Even though it is still a sweltering 91 degrees outside I can’t help but feel excited about fall! I am the most sports-illiterate person on the planet but when it comes time for tailgating I am all in! I thought this year it would be fun to step up my tailgating game and create something a little more chic. Why not put those hostessing skills to use in the parking lots across the nation?! But first the drinks…
Simply Glam Spritzer
Simply Juice Drinks has teamed up with the Better Homes and Gardens for the Stylemaker Workshop for a fun drink contest. They want to see how you use one of their yummy juices to create a new cocktail or mocktail. I chose the cocktail route!
I love the Mixed Berry flavor so I thought it would be fun to infuse all of that flavor into one large ice cube. If you’re like me, you like to sip a drink and this is a great way to let the flavor slowly seep into the drink instead having a watered down spritzer after only a little while.

*I used these ice molds
How to Make:
1. Place the Mixed Berry ice cube in glass
2. Pour two shots glass pours of vodka over the ice
3. Fill the glass the rest of the way with tonic water
4. Garnish with fresh mint
Start the day off right with your Mixed berry spritzer. It only requires a few ingredients that are easy to transport to your pre-game party!
Don’t forget the snacks too!
I wanted to create set up that is a little more thoughtful than just folding chairs and a charcoal grill so I grabbed some plush velvet floor cushions, a few cozy blankets and set a table with fun linens!
So grab your girliest girlfirends, your prettiest throw blankets and comfy cushions and go tailgate glam-gate!
