How to Make the Super Bowl a Little More Fun
It's that time of year again. 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. It'll make your husbands ranting about tackles, penalties, and how many times the Patriots have been to the Super Bowl more bearable. The halftime show will be better, and the commercials will be even funnier. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the big game.
