Super Bowl day will never be the same with this potent potable. This recipe is great for parties because it can be adapted to make as much or as little as you need. Mix it up in a punch bowl and allow guests to serve themselves. Find a container or mold shaped like a football to make large ice chunks that keep the punch cold or build a small goal post that straddles the bowl to enhance your football theme.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 part vodka
- 1/4 part tequila
- 1/2 part rum
- 1/2 part gin
- 1/2 part triple sec
- 1 1/2 parts lemon-lime Gatorade
- splash of cola for color
- orange juice for taste (optional)

Caramelize your Hot Buttered Rum by building the ingredients as stated in the recipe below and plunge a red-hot* poker into the glass for about a minute.
*Choose a clean, thick rod and let it sit in the fire until it is red hot. Shake off any ashes and be careful not to touch the rod to the bottom of the glass or it will shatter. This is great for camping and the same hot-poker method can be used for caramelizing dark beers.

- 1 small slice soft butter
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- optional spices: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg
- vanilla extract
- 2 oz dark rum
- boiling water
