Football season is right around the corner and there’s no way you’re cheering on the Tide without a Yellow Hammer in hand. Get the recipe for my Skinny Yellow Hammer cocktail below. And don’t forget to fuel up with good game day eats like, Guacamole, deviled eggs, and hot spinach artichoke dip. Roll Tide!

Skinny Yellow Hammer Cocktail Recipe

If there were ever a drink to define a gameday experience in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, it would be the Yellow Hammer cocktail. Whether it’s your first trip to Gallettes or your 30-year college reunion, there’s something about the concoction in that bright yellow cup that screams “IT’S GAME DAY!”

How to Make a Yellow Hammer Slammer Cocktail

Gallettes is one of the most popular bars in Tuscaloosa and is home to the Yellow Hammer cocktail. They are the birth child of this bright yellow concoction and it’s truly un-American to visit Tuscaloosa, AL and not have yourself yellow hammer (or two). The ingredients of this cocktail are mostly comprised of liquor, so beware! The tropical flavors of pineapple and orange juice make the cocktail so smooth and refreshing. Perfect for a hot game day in the South!

Alabama Tailgaiting in 2020

College gamedays in Tuscaloosa are expected to look vastly different this year. We are really sad we won’t be able to tailgate on the quad, visit our favorite Tuscaloosa bars, and cheer on the Tide like we normally do. Like many, we’ll be conducting more at-home tailgates this year, but get excited because I have the best yellow hammer cocktail copycat recipe!

Everyone loves a good yellow hammer to kick off a game day in the South. Here’s how to make my skinny version of the yellow hammer cocktail.
