Host a Football Party…

Football season is in full swing and I am happy to report that I am in 1st place in my girls’ fantasy football league! You all probably know that I am a huge football fan. In our house, Sundays are dedicated to football and we usually rotate friends’ houses to watch the games. We all bring yummy eats + drinks to the parties and I am always looking for new ideas. We’ve teamed up with Smirnoff Ice to share a few fabulous drink recipes, savory food recipes + fun free printables to help you create your own game day party!

Games typically start at 10:00am our time, so mimosas are always a good idea! Try this delicious Peach Mimosa recipe for a fresh take on this popular cocktail:

Peach Mimosa

Chill all ingredients:

2 oz Smirnoff Ice Peach Bellini
2 oz Champagne
1 oz Orange Juice

Pour Smirnoff Ice Peach Bellini into a champagne flute, then add orange juice and top with champagne.

Sangria is one of my absolutely favorite drinks and adding an apple twist to the recipe makes it perfect for the Fall!

Apple White Sangria

3 Bottles of Smirnoff Ice Green Apple
1 bottle Moscato (750ml)
2-3 apples (cut into chunks)

Pour Moscato and Smirnoff Ice Green Apple into a large pitcher. Add apple chunks. Serve over ice. (6 servings)

Don’t forget the snacks and treats! Football gatherings call for easy items that can be enjoyed without taking your eyes off of the game. Serve up snacks like popcorn, chips and pretzels in individual containers.

Italian Meatball Sliders are the perfect savory and filling food that everyone will love! Recipe coming soon!

Dips are always popular for game day celebrations! Try this Hummus with Pesto Sauce recipe to impress your friends. Served with warm pita bread, it is sure to be devoured in minutes. Recipe coming soon!

Sweets! My neighbor made a recipe for Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes the other day and they were SO amazing. We decided they would be the perfect football party treat, so we’ll be sharing this recipe soon.
