Football season is here! College started last weekend, and it was on all day at our house. This week is professional. Who is your favorite team? We are split here. I was born in Minnesota, and my Dad is a big Vikings fan. So even after we moved to Wisconsin, I still held strong. My husband on the other hand, was born and raised in Wisconsin, so he is a Packers fan. And of course, a son has to side with his dad, so my 7 year old is a Packers fan. The only thing we can agree on is college – we are all Badger fans!
Football and tailgating go hand in hand. Today the #SundaySupper team is here to help. We have an amazing line up of everything you need for one killer tailgate before a game. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever officially tailgated before. I am more of a, have all your friends over to your house, watch the game on tv kind of a girl. But that needs tons of snacks too, so we are all good today!
One thing that every football game needs is a drink. The guys can have their beer, but sometimes I like a good fruity drink. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good beer as much as the next guy, but something new is always good. This is super simple to put together – just lemonade, Sprite, and Tropical Punch Vodka. You can play with the ratios to get what you like. The Tropical Punch Vodka has lots of pineapple flavor that works great with the tart lemonade.

Oooh, tropical punch vodka?!?! I have never seen that before, but I love the combo of it with lemonade – sounds great!

We love lemonade in our household (it’s almost always in our fridge) but I think we’d love it even more with the tropical punch vodka! This sounds like the perfect refreshing boozy drink to guzzle (er, I mean sip) in front of the t.v. to wash down all the other fabulous recipes.

I didn’t know you were from MN?!! ME TOO! I grew up there (left in the year 1997) but it’s my homeland.
I didn’t even know Tropical Punch Vodka existed and now I want it!

Jen @JuanitasCocina says
I need to find that Vodka! YUM!

This would have been a perfect addition to my BBQ today. Oh well now I know for next time. 🙂

Erin…this looks so good! I’m more of a fruity cocktail girl than a beer drinker. And isn’t it amazing what flavors vodka comes in these days? I’m also a huge baseball fan over football. But you can be sure I will be sipping this during the World Series! ;- }
