Notes

Game day drinks should be as fun as the football — so make your Big Orange Buzz your own!
  • Best served ice cold.
  • Pair with BBQ nachos, hot chicken sliders, or wings for a true Tennessee spread.
  • Try orange-pineapple or mango-orange juice for a tropical twist.
  • Highball or rocks glasses both work great, but mason jars bring a Southern tailgate vibe.
  • For big crowds, pour into plastic orange game day cups for an easy (and very on-theme) option.
  • Double or triple the recipe for a shareable pitcher.
