February 1, 2023 — The playoffs have concluded and only two teams remain- The Philadelphia Eagles and The Kansas City Chiefs. Brother will face off against brother, and an old coach will go head to head with the new as Super Bowl LVII approaches on February 12th. We were hoping both teams would have fun because normally it’s all about the sips and snacks; however, it’s become personal. #gobirds
We’ve compiled some game-winning recipes, including: bourbon fondue, a spiked lemonade pitcher, an all-ages mock-jito, and a beer cocktail.
