Bourbon Cherry Cola
Y’all it is officially football season. And in the south that means Saturdays are spent watching the SEC in the company of good friends. We try to host at least two football parties during the College Football Season. I am especially excited about our parties this year since we recently had a major home renovation, and I cannot wait to start hosting all of the parties! And, I cannot host a proper football party without a delicious cocktail option, this year I worked on a tasty Bourbon Cherry Cola recipe and it is everything! In fact, it is so good it should be on every tailgater’s menu.
Tailgate Food
Good tailgate food doesn’t have to be hard to make. In fact this Bourbon Cherry Cola can be made by guests at the party. You just have to make the cherry syrup ahead of time.
I love old fashioned cherry soda. This sweet treat can be made with or without the bourbon so guests of all ages can enjoy it.
The Best Tailgate Food
The best tailgating food is something everyone can enjoy. Even the host that is preparing the food! This is why almost all of my tailgating recipes are super easy. {Who am I kidding, all of my recipes are easy!}
