This twist on a margarita is a great way to celebrate Green Bay’s Super Bowl XLV team. Green Bay’s team colors, green and gold, are represented through pineapple and fresh mint. It’s kinda like a mojito margarita. I wonder how it is with cheddar?

Herradura Mixologist Mark Drew created this variation of a classic Jamaican drink, the Stout punch, to honor the Steelers SuperBowl XLV team. The Steelers colors are represented by stout (for black) and Herradura Reposado tequila (for gold).

This week’s drinks comes to us from the new Food2 series Drinks with Alie & Georgia, a how-to video series featuring out-of-this world concoctions. Their creations include Liquid S’mores, the McNuggetini and, special for this week’s Super Bowl, drinkable guacamole. In “Guac This Way,” Alie and Georgia bring together their favorite Mexican flavors of mezcal, jalapeños, lime juice and avocados in this frosty margarita.

Sangrita is a traditional accompaniment to tequila. While there are many recipes for sangrita, most contain tomato juice, lime juice, chili sauce, pureed onions and salt.

During this cold snap, I’ve found myself attracted to cocktails that remind me of warm weather. The Margarita is a quintessential sunny-day drink. This dark blue variation on that classic is a little sweeter and looks a lot more dramatic. You could use lime instead of lemon or use more lemon if you want it more tart. Photo by Jackson Stakeman.
