How to: Throw a Tequila Tailgate Party
Written by: Tom Sullivan
Football season is upon us once again - which means our Sundays are officially booked until
February. For most of us, “booked” means butt planted on the couch, watching seven hours of
commercial free football with Scott Hanson. For the lucky ones, it means a morning of
tailgating, an afternoon of pure bliss, and an evening of riding shotgun while your sober buddy
navigates the gridlocked parking lot. For the unlucky ones, it means checking your fantasy app
every thirty second from that hayride with your girlfriend.
Whether you’re in the parking lot or the living room, it’s important for you and all your rowdy
friends to stay well-fed and watered. If you’re sick of the usual fifteen Bud Lights and a bag of
potato chips, we have just the thing: A how-to on throwing an epic tequila tailgate party.
To drink:
Just like football teams, not all Margaritas are of equal quality. Your mood on Sunday evening
will depend largely on whether you live in Kansas City or Jacksonville. But your mood on
Monday morning will depend on the quality of your beverage the day before.
You might be tempted to throw a bunch of bottom shelf ingredients into a cooler and call it a
day. After all, this is a football Sunday. Your friends show up with 30 racks of Coors on their
shoulders, not 6 packs of Pliny the Elder. Just remember, if you skimp out on ingredients now,
in the morning, everyone at your tailgate is going to wake up feeling like they just got hit by a
300 pound defensive end. Do the right thing.
Our recipe is perfect for tailgating: Instead of a cooler full of uninspired beverages, try
dispenser jugs full of our delicious Nosotros Margarita.
BATCH SKINNY MARGARITA
2qts Nosotros Blanco
1qt Lime Juice
3 cups Water
1 cup Agave
To eat:
One thing we can all agree on: No Football Sunday is complete without wings. This is where
your party truly rises to the next level. Right now, everything’s going smoothly. People are
loving the Margaritas. Robby’s ten team parlay has been busted in one game. Life is good.
But wait... people are getting hungry. The chips and guac are running low. There’s talk of
ordering from Wingstop. But delivery is backed up by two hours...
You step in with the perfect solution: Homemade wings with sauces infused with Nosotros
Tequila. We recommend going 50/50 between our Smoky Mezcal wings, and our Blanco
Lemon Pepper wings. Even the most dedicated soldiers of the buffalo vs barbecue debate
will agree that these wings are absolutely fire.
