Ideas for a race watch party

• Checkered flag pair: piña colada (white) and blue raspberry or cola for contrast
• Podium pours: lime, strawberry, and mango margaritas across two machines
• Alcohol-free bowl for drivers heading home

Race weekend is also a busy Saturday in Austin, so book early. Price my party.
