Super Cocktails

Everyone has their favorite Super Bowl cocktail. Post yours in the comment section below.

So what are our favorites? See below:

XLIV and Tonic

This cocktail is a classic. Just fill an extra large rocks glass with ice, pour 4 oz of Indiana Vodka over the ice followed by 4 oz of your favorite tonic, garnish with some Florida lemon or lime.

Bloody Freeney

2 oz Indiana Vodka
2 oz gin
1 oz triple sec
4 oz bloody mary mix
Splash tonic water

Take a shot of this every time we bloody up the Saints offense with a sack attack.

In a shaker half filled with ice combine all ingredients except tonic water. Strain into four shot glasses. Top with tonic water. (Makes four 1 1/2-ounce servings.)

Blue Crew Martini

Toast the best fans in the NFL with this festive martini.

2 tsp blueberries
2. oz Indiana Vodka
1 oz blue curacao
Club soda

In a shaker filled with ice combine the Indiana Vodka and blue curacao. Shake and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with blueberries floating on top and a splash of club soda.

Manning Up Mojito

A twist on the famous mojito. This is a mojito Indianapolis style.

2 oz Indiana Vodka
1 oz Key West lime juice
club soda
1 oz simple syrup with a drop or two of blue food coloring added
4 to 6 large mint leaves

In a medium glass combine syrup, mint leaves, and lime juice in glass and muddle (this basically means break up the mint with a spoon against the glass). Fill glass with ice. Add Indiana Vodka and top glass with club soda.

For a twist, use basil leaves instead of mint.

Heartland Victory Sunrise

4 oz Indiana Vodka
8 oz Sprite
4 oz peach and Papaya juice

Mix together and pour over ice.
