The NFL is playing its annual London game on Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars “host” the Indianapolis Colts in a game that will air at 9:30 a.m. We’re not sure what the Londoners know about American football tailgating culture but we do know they know their gin and tonics.

In honor of the No. 3 Louisville Cardinals and their eye-popping 63-20 win over formerly-No. 2 Florida State, Inside Tailgating brings you Kentucky’s finest for it’s Spirit Thursday.
