Beer-based cocktails for the NFL kickoff

Happy Friday, finance lovers. It’s time for your drink of the week. So take a quick break from finalizing that fantasy football team and pay close attention.

As the NFL tries to convince you that Tom Brady is a cheater and that those skull crushing hits really aren't a big deal, millions of Americans are buying up cases of their favorite brews and plan to park it on the couch to watch the first slate of Sunday games this weekend.

But why stick with that plain old beer when you can spice it up - literally - and enjoy some good old Yahoo Finance Micheladas?

Here's how we'll be mixing ours this weekend:

Take a glass and rim it with a mix of salt, paprika and a little cayenne pepper. We like to use honey to get it all to stick. It's messy but the hot and the sweet go really nicely together.

Now fill the glass halfway with ice.

Add in three ounces of tomato juice, a healthy glug of hot sauce, a dash of Worcestershire sauce and the juice of one lime. Give it a good stir.

Now add your favorite light beer (like Corona or Pacifico) and stir it one more time.

The only thing that's left is to sit back and watch the Giants go up against the Cowboys Sunday night!

Cheers!
