It’s that time of year again!
Football season is here, and you know what that means… tailgating! Although many tailgates here at the UA feature beer bongs and drunken frat boys, sometimes it’s fun to keep things a little bit classier. Here are two fun drink recipes that guarantee a fun and memorable tailgating event.
Red White and Blue Spritzers
These drinks look awesome; however make sure you follow the directions carefully for the perfect layering effect.
Ingredients:
Diet 7-Up or Diet Sprite
Blue Gatorade (Not G2, but regular Gatorade)
Cranberry Juice Cocktail
Note, Substitutions do not work
Directions:
1. Fill glasses with ice.
2. Pour a layer of Cranberry Juice Cocktail first, and then follow by slowly pouring Gatorade over the ice to help keep it from mixing. Top by slowly pouring diet 7-up or sprite on top.
3. Serve!

Blueberry Mojito
Although this drink takes a little more preparation, it is well worth the work. Blueberry mojitos are perfect for hot Arizona days.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
4 oz clear rum
10 fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons sugar
juice of 2 limes
6 oz club soda
ice
Directions:
1. In a food processor or blender, puree blueberries until smooth. Set aside.
2. Add mint leaves and sugar to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler (or the end of a wooden spoon) to muddle the mint and sugar. Add the lime juice, rum and pureed blueberries: shake vigorously.
3. Pour ice and club soda into two tall glasses and then pour in rum mixture. Gently stir. Garnish with a lime wedge, extra blueberries and a sprig of mint.
4. Serve immediately.
