Judy’s Game Day Picks

Tito’s Handmade Vodka


Tito’s Handmade Vodka is made in Austin, Texas. A pure corn spirit, it is distilled six times in a pot still. This vodka offers aromas of tropical fruit and citrus; the palate is medium bodied and smooth with flavours of guava, passion fruit, and citrus followed by a soft finish.

Try mixing Tito’s Handmade Vodka in a “Harvey Wallbanger” cocktail. A Harvey Wallbanger is a fun and simple drink that was created in the 1950’s that became a smash hit in the 1970’s and has seen a recent revival.

Harvey Wallbanger

  • Pour vodka and orange juice into an ice filled collins glass.
  • Stir.
  • Float Galliano on top by pouring gently over the back of the spoon.

Hornitos Reposado Tequila


Hornitos Reposado is rested at least two months in oak vats that produces a smooth, mature character and delivers the purest agave flavor possible from wood –treated tequila. Flavour of sweet pear and spice.

Perfect game day pairings are Buffalo Wings, Guacamole and Salsa.

If you’re gathering with friends to cheer on your favorite team, step up your game this year with this Pineapple Margarita Cocktail.
