"Homegating" - Tailgating at Home with Celebrity Chef, George Duran
Football season is here and this year I'm homegating - that means tailgating at home with friends and family.
I like to set the tone with a fine drink made with these Cocktail Artist premium cocktail mixes and bar ingredients. They have over 15 flavors made in the USA and designed by award-winning mixologists. Make a Classic Bloody Mary using their Bloody Mary mix made from tomato puree and savory spices. Their mixes use natural fruit juices and flavors along with pure cane sugar and organic blue agave nectar. That means no high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors. Don’t forget to get creative with the garnishes like my infamous candied maple bacon. Cocktail Artist is sold nationwide at Wal-Mart and can also be found in grocery stores.

Have you ever dipped pizza in salad dressing? So good! In fact, I like to use Litehouse dressings which you can find right in the produce section of the grocery store. They are delicious compliments for all your gameday needs like raw veggies, pasta salads, baked potatoes or even classic Buffalo wings. I love their Homestyle Ranch and their Chunky Blue Cheese which have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Click here to learn more.
