Gameday Cocktails: The Bear Bryant
What to drink when you've finished the beer, the Pink Panty Pulldowns and the Bama Bombs?
Faithful reader Gary in Jacksonville has the answer, a drink that not only pays tribute to the greatest coach in the history of the game but that tastes as good as ice cream on a hot summer day: the Bear Bryant.
First you'll need the ingredients:
A Golden Flake potato chip.
Some sauce:
This stuff flows out of the tap in Tuscaloosa.
and of course:
Nectar of the gods. (But also bad for the teeth.)
Now: Put the Golden Flake potato chip in your mouth. Take a shot of Southern Comfort. Chew and swallow. Chase it with Coke.
Orson Swindle adds: For true veracity, have someone break your leg. Now go play a football game. And don't complain. And then wrestle a bear. For fun.
Keep the Gameday Cocktail recipes coming. We'll post em.

This is an unfortunate creation made from poverty and raised to the pantheon by drinking it last season.
Aristocrat vodka and Diet Coke (in a special Alabama pint glass while wearing the lucky shirt and sitting in the lucky chair petting the lucky cat).
Even freshmen can afford it. And I was drinking it for nine of last year's 10 wins. The other was the Cotton Bowl win, in which I was finishing off (inside the stadium) my minibottles of Fighting Cock bourbon purchased for the Independence Bowl.
BTW -- Fighting Cock is bad luck for South Carolina. It was my drink of choice for both the '03 Clemson game and '05 Independence Bowl debacles.
For the love of all things holy, that sounds God-awful and I'm a faithful drinker of the Deep South cough syrup.
Southern Comfort makes anything taste better... even potato chips. Especially potato chips.
Ah, yes. But in Baton Rouge, substitute Jack Daniel's for Southern COmfort.
OK�.if you're from up north and have to freeze your butt off for a game you will appreciate this mix. We made this in while tailgating for a January game at Solder Field and it was freaking COLD. Take coffee, hot chocolate mix, peppermint schnapps, and some Jack Daniels or cheap substitute. If you are a proper tailgater you will have your BBQ with you for brats or whatever you can consume before a noon game. Make sure you bring a pot or something to make your brew in that can go on the grill, this keeps it warm in -20 degree weather. Brew your coffee before the game (the stronger the better) and add a little cream if you want, add the hot chocolate mix, schnapps, and JD. This stuff will wake you up, keep you warm, and get you loaded. It tastes pretty good too.
Da Bears,
Didn't that cocktail keep the Donner party alive for a few weeks? Seems like I read that somewhere.
The Brady Quinn: Mix Goldschlager (for the Heisman), SoCo (cuz it's gonna be sweet when we win the National Championship, brotha!), and Ouza (sp?) for the weirdness of samardizjiaja's name.
The UGA: I'm from ATL and we made this up a looong time ago. 1 part Malt liquor, 1 part the cheapest whiskey you can find, dash of everclear, sugar the rim of the cup.
Put two altoids in your mouth (the originals)
Take a shot of Captain Morgan's spiced rum
Chase it with Cream Soda
It's awesome!
mccormicks apple vodka and cheerios, breakfast of champions
the breakfast of champions is guinness. it is also the lunch, dinner, and midnight snack of champions really replace any meals with the liquid bread. as for a good mixed drink take a large green apple core it, leaving a cup that holds about a large double. fill with white rum or vodka. drink. repeat until apple is to soggy to use. eat apple
1 part butterripple schnaaps to 1 part sour apple soda. Tastes exactly like liquid candy apple, doesnt taste alcoholic at all, and can be drunk really quickly, hence being loaded quickly
