Top it off with some ice cubes.

Encourage your friends and family to stay in for the game rather than heading out to a bar. Not only will you save money, but you'll also create a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Plus, you can customize the menu to suit everyone's tastes and dietary preferences. You can even make it a potluck-style gathering, where each guest contributes a dish. It's a win-win – great food, great company, and a great game!
