Entertaining for the Super Bowl — Made in Quebec version

Next February 3 will be the Super Bowl; the biggest sporting event in the United States and certainly the most watched around the world.

If you receive at home for the game, here are some suggestions that will make this evening a success!

aperitif

The welcome cocktail

What could be more pleasant than being received with a festive cocktail during an evening? Here we offer you the recipe forTom Collins version 1642 Orange that will impress your guests every time!

What you need :

• 1 1/2 oz Cirka gin
• 1/2 oz ofLes Charlatans simple syrup (available at the Signé Local store )
• 3/4 oz lemon juice
• 1 1/2 oz of 1642 Orange (available at the Signé Local boutique )

Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. Then add all the ingredients, ending with the 1642 orange. Decorate with a slice of orange.

Beer

The essential for a successful Super Bowl evening is undoubtedly beer!

For the occasion, we offer you organic beers from the Boldwin microbrewery. Pure and rich in taste, they are affordable, original, enjoyable and satisfying. I personally have a weakness for their Ale Rousse: the extra special Bitter. I must admit that the Belgian IPA, exclusively available at the SAQ, piques my curiosity.

For those who live on the South Shore of Montreal, know that it is possible to fill your jug ​​or buy a barrel directly at the brewery located in Boucherville.

The non-alcoholic option

For your guests who don't drink alcohol, we turn to an equally sparkling and festive option: kombucha! The Tchaga company also offers a hop flavor that is similar to the taste of beer. Although all the flavors have their particularities, the ginger kombucha remains my favorite.

Two flavors of Tchaga kombucha are available at all times for refilling at the Signé Local boutique: ginger and a seasonal flavour.

For the more traditional, we still offer the classics: cola, lemonade, ginger ale and tonic.

The menu

This is undoubtedly the central element of this evening. We've opted for a thematic "sports brasserie" menu which will immediately put your guests in the mood for the evening.

Guinea fowl sausages and sauerkraut

La Pintarade mainly raises meat guinea fowl, but also several other types of poultry. In addition to their popular guinea fowl terrines, the company offers three sausage flavors perfect for your Super Bowl meal: hot, cranberry or tarragon.

Pintarade sausages as well as thighs and breasts are available frozen at the Signé Local boutique.

We accompany everything with organic sauerkraut with lemon and dill Tout Cru!

Jerk Chicken Drumsticks

Les épices de Marie Michèle offers us several excellent recipes for a Super Bowl evening at home. We present the jerk chicken drumsticks recipe here, but the cocktail prawns with hot sauce and the grilled lamb chops are also very good options!

Mexican Hot Dip
