The vodka


Rain or shine, warm or bitterly cold, beer is the popular drink of choice for most tailgaters—buy why? It’s heavy to drink, cold to handle when it’s blustery out, and you can’t do much to spice it up. On the other hand, with vodka and a creative mind, the possibilities are endless. Vodka is an excellent base for easy-drinking cocktails, which is important if you’re planning to make this cocktailgating session a long one. And it's flexible, if you want to keep things interesting. Go with the vodka, Stoli, for a premium choice.
