Just because your team got sidelined doesn’t mean you can’t style it out.

If you’re a fan of the Denver Broncos or the Carolina Panthers, you don’t need drink suggestions to make today super. Your teams are playing in the Super Bowl. You could be eating spray cheese on crackers and drinking generic beer and you’d be happy. For the rest of us—those sitting it out on the sidelines because our teams fell in the playoffs or didn’t make it past the regular season—could use a little a little razzmatazz to get up for the big game.

Here are some super drink suggestions:
