For an adorable alternative to football on Game Day, people know that they can tune in to see adoptable puppies playing on a miniature field—and for the 2026 Super Bowl, 400 Conejos Mezcal is celebrating its namesake mascot with a similar event with a fitting twist, The Bunny Bowl. Also a nod to this year's halftime performer, Bad Bunny, The Bunny Bowl will feature real-life rescue bunnies from All About Rabbits Rescue looking for forever homes.
Leading up to the event, fans can take to social media to familiarize themselves with the fluffy competitors, and vote for the bunny they think will win, and collect the ingredients they need to prepare the event's official cocktail, No Bueno Bunny: 400 Conejos Joven Mezcal, pineapple juice, guava syrup, fresh lime juice, Tajín, and pineapple leaves.
