Game Day Snacks & Sips

We pulled together some of our follower’s favorite game-day snacks & Sips. This will give you an idea of what you can make for your GAME DAY PARTY! These are some of our most searched for recipes for snacks, sweet treats, and cocktails.

Whether you are looking for hot and cheesy, or a cold snack that you can make up in advance, we have it! We hope to inspire you with some of our cocktail pairings. Make it your own, switch it up! But be sure to make enough SPICY RANCH CHEX MIX!! Oh, and of course double up on the batch of cookies you make too!

Having a variety of snacks and sips is key to a get together. You can make the pimento cheese ahead of time, and get it out just before the party starts! Whip up a batch of raspberry simple syrup, a few days ahead of time so you are ready for your martini bar! The soft pretzels can be baked the morning of, and just heated up for half time!

 

Where are all our CHEESE LOVERS?

Beer cheese dip for pretzels and spicy pimento cheese are crowd-pleasing snacks perfect for game day gatherings. The beer cheese dip, made with sharp cheddar, a splash of your favorite beer, and a touch of Dijon mustard, delivers a creamy, tangy punch that pairs perfectly with soft, salty pretzels. Meanwhile, the spicy pimento cheese, a zesty blend of shredded cheddar, cream cheese, roasted pimentos, and a kick of cayenne or jalapeño, offers a bold, flavorful spread for crackers, chips, or fresh veggies. These easy-to-make dips are guaranteed to keep fans satisfied while cheering on their favorite teams.

Is Tex-Mex what you are craving?

Guacamole and Fish Stick Taquitos are a winning combination for game day parties, offering bold flavors and satisfying bites. The guacamole, made with ripe avocados, fresh lime juice, diced tomatoes, onions, and a touch of cilantro, delivers creamy, zesty perfection that’s great for dipping. Pair it with crispy fish stick taquitos—tortillas rolled around crunchy fish sticks, baked or fried to golden perfection, and served with a drizzle of tangy sauce or salsa. These easy-to-prepare, crowd-pleasing dishes bring a fresh twist to classic game day snacks.

Now, how about a MARGARITA, or two?

Tex-Mex Game Day is Next Level With: fresh mango margaritas on the rocks and smoked pineapple margaritas. The fresh mango margarita combines ripe, juicy mango, tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, and a splash of orange liqueur for a naturally sweet and refreshing drink. The grilled pineapple margarita takes it up a notch with caramelized pineapple, paired with tequila, grilled lime and orange juice for a smoky, citrusy depth of flavor that’s irresistible. These bright and bold margaritas will be the MVPs of your game day spread!
