Bonus Super Bowl Cocktail: The Sunshine GOAT Spritz
I have always been a fan of Tom Brady. Since this is his first year as a commentator for FOX Sports NFL broadcasts and his first time calling the Super Bowl I decided to add him to my cocktail lineup.
Since Brady spent his last three years playing in Tampa Bay and embraces a clean yet enjoyable lifestyle, this spritz is light, citrusy, and full of bright Florida flavors. It’s the perfect balance of refreshing and celebratory—just like his legendary career.
