!
- You hear the word “Dynasty.”
- The Miami Dolphins or Don Shula or champagne are mentioned.
- “American Idol” is mentioned.
- Vince Lombardi’s name is brought up.
and one of my own:
Joe Buck forgets that Eli Manning isn’t Payton and calls him Payton.
The big game is coming up and as always, that entails a great day of football, food and fun. Oh yeah, and that means cocktails as well. We have a bunch of new football related cocktails to help you get through the half time show.
Enjoy!

It’s all here, Drinks, Appetizers and Main Dishes to get you through the pre-game, game and post-game fun.

Lemon twist for garnish
Just before serving, pour Maker’s Mark over ice cubes in old-fashioned glass, add lemon twist. (With liquor, some people may request a dash of water.) Enjoy!
Maker’s Mark Manhattan
Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker 3/4 full with ice. Add Maker’s Mark, a good quality sweet vermouth, and maraschino cherry juice. Shake or stir for about 30 seconds. Strain into chilled Manhattan glass. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry (served up, no ice).
If you need a New Years resolution, we recommend vowing to use fresh juices in our cocktails whenever possible. This means buying fresh lemons, limes and other citrus and hand squeezing the fruit for every libation. Although these is some elbow grease required, you guests and your taste buds will thank you.
Of course, if you don’t have such resolve, most supermarkets these days carry a dizzying variety of fresh juice. So go crazy and experiment! Blueberry, kiwi, whatever.
The June-go Citrus Splash
