Super Bowl 51 is swiftly approaching with the Patriots taking on the Falcons in a battle of Brady vs Ryan.
This meeting will mark the first time since 1984 that the league's two highest-rated passers have faced off in the Super Bowl (via Bleacher Report)!
Of course, there's more to the Super Bowl than quarterbacks, just like there's more to a Super Bowl party then cocktails… or so some people say.
We at Barritt's, on the other hand, say bring on the drinks! This week, we've rounded up our own Super Bowl matchup starring the The Patriotic Mule versus the equally delicious Peach Falcon Fizz. Who will win? You decide!
Super Bowl Cocktail: Peach Falcon Fizz
The peach is Georgia's official fruit, making this peach and citrus cocktail, complemented by Tito's Vodka and Barritt's Ginger Beer, a natural.
Of course, much like the Falcons, this underdog may just win over everyone at your Super Bowl bash!

INSTRUCTIONS

- Add a handful of crushed ice and the Tito's Vodka to the shaker.
- Pour contents of shaker into a glass and add ice to fill.

- Serve this Super Bowl cocktail and enjoy!
