This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Red Baron. The opinions and text are all mine.

It’s college football season and that means just one thing: tailgating! And tailgating is just as fun at home as it is in a parking lot, right? Especially if you have the right food. Because tailgating is all mostly about the food! Tailgate At Your Place is a digital destination that will help you plan the ultimate home tailgate party! The site includes football tips and trivia, party ideas, recipes, and more … and when you interact on the site, you have the chance to win one of hundreds of prizes!

As part of the hub, you’ll find great tailgating recipes that will go head-to-head each week in a recipe match-up. Readers will earn additional sweepstakes entries for voting for their favorite recipe in the match-up.

One of the recipes you’ll see in a recipe match-up is this tailgating mocktail: The Touchdown Mocktail! It has all the goodness of a root beer float {without the ice cream} and its caramel kick will get you rooting hard for the home team! Plus, it requires very few ingredients and that’s always a win, right?
