Yellow Hammer

THE signature drink at Gallettes, a bar located near Bryant-Denny Stadium (our stomping grounds all four years of college) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (our alma mater). The drink is named after Alabama’s state bird!
The Yellow Hammer is a popular tailgate drink for University of Alabama football games. Gallettes must sell thousands of Yellow Hammers on football game weekends!
The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret…but I (Leigh) got the inside scoop from some friends and family that bartended at Gallettes in their college days ;)

One sip takes us right back….🐘

Recipe is for one BIG cocktail-but you should definitely batch for your next tailgate or football-watching party!

🏈 Watch out-this sweet and fruity cocktail packs a sneaky punch!

1.5 orange juice
1.5 pineapple juice
