A delicious chocolate drink with an Italian twist!

The drinker’s ultimate chocolatey and coffee-tastic dessert. This is a cocktail that you can really sink your teeth into, with rich flavors blending together to make one perfect mixture of sweet treats! The Irishman starts off as any good party should – disclaimer: it contains alcohol (a lot). It consists mainly of chilled Frangelico®, which has an almost milkshake-like consistency before being mixed into our hot Nutty Espressoini® shots; another type altogether but just as delicious sounding liqueur in creaminess thanks also does its part by adding some extra richness dimensionally speaking on top.

You can get a little bit tipsy while indulging in this Amaretto Hot Chocolate. It has chocolate, vanilla vodka and amaretto mixed together for an extra special treat! Add some whipped cream to top it off like you would on your favorite sundae or just grate some almonds onto the side as well if that’s not enough of anything else goes down.

A must for any winter tailgate party, Mulled Wine is a great way to keep warm and enjoy the game. You’re bringing a burner to the game, you might as well use it for your tailgate cocktail. This drink is made by heating up red wine with spices and fruit, making it perfect for sipping on a cold day. You can find recipes online or in cookbooks, but we like to keep things simple by using orange juice, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Just heat everything up in a pot and let it simmer for a few minutes before serving. And if you want to really get into the spirit of things, add a shot of brandy to each glass!

The Fireball Apple Cider is one of the most refreshing cocktails in existence, trust us. This beautiful drink combines cinnamon whiskey with crisp apple cider and sweet syrup before adding just enough kick from red apple slices that are doused in maraschino cherries to make this concoction look so sexy you won’t even want to chug its deliciousness — although we know our readers will ’cause there’s nothing like starting off an evening on a high note! And, better yet, if you’re equipped with heating mechanisms, warm those bad boys up!

Rum-soaked spiced apples, warm alcoholic cinnamon rolls. This drink is the perfect way to celebrate the fall spirit outside the stadium!

A classic for a reason, the Irish Coffee is perfect for tailgating. It’s strong, it’s hot, and it’ll keep you warm all day long. Plus, it’s easy to make!

Irish coffee is one of the most famous cocktails in America. This delicious drink calls for Irish whiskey, cream cheese frosting (to make it rich), and hazelnut liqueur – but that’s not all! It also has your choice between heavy whipping cream or milk foam on top to give you an extra layer before taking a sip after a steamy swallow-down guilt-free. The classic Nutty Irish Coffee contains both breakfast flavors like black currents with brown sugar syrup mixed into them as well alcohol notes.
