Tailgate parties and gathering around the big screen with friends call for good food and drinks with little preparation time and lots of great taste. Jack Daniel’s Pigskin Punch can be made ahead for on the go serve for tailgate parties or service from the punch bowl for indoor parties around the big screen. Either way this recipe is fit for a crowd with a non-alcoholic variation included in the directions.
