Easter Tailgating

Easter is this upcoming Sunday. Most people will not consider it a tailgating day, but here at Inside Tailgating we view every event as an oppurtunity to throw down. So get your supplies and here are some perfect drinks for the day.

Jelly Bean Sugar

• 1/2 oz Blackberry brandy
• 1/2 oz Absinthe
• 1/2 oz Southern Comfort

Glass: Shot

Garnish: None

Add ingredients to glass in order listed, floating each layer upon the previous one by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon.

Bunny Hug Cocktail

This bunny only poops jelly beans of the black variety, and seriously, how can you resist a drink when Harry Craddox himself states that it should be poured down the drain!
