Wow! Just like that, football season is almost BACK! I know I am excited to cheer on the Florida Gators this season and head up to Gainesville for some tailgates. Today, I wanted to share with you how to create the perfect tailgate with Publix and PEPSI®. Let’s jump in!
Make sure to visit here for deals at Publix for everything you need for your tailgate!
Find a great place to set up your tailgate
You may choose to set up your tailgate next to the stadium so you can walk over easily. But, really, anywhere can be a parking lot party! This time, I chose to set up in a beautiful spot next to the water with some lovely palm trees around! You can even grab some lawn chairs and a portable TV or laptop to watch the game from truly WHEREVER if you’re not up to travel this season.
Dress in your team’s colors
Don’t forget to wear your Saturday (or Sunday for NFL) best! I love grabbing my best orange and blue outfits to tailgate in style while cheering on my team.
Come prepped with plenty of drinks and snacks
When you’re tailgating, the days can be long and SUPER HOT here in Florida. I like to come PREPARED! My favorite place to shop for tailgate goodies is Publix, where I can stock up on all my favorite Pepsi and Frito-Lay® products. This time, I grabbed a couple two-liters of Pespi and a ton of my favorite Bubbly seltzers. For snacks, I knew I wanted my favorite, Tostitos Hint of Lime chips, along with some Nacho Cheese Doritos and Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles. Pair them with some yummy dips and you’re all set for the perfect tailgate!
Invite some friends
Find some friends to cheer on your favorite team with you! Or, what can sometimes be even more fun is having friends from the rival team. Heats up the competition!
Decorate with your team’s colors
As you set up your tailgate, don’t forget to deck out your trunk in your team’s colors! The easiest ways to do this are to grab some blankets and foldable chairs. I’d also recommend grabbing a foldable table with a cute table cloth to set your snacks and drinks out on!
That’s it! Ready to tailgate? Bring it on! Head on over to Publix to grab all of the Pepsi products you need for the PERFECT tailgate!
