On a cold damp Saturday morning, a bit of coffee and Bailey’s is a sure fire way to warm yourself up and add a bit of cheer. With Notre Dame and Navy kicking the 2012 season off in Ireland at a 9am Eastern start, I can’t think of a better drink to start the day than Irish Coffee. This also fits our requirements for being a good tailgating drink because of it’s sparse ingredients and easy mixing technique.
In the picture we used a with an optional lid. A pretty nifty addition to your tailgating gear since it works easily with both hot and cold drinks and doesn’t receive or transfer temperature to your hand. Plus it’s always fun to see what you’re drinking.
Irish Coffee Recipe
Ingredients:
8oz Strong Black Coffee
1.5-2oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
1 tsp Brown Sugar
Heavy Cream or Whipped Cream
Directions:
Combine coffee, Bailey’s, and brown sugar and mix until sugar is dissolved. If using heavy cream, pour over the back of a spoon so that cream rests on top of coffee. For tailgating in the wild, I suggest using a Reddi-Wip can to add to the top of your drink.
We’ve mentioned our love of a travel bar before. But sometimes you need to be more portable or discreet. That’s where the Bar10der tool comes in. This all purpose bar tool features a bottle opener, corkscrew, channel knife, jigger, muddler, reamer, standard knife, stirrer, and strainer. Which should cover any type of cocktail you’re going to make out in the wild. The $50 price tag is a bit hard to swallow, but if you’re a hard core liquor person and always need a drink, this tool should serve you well.

There are few things more satisfying than taking a shot then chucking the glass to the floor to break it. Unfortunately, it can either get expensive or get you kicked out of the bar. Here to soften the burden is the . The mold can produce four shot glasses made of wonderful disposable ice. Throw a few batches worth in your cooler and then enjoy one quick shot at the tailgate before heading to the game. No clean up and no worries. Plus you get to see the faces of your horrified tailgating neighbors as they believe you’re breaking glass all over campus. At $8 you certainly get your money’s worth.

This website won’t make a habit of recommending products from Urban Outfitters. And I’ll also concede that this product is more about winning laughs while tailgating than easily sneaking liquor into a game. But nonetheless hipster college football fans, I present the mustache flask.

The Shoot a Brew is definitely a novelty item. The price of and need for a cooler that will throw you a beer are questionable. But it’s also pretty damn cool and more feasible then the long lasting goal of teaching your dog to fetch you a cold one. The cooler holds up to 24 beers, launches them 8ft through a flap in the top, and is controlled by a remote. At $295 and a limited ordering process, the closest you’ll come to one of these are probably the videos below. But a guy can dream.
