It’s Super Bowl Sunday!! An amazing day with a proliferation of parties, food, fans of both teams and more– like COCKTAILS. While beer might be de rigueur for some, I am a firm believer that a well-made drink keeps people in their seat long and slows them down enough to sip it rather than gulping it. Here are recipes courtesy of rokz, the company with the fabulous array of infusions, garnishing sugars and salts to take your cocktails to the next level. It’s time to be inspired by more than the Patriots or the Seahawks!

Those drinks look really thirst quenching. I especially like the Ginger Lemon drop.

That vodka looks pretty special! I can imagine it makes a fab bloody mary!
The drinks are fabulous. The infusions are easy to do because it’s a mix. What’s not to love to create a craft cocktail.
I adore these combos. This is exactly what I have been doing at home with infusions, bitters, shrubs. The salt mixtures are genius..must try them. Thanks. You are always the cocktail product guru on the cutting edge. This is a great way for people to experiment and learn how to make their own signature flavors.
