While the most obvious drink for Game Day might be the humble beer, there’s no reason you shouldn’t turn the day into something a bit special by mixing up some high-end drinks. And what’s more classy, or more celebratory, than sparkling wine? If you are up for getting a bit fancy for the Super Bowl, then sparkling wine brand Mumm has suggestions for delicious drinks that will add a touch of class to your day.

They suggest to build these cocktails in the glass for an easier game-day experience, but if you want to do that then you’ll need to make sure that your ingredients are pre-chilled, so don’t forget to pop them into the fridge.
