The best part of Super Bowl parties is that at least some aspect about them appeals to everyone. Food lovers can indulge in Super Bowl snacks and finger foods, animal lovers can revel in the puppy bowl, and football fans can, of course, watch the big game. As Ree Drummond says, "I love a good football game. And part of it is that I love Super Bowl food." And that's not to mention the ever-flowing refreshments, a uniting force that's arguably the most important part of any good party.

When hosting a crowd, a few signature drinks are almost essential, and effortless Super Bowl cocktails can add a delightful twist to the gathering. While a case of beer or soda is a reliable choice, that's something you can have during any regular game. If you're truly aiming to make this occasion one to remember, consider concocting these Super Bowl drinks instead.

Here, you'll find classic cocktail recipes like a mint julep or bloody mary along with out-of-the-box ideas to go with your menu of Super Bowl foods. Try one of the many variations on sangria with your favorite chicken wings or opt for the cranberry margarita served with chips and your favorite party dip. Whether you're tuning in for the halftime show, the Super Bowl commercials, or the game itself, these tasty Super Bowl drinks will make your night feel like a party no matter who wins or loses.
