Think of Touchdown Tea as the laid-back Southern cousin to the espresso martini: Chilled green tea meets bourbon for a smooth blend of natural caffeine and earthy flavor. Created by Heather Blanchard, lead bartender at New Orleans’ Virgin Hotel, the cocktail was made with game day in mind, and it became a fall favorite at the hotel’s Pool Club. “The warmth of bourbon and the refreshing and energizing qualities of green tea keep fans fueled throughout the game,” Blanchard says. A splash of peach liqueur, honey, and lemon add a kick of bright citrus, making it a perfect tailgate drink—or a go-to porch pounder when the weather warms up.
