Super Bowl Drinks for your Ultimate Super Party

Who do you think is going to be the ultimate winner this Super Bowl Sunday? Patriots or the Rams? No need to debate this one, I say it’s going to be the food and beverages. Worldwide, parties are expected to commence at the break of dawn and continue well past the final ticks of the game clock. For so many, the game itself plays second fiddle to the food and drinks expected to reign superior throughout the day.
