Rise and Shine it's Tailgate Time! Tiger Tonics #2



Unfortunately for college football fans, not all of us are morning risers, and all games aren't at night. Luckily, a good brunch cocktail can wake up the most tired of night owls. For many, a mimosa or coffee with Bailey's is an easy go-to morning libation. Check out these two alternative options for your tailgate tonic! Auburn's next game against Clemson at 11 CT is a perfect opportunity to try these out!

Celery sticks (optional)

Preparation

Combine vegetable juice, next 5 ingredients, and, if desired, vodka in a punch bowl or a pitcher. Serve over ice in glasses. Serve with celery sticks, if desired.
