Skittles Game Face Fizz- This fruity and fizzy drink is fun for all ages! Make it in your favorite team colors for the big game.






Who is excited for the Big Game tonight? I know we will be watching it in this house. Well, I will be half watching the game between taking sips of this fun Skittles® Game Face Fizz and munching on one of our game day favorite recipes, my MVPeanut Butter SNICKERS® Popcorn. ;)  





My husband though? He will be all into the game.





Before any big game, I am making my own game plan for a tasty football party menu. I had to stop by my local Walmart first to pick up some of my game day favorites, like Skittles and SNICKERS.





I knew that for today's big game I wanted to come up with a super fun drink that all the get-together guests could enjoy, including my almost 3 year old daughter. 





While picking up a bag of our favorite Skittles at Walmart, it occurred to me why not concoct a fun and fizzy drink in our favorite team colors using the Skittles? :) And thus, my Skittles Game Face Fizz was brought to fruition...

Forget the usual six packs! Quench your thirst while watching the big game with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails.







I may not be into football as much I used to be, but I do know one thing- there are some pretty big games on this weekend. ;)  From the NFL playoff games to the NCAA National Championship game on Monday, this weekend was made for football, folks.  





And while I do not have any teams near and dear to my heart playing this weekend (my husband's beloved Steelers have already been knocked out), I have a feeling that my home will still end up being all football all weekend. 





Not that I am complaining. As long as we are serving tasty food and good drinks, I don't care which teams are playing or who's winning. 
Who's with me on this one? ;)





I think everyone always think of the game day food. They search their favorite food blogs and Pinterest for recipes in advance, make a plan with the other party guests to see who is bringing what, and so on. But how about those game day sips?   





Don't just pick up a couple of six packs this weekend!  Instead make watching that big game fun and thirst quenching with these 12 Game Day Ready Cocktails from some of my favorite food bloggers... ;)
