Belly Market & Rotisserie crafts to-go tailgate mixers for game days

The perfect cocktail for your tailgate at the game or at home is one perfectly crafted and ready to go when you are. Belly Market & Rotisserie’s Amy Rothwell has made your game days easy and tasty with four to-go craft cocktail mixes to choose from, all you do is bring the spirits and ice. We feature two here and the other two you’ll have to go in and ask out about (think: watermelon and cucumber). The best part is that each mix is based on the bar’s choose-your-own-adventure menu. With six different spirits, you can craft six different cocktails, all from the same mix. You’ll be the talk of the tailgate and make something that everyone in the group will love. 



 

Stay Golden

Ingredients

  • Mango
  • Spiced peach
  • Pineapple juice
  • Ginger
  • Spice Syrup
  • Lemon juice 

Pairs with:

  • Champagne
  • Coconut rum
  • Mezcal
  • Tequila
  • Vodka
  • Whiskey
  • White rum

Stay Golden is for the fall-lover who also wants to stay refreshed. With a mix of sweet and spicy, it can take on any form depending on what you wish to pair it with. Bright pineapple and lemon keep things bright and fresh, while the spiced peach, ginger and mango bring in the seasonal savoriness. Make it a crisp fall morning filled with bubbles by adding champagne, take it for an afternoon game with whiskey or celebrate post-game next to a fire with mezcal. Whatever you decide, we promise it’ll go down easy.



 

Belly Mary

Ingredients

  • Tomato juice
  • Carrot zest
  • Pickled red onion
  • Pickled ginger brine
  • Green olives
  • Kalamata olives
  • Pickle juice
  • Rosemary confit garlic
  • Capers
  • Mix of Mediterranean spices

Pairs with:

  • Gin
  • Mezcal
  • Tequila
  • Vodka

“Belly Mary” is for the breakfast and brunch tailgaters who have to make it to an “early” game (early is relative, after all). You can turn up the heat with tequila or keep it traditional with vodka. Savory, tangy and packed with pickled vegetables and olives, this drink brings plenty of flavor to the tailgate. It is also made with ingredients from local producers, making it a truly mid-Missouri staple for game days. No matter your choice of libation, it’ll keep you warm throughout the whole game, or at least until you want a refill.


 

*Each mix comes with six garnishes, cups and straws for on-the-go ease.
