10 SEC College Cocktails

Tailgate Thursday

Tailgate Thursday - Week 9

Heading into the fourth quarter of play, with just a few weeks remaining in regular scheduled games, many teams going into this period of late have faced unnerving, nail biting and disappointing endings. Many games end when either team could have won. Last Saturday was no exception and after watching, with stomach in a pandemonium state, I needed a drink. Actually, I already had consumed a few, but I needed another one. And that folks, brings us to today’s agenda. Looking at the results in SEC play, I thought it would be fun to post drink recipes for many of the league’s teams - in no particular order.
