This Super Bowl Sunday, score big with your favorite tequila!
Alright you all, we hope you had your fun with dry January, because it’s time to get serious for the big game! That’s right, we know you are already aware the Super Bowl is one of the most-watched sporting events in the world, drawing in millions of viewers each year. It’s a time for friends and family to come together, eat great food, and enjoy some of the best commercials of the year. But what about the drinks? The Super Bowl is known for the parties and, for many people, that means grabbing a beer and cheering for whichever team they dislike the least, unless of course you’re from Philadelphia or Kansas City, in which case Congrats! But what if we told you that there is another drink that pairs perfectly with the Super Bowl? Tequila! Ok, you knew where we were going with that, but seriously, with the endless options available to you, there’s no reason NOT to have your collection of Señor Rio tequilas ready for the big game, so here are some ideas to help you get in the spirit for Super Bowl Sunday!
Kickoff with some great Blanco ideas!
Whichever team you’re cheering for, you may want to start with a blanco tequila, and yes our Señor Rio blanco. It’s crisp and clean with the lowland agave spice that we’re known for and can add a touch of excitement to any Super Bowl celebration. A classic blanco margarita, made with tequila, fresh lime juice, and a touch of orange liqueur, is a fan-favorite that pairs perfectly with well known Super Bowl snacks like nachos and jalapeño poppers. Another popular option is our Senor Rio spritzer, which is Fresca and our blanco served cold and provides a light and refreshing alternative to beer and is a perfect pairing for lighter fare like veggie trays and fruit platters. If you’re into betting but don’t want to lose any money, you can also try a spicy blanco tequila shot any time you lose the lead or guess the score wrong. Try it with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of chili powder, for a fun and energetic addition to the game. No, you’re not hearing us wrong, this is one of the few days we’re going to permit taking shots of our award winning blanco!
Reposado to the rescue!
Found yourself in a hole after the first few quarters of action? Try and rebound with our reposado, with its smooth yet elegant aged flavor, it offers a range of delicious drink options for the Super Bowl. Just like the coach who needs to find some options after his game plan has gone down the tubes, call an audible with a Paloma. Muddle a slice of orange, lime and grapefruit with our amazing reposado, add ice then top off with grapefruit juice or squirt.You won’t be disappointed. Or if mixing isn’t your thing better yet sip the reposado expression neat with sliced oranges sprinkled with cinnamon.
Pulled off the miracle? Grab yourself that añejo sir or madam.
Thought there was no way you were coming back from that two touchdown hole, and now you’re on top of the world? There’s only one way to celebrate, and that’s with our own champion, the añejo! Now, you’ve already had a few recipe suggestions, and once you buy our tequila we can’t tell you what to do with it, but in our opinion, there’s only one way to celebrate a win with an añejo, and that’s neat or on the rocks with a cigar! The elegant and complex flavors of our añejo, with its notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, pair perfectly with the rich and smoky flavors of a premium cigar. The combination of the two creates a harmonious and sophisticated experience that is, in our opinion, the only true way to celebrate winning the big game! And, one last thing! Before you head out, just remember like we told you all before new years, please celebrate responsibly, make sure you have a ride to get home, and as always, Salud to you and yours!
