Tailgating Cocktail: The Yellow Hammer
So Yellow Hammers are basically pineapple juice, orange juice, vodka, Malibu rum, and some more rum. How could they not be good, right? I like to garnish mine with some cherries and orange slices, but I think even some fresh pineapple slices would be nice if they’re in season and you feel like being fancy at your tailgate.

I’m with Ashley. Why haven’t I heard of this Delish Drink before. I do think ‘hammer’ was a very appropriate word to use in the title. Lol
I would choose the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Rammer Jammer, YELLOW HAMMER, give ’em hell, ALABAMA
The yellowhammer is Alabama’s state bird and a traditional game day drink at the University of Alabama. (For those claiming allegiance to other teams.)
This is a great recipe. You might also try substituting Amoretta for one ounce of the rum and adding just a splash of lime juice. I also tend to balance out the pineapple and orange flavors. Cheers and ROLL TIDE!
