The Super Bowl isn’t just about football — it’s about gathering with friends, watching the commercials, and having a great drink in hand while the game unfolds. Whether you’re hosting a watch party or just here for the vibes, game-day cocktails are an easy way to bring team spirit to the table.
This year, we’re celebrating two fan-favorite teams with cocktails inspired by their colors, culture, and hometown energy. From New England’s classic cocktail roots to Seattle’s bold, modern flair, these drinks are designed to be as fun to sip as the game is to watch.
A Patriots-Inspired Classic with Bold Rye Character
A nod to New England’s cocktail history, the Patriot Ward 8 is a bright, citrus-forward rye cocktail with just enough sweetness to keep things balanced. Originally created in Boston, the Ward 8 is a natural choice for Patriots fans — bold, classic, and rooted in tradition. Fresh citrus and a touch of grenadine give it that unmistakable red hue, making it perfect for game day.
For the Patriot Ward 8, we’re using New Riff Balboa Rye Whiskey, a standout rye known for its bold spice and rich character. Balboa rye brings depth and structure to this cocktail, letting the citrus shine without overpowering the whiskey itself. It’s a great example of how a well-made rye can anchor a classic cocktail while still feeling fresh and modern — exactly what you want in a Super Bowl sip.
A Seahawks-Inspired Cocktail Powered by Loft & Bear Vodka
Seattle fans bring the energy, and this cocktail does the same. The 12th Man Stack is a vibrant blue-and-green drink inspired by Seahawks colors and the passion of the 12th Man. Layered (or shaken, if you prefer), it’s playful, eye-catching, and built for cheering loud — whether you’re watching from the couch or hosting a full-blown watch party.
The 12th Man Stack gets its smooth foundation from Loft & Bear Vodka, a clean, approachable vodka that plays well with bright, layered flavors. Its crisp profile lets the citrus and liqueurs take center stage without harshness, making it ideal for colorful, crowd-pleasing cocktails. Whether layered for visual impact or shaken for simplicity, Loft & Bear keeps this drink smooth from kickoff to the final whistle.

The 12th Man Stack Recipe
This cocktail takes inspiration from layered Seahawks-themed drinks with blue curaçao and green liqueurs — creating a bold visual and delicious flavor that screams Sea(green) and Blu(e)!
Ingredients:
2 oz blue curaçao
1½ oz melon liqueur (like Midori or another green liqueur)
1 oz Loft & Bear Vodka
2 oz sour mix
Lemon or lime wheel, for garnish
Instructions:
Start by pouring the blue curaçao into a glass with ice — this will form the bottom layer.
In a shaker, combine the melon liqueur, vodka, and sour mix with ice and shake gently.
Hold a bar spoon upside down just above the blue layer and slowly pour the shaker mixture over it — this helps the green layer float on top.
Garnish with a lemon or lime wheel and serve.
Bold, layered, and unmistakably Seahawks in spirit — this cocktail brings blue and green straight to your Super Bowl party.
