With the grandest football game of the season just around the corner, everyone's looking for the perfect way to watch the Patriots play against the Giants for the title. For those who aren't lucky enough to hold tickets to the Super Bowl showdown in Arizona, the next best thing is to sit in front of a large screen TV with plenty of snacks and drinks to go around. So why not spice up this year's football extravaganza with some chips, salsa and Tecate Light?

While Mexico's number one light cerveza is traditionally enjoyed with a squeeze of lime juice and salt crystals, it can also act as the ultimate base for fresh mixed drinks, including:

Tecate Mojito: To update this favorite drink, muddle together six sprigs of fresh mint, 4 tsp. of sugar syrup and 2 tsp. of lime juice in the bottom of a tall, frosted glass. Add 2 Tbl. of light rum (optional) and stir. Pour 12 oz. of chilled Tecate Light into the glass and enjoy!

Nueva Cuba: Liberate yourself from the traditional rum-and-coke with this frosty concoction. Pour 6 oz. of Coca-Cola into the bottom of a cold glass, followed by 6 oz. of Tecate Light. Squeeze a lime slice into the mix and drink up!

Bloody Bull Lager: A new take on the Bloody Mary, this savory mix features the expected ingredients and more! Mix 2 tsp. of lime juice, ½ cup of spicy tomato juice and 2 Tbl. of vodka (optional) in a glass. Pour 12oz. of ice-cold Tecate Light and stir with a crisp celery stalk.

Citrus Explosion: For a quick burst of citrus, pour 6 oz of citrus soda and 6 oz of Tecate Light into the bottom of the glass. Stir well, and enjoy!
