Weekends are for friends, family, and football so we don’t mess around when it comes to drinks and snacks. These game day cocktails, chips and sliders (two ways!) are perfect for any tailgate — home or away!
For the first Sunday in a while, I didn’t rely solely on my crockpot to do the cooking for me. Even though the sliders took a little more effort than usual, we grabbed some snacks and whipped up some cocktails to hold us over.
popchips
Buffalo Ranch Ridges from popchips are the perfect game day snack. They’re popped, not fried, which means you get all of the spicy, tangy buffalo sauce flavor combined with creamy, cooling ranch flavor with half the fat compared to fried chips. The thick, ridged chips make them sturdy enough for dipping, and perfectly crunchy on their own. Plus, they’re only 120 calories per serving so they’re a great-tasting better-for-you tailgate snack.

Mr. & Mrs. T Bloody Mary Mix
Another gameday favorite? A good Bloody Mary! You can make this classic cocktail a breeze with Mr & Mrs T® Original Bloody Mary Mix. Just add vodka, ice, and your favorite garnishes and you’re ready to go! It comes in multiple sizes, from single-serve cans to 1-liter bottles, so you can make a pitcher for a crowd or enjoy one on your own.
Fun fact: My blog is named after my maiden name, but my actual last name starts with a T, which makes us Mr & Mrs T.
Another fun fact: I’m allergic to vodka so I always swap for gin or tequila, but “Mr. T” sticks with vodka.
Ragu
New Simply TM Roasted Garlic Sauce from RAGÚ is made with 100% olive oil and no added sugar, so it’s the perfect ingredient for your tailgate recipes. Grab a jar and enjoy the rich taste of roasted garlic, plump tomatoes, and onion. I used it to make eggplant parmesan sliders — a handheld version of a classic recipe, perfect for game day.

Legal, Brazil’s Original Hot Sauce
Légal means “cool” in Portuguese and is also the namesake of Brazil’s Original Hot Sauce. It’s gluten-free, vegan and handmade with all-natural ingredients like Brazil’s native Malagueta Peppers from a recipe that’s been passed down for generations. It was the perfect base for these buffalo chicken sliders!
