1. Aesthetics Matter
· Whether you are setting up your favorite tent or flying your team’s flag high, tailgaters appreciate a nice area to hang out in. A tailgaters dream is to use the Bulleit Whiskey Woody Tailgate Trailer –originally designed for the Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gift Guide, retailing for more than $150,000. Created by iconic designer Brad Ford, the Woody is cast from repurposed Bulleit barrels and features a fully stocked bar of Bulleit Bourbon, Rye. It’s been featured on The Today Show, CNN and more. This fall, Bulleit is taking the trailer on a tailgate tour across America. Follow @BulleitWoody to find out if the Woody is coming to a tailgate near you!
· Can’t afford a $150K trailer? Try ditching the plastic cups for rocks glasses, adding a table cloth and a floral arrangement to jazz up the space!
2. Good Eatin’
· What’s better than BBQ at a tailgate? Marinating your meats in a booze-infused BBQ sauce, that’s what. Tennessee Whisky brand, George Dickel knows how to spice things up with a special booze-infused BBQ sauce developed by chef, Adam Perry Lang.
George Dickel Barbecue Sauce
1 cup of honey
1 cup of white vinegar
1 cup of George Dickel No. 12
3 cups of favorite barbecue sauce

3. Drinks Matter
