[Big Sipz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sipz-1), the 90s-inspired RTD cocktail brand known for its high-ABV beverages, kicked off a 16-city tailgate tour to reach fans across the United States during NFL football season. As part of the tour, adult football fans have the opportunity to sample the Big Sipz lineup, including all-new releases like Hard Lemonade, Hard Iced Tea and Purple Punch created in collaboration with [Waka Flocka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waka-flocka-flame). With 200ml sizes, bold flavors and 16% ABV, Big Sipz invites fans to "Tailgate Bigger." The rise of high-ABV beverages reflects consumers' desire for more intensity and flavor complexity in smaller formats, allowing them to savor rich experiences without committing to larger quantities.

With these conveniently packaged, premium game day essentials, there's something for everyone, including the Classic Lime Margarita and Strawberry Margarita and decadent Chocolate Martini.
