Seahawks 'Beast Mode' Punch

I originally published this recipe for a cocktail in 2014 when I was at the field with Q13 FOX. It was so fun to be in the parking lot with my friends from the station mixing up some fun ideas to celebrate the Super Bowl. Here we are, twelve years later, getting to celebrate again. Football is the most fun to watch, the most fun to be apart of, and I am so excited to celebrate our team again this year in the greatest game.

A punch is a great way to serve your friends for the big game. The less times you need to bartend or have friends digging around for drinks, the more time you can focus on the game and the ads! There’s literally no break in the Super Bowl, so make sure you are well prepared before the game starts.

The only catch with a punch - DO NOT PUT THE ICE IN NOW! Save the ice for when you pour your drink. Leave the ice out in an ice bucket with a scooper. As your guests pour punch in their cup, they will want the ice to scoop in just before.

NOTES:

Blue curaçao is super sweet. You can limit how much you put in, but 1/2 cup is the perfect blue shade.
Use a lemonade that isn’t as sweet. I use the organic, natural one that’s all good for you, blah blah blah and it’s not overly sweet. That’s your best bet.
Shaking this in a cocktail shaker makes it SO GOOD. Something about the extra cold is delightful
You can easily substitute vodka for gin. I know a lot of you don’t love gin. I get it, swap out.
If you use gin, choose one that is more floral forward. Or citrus forward. Nolet’s is a great option.
