Purity Vodka
The Super Bowl is pretty much synonymous with guzzling a bunch of American beer in one sitting, but not everyone wants to down a couple of six packs on gameday. And you know what? That’s perfectly okay. You can just as easily sip on a cocktail while you chow down on buffalo wings and indulge in the JT halftime show. You might even have room for more gameday snacks if your stomach isn’t filled to the brim with lager. (Score.)
