Farmer John teamed up with cocktail creator and bartender Saeed "Hawk" House to create game day cocktails that pack a punch with extra protein. Hawks' Hair of the (Hot) Dog Bloody Mary can be prepared with a curated [Bloody Mary mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-tomato-bloody-mary-mix), plus tequila or vodka, as well as savory garnishes like a [beef frank, bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hormel-1) or pepperoncini.

Another twist on a classic cocktail can be appreciated with a second recipe, the Farmer John Old Fashioned, which is made with [bacon-infused whiskey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/browned-butter-bourbon), maple syrup and bitters, plus bacon and orange peel garnishes.

Beyond the Super Bowl, these over-the-top cocktails can be found at a Anti-Valentine's Day themed pop-up for a limited time at Break Up Bar at Severance on Melrose Avenue.
