Make any bowl game celebration super by mixing up one of these football themed cocktails, just for two or for the whole crowd.

The Absolut Winner

This signature drink from Shula's Steak House honors Hall of Fame coach Don Shula and his 1972 Miami Dolphins, the first NFL team to ever score a perfect season.

Rim a standard cocktail glass with orange sugar. Combine ingredients over ice in a mixing glass or shaker, and shake to combine. Strain into the sugar-rimmed glass and garnish with a floating orange slice.

Club Haus

Quick and simple, this cocktail is courtesy of TheBar.com.

Combine Black Haus and club soda. Serve over ice and garnish with a cherry.

Captain Morgan's Rum Punch

Playing host for the big game is as easy as whipping up a super bowl of rum punch from TheBar.com. This recipe serves 12.

Combine all ingredients, and serve chilled over ice.

Touchdown Tea

This is another good choice for entertaining, since it's easy to prepare in quantity. It's also extremely potent, however, so it's best to warn guests in advance.

Combine all ingredients and pour in a punch bowl over ice, stirring well. Using large chunks of ice instead of cubes will slow the melting time, so the punch doesn't become watery.

Quarterback Sack

Combine all ingredients except tonic water in a mixing glass half filled with ice. Strain into four shot glasses. Top off with tonic water.

False Start

Squeeze the lemon into a shaker filled with cracked ice. Shake well with cider and spirits. Strain into two ice-filled rocks glasses.

Two Point Conversion

This cocktail is a bit more involved, requiring two blenders. The extra effort is rewarded with two tall, fruity concoctions.

Combine the rums, sour mix, cranberry juice and ice in one blender, and blend until smooth. In the second blender, blend the pina colada mix with ice. In two hurricane glasses, alternate layers of the mixtures, pouring carefully so they don't mix. Serve with a straw, and garnish with an orange wheel and a cherry.
