Now that the teams are set for the Big Game, we thought we'd help with some themed cocktails. Products from the Denver area (Coors/Coors Light, Blue Moon, Breckenridge beer or Breckenridge Bourbon, Great Divide beer) or Seattle area (Chateau Ste. Michelle or Snoqualmie wines) are easily found on our shelves, and certainly make a statement about team loyalty. But let's go one step further and create cocktails.
With Denver playing Seattle in the Big Game, we wanted to offer some cocktail recipes that would be relevant. Denver will be the visitors on February 2nd, so that recipe will be first:
The Bronco
Ingredients
1 part Boulaine or Walker Blue Curacao
2 parts Vodka (I prefer Tito's, but choose what you like)
4 parts Orange soda
Method
Fill glass with ice
Pour in vodka
Pour in Orange soda
Top with Blue Curacao.
Voila! Blue and orange, like that Denver football team.

Maybe this is really a "Hawktail"
Mix into a glass with ice
1 ounce Jim Beam Jacob's Ghost White Whiskey
1/2 ounce Blue Curacao
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Garnish with lime wheel dipped in sugar and espresso grounds.
This cocktail gets you the main color of that Seattle team, with taste of another thing that Seattle is known for.
Please let us know in the comments which team you'll be rooting for in the Big Game!
