In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, no game day is complete without a stop at Gallettes, which is a mere five-minute walk from the football stadium where the Crimson Tide play. There, patrons are sure to be seen sipping on a sweet and tropical drink the color of a bright summer sunflower, or the bright tail patch of the official state bird. This is the Yellow Hammer.
And we just made it even better: Sweet-tart orange juice and and frozen pineapple provide the base of flavor against the four types of spirits, including amaretto and orange liqueur. The frozen version of this classic game-day drink is even more drinkable. Sip it slow, though!
