As a die-hard football fan and cocktail enthusiast, I’ve spent countless game days perfecting the art of NFL-inspired drinks. When Smirnoff partnered with the NFL, it opened up a whole new playbook of delicious cocktail possibilities. Today, I’ll share my absolute favorite Smirnoff NFL drinks that’ll score big points at your next game day party.
Team-Inspired Smirnoff Cocktails That’ll Win the Crowd
I’ve discovered that the best football cocktails combine team colors, local flavors, and just the right amount of team spirit. Here are my top picks that’ll have your guests cheering for more.
The Patriot Power Punch
This New England-inspired cocktail captures the dynasty’s winning spirit with its bold red and blue layers. I mix Smirnoff No. 21 vodka with cranberry juice for the red base, then carefully layer blue curaçao on top. It’s garnished with a silver sugar rim that sparkles like championship rings. The taste? Pure victory in a glass!
Green Bay Glacier
When I’m watching the Packers play, this green and gold masterpiece is my go-to. I combine Smirnoff Green Apple vodka with a splash of ginger ale and add a touch of edible gold shimmer. The result is a drink that’s as iconic as Lambeau Field itself.
The Steel City Sipper
For Steelers fans, I’ve created this black and gold beauty using Smirnoff Vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur, and a golden honey drizzle. It’s strong and bold, just like Pittsburgh’s defense!
