Kickoff Cocktails

The Superbowl is a national holiday in our house. Every year on Superbowl Sunday our kids come down with this, uh, weird ailment – we’ll call it Superbowl Fever. It invariably requires them to stay home from school the next day. It doesn’t usually matter who is playing or even what the half time show is. We just love the party and we don’t let it end because of a silly school night obligation to have a bed time.

In fact, the less we care about the teams playing, the better our menu usually is. The year that our Philadelphia Eagles played in the Superbowl, I can’t even remember what we ate. We were way too focused on the game, and what a glorious game it was! But most years, our Superbowl Sunday menu takes on a life of its own. And while the beer is always flowing, these Kickoff Cocktails are a tradition – almost a must-drink, just so you don’t jinx the game.

What’s in these Kickoff Cocktails

These Kickoff Cocktails are a nice balance of sweet and tart, refreshing and cheek-blushing. They don’t have any added sugars beyond what’s naturally occurring in the fruit juice. I’d rather save the calories for all the delicious football food. Four ingredients is all you’ll need:

  • apple cider
  • lime juice
  • pomegranate juice
  • spiced rum

How to make these cocktails

I’m giving you the measurements in parts instead of shots or ounces. This way, you can make whatever size batches you want, from single cocktails to big pitchers. I almost always make a big batch and put it in a punch bowl for people to help themslves.

Because these Kickoff Cocktails have no added sure, some people may find them a bit tart. If they are too tart for your palate, go easy on the lime juice.

I hope you’ll love these Kickoff Cocktails enough to make them part of your Superbowl Sunday tradition too. Enjoy!
