Your house has a vague smell of hot sauce and cheese, there's an abundance of beer taking up the space in your refrigerator, and your largest TV in the house is about to be commandeered. This is the day that comes every February when men plan ahead for the perfect evening of food, laughter, and entertainment, and no, unfortunately it isn't Valentine's Day. You've guessed it ladies, it's time for the Super Bowl again. 

While your husband is downing beer after beer, you can get your drink on too with these specialty Super Bowl themed cocktails.
