7-Up or more beer as needed.
2. The Black and Blue
For those students who can not let go of sipping on a cold beer while watching the game, this drink is a great change of pace. The Black and Blue is a combination of Guinness and Blue Moon. It is also great for Steelers fans because the colors combine to make black and gold.
Ingredients: One Guinness and one Blue Moon
Directions:
1. Fill a glass halfway with the Blue Moon.
2. Add half a Guinness by slowly pouring it over an upside-down tablespoon placed over the glass.
3. Super Bowl Punch
If students can not or chose not to have an alcoholic drink on game day, here is a great option. This punch is similar to a mimosa but without the alcohol. It is easy to make and with its red coloring may be a favorite of Cardinals fans.
Ingredients: 2 liters of 7-Up, gallon of orange juice, package of gummy bears, ice
Directions:
1. Combine three-fourths of the gallon of orange juice and three-fourths of the 7-UP in a mixing bowl.
2. Add ice and red gummy bears. Leave extra red gummy bears next to punch bowl for guests to add to their drinks.
