Tip 2: Beer Should Not Be the Only Option
Though beer is the usual game day go-to, sophistication requires the exceptional. Introduce your fellow tailgaters to a bottle of DOBEL Tequila which is individually numbered and crafted by hand, from the harvesting of the agave to the blending of the tequilas. DOBEL Tequila is a unique blend of three different tequila ages: reposado (aged 15 months), anejo (aged 24 months), and extra-anejo (aged 36 months). Ensure your guests have the best by serving them the best.
Tip 3: Introduce New Entertainment
Tailgate toss is a college tailgating game but not one for the refined. Set up a table top shuffleboard for a game of skill and tactics that dates back to the Renaissance period. When playing with four players, contestants are divided into two teams and one player from each team stands at each end. Players standing at the same side of the table take turns attempting to slide their weights as close to the opposite edge of the table as possible without falling off. A winner is declared when a team reaches 15 points. Additionally, this game allows contestants to focus on what is important; the Super Bowl.
By incorporating these simple tips into your tailgate routine, you’re sure to impress your guests and will certainly win the “Tailgater of the Year” award.
