*Since I didn’t ever get to a Gators post, I borrowed this delicious-looking drink from the New South Food Company. Credit where credit is due! :)
University of Alabama: The Crimson Cooler
The University of Alabama is located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a place oozing with southern hospitality and plenty of down home cookin’. Coconut rum, raspberry liqueur, and lemon-lime soda make for a refreshing southern favorite. Get the recipe here.
Auburn University: Eye of the Tiger Cocktail
The Eye of the Tiger Cocktail is a sipper that packs a punch {um, hello, three different rums!}, but the tartness of the citrus juices rounds it out for a pleasant and refreshing beverage. Get the recipe here.
University of Tennessee: The Tennessee Rose Cocktail
Tennessee Rose cocktail is just the right amount of sweet and sassy in the hands of any Tennessee girl. The whiskey is a nod to Tennessee’s famous distillery, while the pineapple juice and unique addition of Creme de Cassis {a liqueur with black currant extract} soften it up. Get the recipe here.
University of Kentucky: The Tipsy Wildcat Cocktail
This is a bourbon-based cocktail for your sipping pleasure with a blue color to boot. Get the recipe here.
University of Arkansas: The Woo-Woo Pig Cocktail
The “Woo Woo” Pig is a twist on the classic Woo Woo cocktail, made with raspberry liqueur rather than Peach Schnapps for a little extra sweetness and a deeper red hue to go with Arkansas’ Cardinal Red color. Get the recipe here.
Louisiana State University: The Purple Tiger Dream Cocktail
The deep purple color of this cocktail is made by combining raspberry liqueur, cranberry juice, and blue curacao along with a few other ingredients. Get the recipe.
University of South Carolina: The Garnet Kamikaze Cocktail
The Garnet Kamikaze! Sweet, delicious, and most importantly… Garnet, just like the team colors. Get the recipe here.
University of Georgia: The Georgia Bulldog Cocktail
A sweet mixture of vanilla vodka, peach schnapps, and Coke, which is pretty appropriate since the Coca-Cola headquarters is in Georgia, not to mention the fact that Georgia is famous for its juicy peaches. Get the recipe here.
University of Mississippi {Ole Miss}: The ‘Sippi Sipper Cocktail
Blue curacao and grenadine make for a double trouble vodka cocktail with two stripes of team colors. Get the recipe here.
Florida State University: The MimOsceola
Ease into the day of festivities with these garnet colored MimOsceolas, delicious pomegranate mimosas with just a touch of orange juice & triple sec to balance out the tartness. Let’s pop the bubbly! Get the recipe here.
University of Florida: The Salty Gator Cocktail
Gin and juice are a no brainer, but add sea salt and orange zest and you have the perfect Florida cocktail. Get the recipe here.
