As the countdown to the final game of the NFL season quickens, the chants of Fly Eagles Fly get louder. Hopefully, these Philadelphia Eagles themed cocktails will be toasting a victory versus drowning some sorrows.
Whether Saquon Barkley makes a huge impact in the game or another star player earns the MVP, the reality is that Eagles fans are loyal and vocal. Even though some people will happily tip back a 6-pack of Garage Beer, others prefer a smoother sipper.
These three Philadelphia Eagles themed cocktails are fun, festive, and vibrant. From the colors to the flavors, the beverages might even convert some non-fans to the NFC team.
Additionally, the cocktails are approachable enough that they can pair with a Philly Cheesesteak, pizza, smashburger, or anything other food on the table. Versatility is key with a great cocktail.
