31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (2024)

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (1)

A Super Bowl party without a fridge or cooler full of your favorite beer is a no-brainer, but why stop there? It's way overdue you liven up your tailgate party with all kinds of drink options. So we rounded up these 31 game day drink recipes have something for everyone, from wine lovers to shot takers to teetotalers who want a mocktail that's more on the zero proof side. Best of all, many only require a few ingredients and can be made ahead of time or in big batches, so they’re great for a crowd and will leave you free to focus on the game (or let’s be honest, the halftime show 😉).

Don’t worry, we haven’t completely forgotten the beer lovers! We’re fans of the ease of a craft brew (or a PBR, no shade), but really love the wow factor of a beer co*cktail. Adding a few simple ingredients can take your favorites from good to great. Check out our beermosas, our Michelada, or our shandy punch to see what we mean.

As for co*cktails, we think that for game day, the simpler, the better. Take a look at our ranch water, our , our pink señoritas, or our champagne margaritas for options that come together quickly and can easily be batched so you can spend more time drinking and watching the game than bartending.

Speaking of batching, we’ve also included a number of recipes that are already upsized for you, meaning all you’ve got to do is unearth your punch bowl and you’ll be good to go. Try our brunch punch (good for those on the West Coast especially), our touchdown punch, or our Moscow mule punch. Hot tip: These recipes are also great for bringing to a game-watching party at someone else’s house.

There’s myriad reasons to not be drinking, whether you and your guests are just abstaining for now or long-term, so we’ve also included a number of mocktails on this list too. Our grapefruit-rosermary mocktail spritz, our blackberry virgin mojito, and whipped lemonade will all be welcome amongst the rest of your boozy spread. Looking for something that crosses the line between drink and dessert? We’re big fans of our espresso mocha crunch mocktail; it's a true BOGO deal.

Best Bloody Mary

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (3)

If you’ve only ever had a Bloody Mary made from a store-bought mix, you’re in for a treat. Ever the popular brunch co*cktail, a good homemade recipe is a must-have, whether you’re drinking them on Sunday mornings, as a hangover cure, or on airplanes (it’s a thing—check the study!).

Touchdown Punch

Champagne Margaritas

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (5)

We love a cold, refreshing margarita to cool off in the summer months, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying these classic drinks year round. For this recipe, we wanted to make a marg worthy of toasting when your team scores that game-winning touchdown, so we added Champagne to our classic margarita for a festive, bubbly touch perfect for any Super Bowl party.

Football Jell-O Shots

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (6)

No matter how you celebrate this Sunday, your watch party won’t be complete without these adorable, football-shaped rum and co*ke Jell-O shots. To amp up the co*ke flavor and balance the bitter lime, these shots are sweetened with homemade Coca-Cola syrup that’s made by simply boiling down some of the fizzy beverage to concentrate the flavor. Woah!

Get the Football Jell-O Shots recipe.

5

Ranch Water

A sort of effervescent, less-sweet version of a margarita, only 3 ingredients are required for Ranch Water: tequila, lime juice, and seltzer. (Preferably Topo Chico; some claim it’s not a real Ranch Water without it!) We like adding a splash of orange liqueur like Cointreau for a little sweetness and citrus flavor too.

Get the Ranch Water recipe.

6

Grapefruit-Rosemary Mocktail Spritz

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (8)

Spritzes are delicious year-round and should be for everyone! This easy-to-make, booze-free co*cktail hits all the marks. It’s tart, herby, slightly sweet, a little smokey, and definitely an adult mocktail that isn’t too heavy on the fruit juice or sweetener.

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (9)

Michelada

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (10)

If you've never had a Michelada, you're in for a treat. The addition of hot sauce and lime juice add a spicy/sour kick that takes your average light beer from good to great. Thanks to our secret ingredient (soy sauce!), there's also a hint of umami flavor that keeps you coming back for more.

Shandy Punch

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (12)

Think of this as the boozy version of an Arnold Palmer—1/2 beer, 1/2 lemonade. We jazzed it up for game day with some fresh fruit and ginger beer too.

Get the Shandy Punch recipe.

11

Espresso Mocha Crunch Mocktail

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (13)

Everyone is espresso martini-crazed these days, but you don’t need to drink alcohol to enjoy this decadent trend! Our espresso mocktail packs a punch with an espresso base, creamy top, and tons of Oreo crunch with none of the alcohol.

Moscow Mule Punch

Gold Rush co*cktail

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (15)

Fans of the whiskey sour to the front, please! The Gold Rush co*cktail is the whiskey drink you’re already in love with, with just a few changes. It calls for honey instead of simple syrup, and doesn't call for any egg whites (so it's even easier to whip up).

Get the Gold Rush co*cktail recipe.

14

Rum & co*ke

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (16)

This co*cktail really is as simple as combining the two titular ingredients, but if you'd like to be slightly more meticulous, you can measure the two out! We think our ratio (5 parts co*ke to 2 parts rum) creates a perfect balance of boozy and sweet, but for a stronger co*cktail, slowly adjust your pour until you find your sweet spot.

Spiked Seltzer Slushies

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (17)

If you thought a can of White Claw was perfect on its own, you haven't given it a whirl in your blender. This recipe (if you can even call it that!) can be easily customized based on what flavors and fruits you prefer.

Long Island Iced Tea

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (18)

Reminiscent of a lemony sweet tea, it’s truly a mystery how this co*cktail manages to hold 5 (yes, 5!) alcohols. Gin, white rum, blanco tequila, vodka, and triple sec all combine in this drink—with two additional staple ingredients—to create a surprisingly sweet and refreshing co*cktail.

Get the Long Island Iced Tea recipe.

Whipped Lemonade

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (19)

Blending your favorite lemonade with some sweetened condensed milk turns it into a creamy frozen drink that's extra delicious: sweet and tart and as refreshing as can be. We'll be skipping milkshakes for these this Super Bowl Sunday!

Get the Whipped Lemonade recipe.

18

Blackberry Virgin Mojito

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (20)

This non-alcoholic mojito is still every bit as refreshing with an easy mint simple syrup and fresh blackberries. It makes extra syrup, so you can use it in cold brew or lemonade too!

Taco Bloody Marys

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (21)

A Bloody Mary is only as good as its garnish, so we topped these off with our favorite tacos. We used a toaster to make our own mini tacos shells, and it's one of our favorite hacks EVER.

Get the Taco Bloody Marys recipe.

Dirty Shirley

31 Crowd-Friendly Drinks To Make For Your Super Bowl Party (22)

Bright and colorful, sweet with just a hint of booze, the Dirty Shirley Temple is quickly gaining popularity with co*cktail drinkers. And who can blame them? It’s a boozy version of that nostalgic beverage so many of us grew up with—and let’s be honest, what too-sweet mocktail can’t be improved with a shot of vodka?

Get the Dirty Shirley recipe.
