As someone who’s hosted their fair share of Super Bowl parties, I’ve learned that the right game day shots can turn a good gathering into an unforgettable celebration. Today, I’m sharing my absolute favorite Super Bowl shot recipes that’ll score big with your guests and add that extra excitement to every touchdown.
Classic Football-Themed Shots
Let’s kick things off with some tried-and-true favorites that I’ve perfected over years of game day celebrations. These shots aren’t just delicious – they’re conversation starters that’ll have your guests asking for the recipes.
The Touchdown
This is my go-to shot that never fails to impress. Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
– 1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps
– Splash of cream
Layer these ingredients in a shot glass, and you’ll get those perfect team colors. The creamy finish reminds me of crossing that goal line for six points!
The Field Goal
When I serve these, they disappear faster than a missed extra point attempt:
– 1/2 oz melon liqueur
– 1/2 oz Irish cream
– Splash of grenadine
The green and white layers create that perfect field goal post look, while the red bottom adds a pop of excitement.
Team-Colored Celebrations
I love creating shots that match team colors – it’s such a fun way to show support for your favorite squad. Here are some of my most popular team-inspired creations:
The Red Zone Rush
Perfect for fans of red-dominant teams:

– Splash of pineapple juice
The tropical twist makes this shot surprisingly refreshing.

When I’m hosting a big group, these shots are my secret weapons for keeping the party energy high:
