There is not always a sporting event in your area. You may be miles away from the closest college football team, let alone a pro sports franchise.
But you have your Stowaway2 Hitch Mounted Grill Station , Coolest Cooler , Viba Seat , Tailgate TV Stand , Phloops , and ACL Elite Cornhole Boards all ready to go. (BTW, see Inside Tailgating Giveaway: 6 Great Products + 100 Subscriptions for a way to win those very tailgating tools).
So what do you do? Tailgate, of course.
Others may call it a party or a picnic. Some even could say it a cookout. But you know what it is. It’s a tailgate. Take advantage of your situation and tailgate your butt off.
Here is a recipe, followed by a cocktail that seems to work pretty much any place:
