Hosting an Eagles Homegating Party
Thank you, NFL for sponsoring this post. I can’t wait for my next Homegate!
E-A-G-L-E-S!!! It’s that time of year when football fans get extra excited and rally behind their favorite team during the NFL Playoffs! What better way to celebrate and cheer on your team than hosting a Homegate Party! Set yourself up to Homegate like a pro with the help of the NFLShop.com! I’ve also got a fun Philly Eagles Limebacker Drink recipe featuring Lime-A-Rita for all you Philadelphia Eagles fans!
Going to a game is always fun, BUT hosting a Homegate in the comfort of your own is even better! It’s easy, fun and all of your family and friends can be there to cheer on your team! The Philadelphia Eagles are in the NFL Playoffs! Philly football fans are having quite the excitement-filled season. Last week I gathered some of our friends to cheer the Eagles on…not that they needed any convincing to celebrate our team…Have you ever met a Philadelphia Eagles fan, lol??!
A dozen or so of us had a fun day filled with food, drinks, laughter and of course lots of talk about the Eagles as they make their way to the Super Bowl… We even came up with a fun drink we call “The Eagles Limebacker” made with Lime-A-Rita.
We may have had a little setback with Wentz getting injured BUT, Philly fans have every confidence that this team has what it takes to get the job done!
Make the Philly Eagle’s Limebacker by the glass or by the pitcher or simply enjoy cans of Lime-A-Rita on their own. The fresh lime taste is delicious! Even non-beer drinkers agree! Everyone commented on how they enjoyed this drink, both the beer-drinkers and those that lean towards cocktails. Food and football go hand in hand, whether you’re in the tailgating lots, in the stadium, or at a Homegate in your living room!

Can’t wait to see which teams make it to the 2018 Super Bowl...You know who “I” am rooting for! Cheers!!

What a fun gathering! And I love the cocktail!
What a fun party and what delicious cocktails for game day. I will have to keep this easy recipe for Super Bowl gametime.
I was wondering what to do with those lime-a-ritas. Sounds delicious with the added lime!
Yup! They are good on their own but adding in a couple extras makes them even tastier!
What a fun post and absolutely love how you celebrate your team. My team is not in the running this year so maybe I can just root on your team 🙂
Thanks! The NFL Shop makes it easy to add festive team touches to tailgating & parties! And heck you! Hop on the Eagles train...we'd love to have you!
Margaritas are my favorite cocktail! I've never tried this brand but I will be searching high and low for it! It looks so tasty and refreshing! I love game day parties and your cocktail looks like the perfect addition!
