Before we move onto Valentine's drink inspiration, let's indulge in one last game day cocktail. This enticing concoction is not only a super easy last-minute drink to enjoy during the big game, but it's also dedicated to all the Swifties out there!

Inspired by the French blonde, I've crafted this cocktail by combining gin with lemon juice and elderflower liqueur. Being a G&T aficionado, I've added a dash of tonic to the mix. To infuse a bit of color, I've incorporated some hibiscus tea, resulting in a beautiful red hue. And of course, no cocktail is complete without a garnish. In this case, a friendship bracelet and sprinkles are the perfect finishes.

The Big Game G&T Recipe

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 1/2 oz Rose Gin (@empress1908gin)

• 1/2 oz St-Germain (Elderflower Liqueur)

• 1/2 oz lemon juice

• 1 oz Hibiscus tea (optional)

• Tonic Water

• Honey & sprinkles for garnish (red, yellow, and white to reflect football team colors)

• A friendship bracelet (for the Swifties)

• 3 Strawberry hearts

Instructions:

Start by grabbing a tall glass, painting honey onto the rim, and then dipping it into your festive sprinkles. Fill the glass to the top with ice. Proceed to add in freshly squeezed lemon juice, gin, elderflower liqueur, and hibiscus tea. Top this off with tonic water and give it a gentle stir. Now it's time to unleash your creativity! Add your friendship bracelet and heart garnish as you see fit.

This Big Game G&T concoction is super crisp and refreshing, making it the perfect cocktail for your festive game day party!

As you sip on your Big Game G&T, what are you most looking forward to during the game? The food? The booze? The halftime show? Or the actual game? As for me, I'm most excited about the halftime show featuring Usher!

Here's to a great game, fantastic drinks, and unforgettable memories. Cheers and go team!
