Tailgating is all about camaraderie, sports, and, of course, great food and drinks. When it comes to cocktails, you want something that's not only delicious but also easy to make and transport. Here are some top cocktails for tailgating that will have you and your fellow fans cheering:
Classic Margarita:
- Prepare a big batch of margaritas in a large cooler with ice, Remington Vodka, triple sec, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve in plastic cups with salt or sugar rims and garnish with lime wedges.
Bloody Mary Bar:
- Set up a DIY Bloody Mary station with Remington Vodka, tomato juice, and various mix-ins like hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a variety of pickles and olives. Let your guests customize their drinks to their liking.
Whiskey Lemonade:
- Mix Remington Revival Whiskey with lemonade and a splash of sparkling water for a simple yet satisfying cocktail. Serve in mason jars for a rustic touch.
Dark and Stormy:
- Fill a cooler with Remington Revival Whiskey and ginger beer. Provide lime wedges for garnish. It's a simple and delicious option for those who prefer a darker spirit.
Bourbon Sweet Tea:
- Mix Remington Revival Whiskey with sweet tea and a splash of lemon juice. It's a Southern-inspired classic that's perfect for tailgating.
Remember to drink responsibly and be mindful of local alcohol regulations when tailgating. These cocktails will not only keep your spirits high but also add an extra layer of enjoyment to your pre-game festivities. Cheers to a successful tailgating season!
The Texas Whiskey Festival and Remington Family Distillers Release Bourbon Barrel Aged Caffe Del Fuego

[Nov 22, 2021] -
Tejas, the Spanish spelling of the ancient Caddo word for "friend" or "ally," is a collaboration between the festival and various Texas distillers to create unique offerings that showcase their methods and character. Each bottling will be a limited release available only through the respective distiller.
The bourbon-barrel-aged Caffe Del Fuego is the second release in the Tejas collaboration series. Caffe Del Fuego is a coffee liquor done right. “As lifelong whiskey drinkers we have always loved how it pairs with our product. That's why we were super excited by this project. By aging Caffe Del Fuego for a year in Ironroot bourbon barrels we were able to create a special release that really captures the best of two great spirits. Our rich coffee taste, their smooth, smoky accents, and the deep caramel and vanilla flavors from both come together into something truly noteworthy. I can't wait for our fans to have the opportunity to enjoy this,” said Mark Remington Koelsch, President and Founder of Remington Family Distillers.
The bottling totaled just under 500 – 750ml bottles. It will be available the Saturday after Thanksgiving, exclusively through the tasting room at Remington Family Distillers. "I love that three companies came together to create this fantastic product," says Jake Clements, Co-Founder of the Texas Whiskey Festival. "The collaboration is still going; the empty barrels are now back at Ironroot for the second part of our collaboration."
Tejas came to embody the character of the weathered and resilient settlers who saw the wide-open west as their destiny. This series pays homage to their intrepid resolve by bringing together our favorite Texas distilleries in a spirit of friendship that exemplifies the pride we take in proclaiming, "We are Tejas!"
