Super Bowl’s $50 Cocktail and $36 Nachos: Ingredients Revealed
Fans at the Super Bowl in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, had a lot more to look forward to than just the showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. They were in for a treat with amazing cocktails and delicious snacks.
For many attendees of the Big Game, the offerings at the concession stands were just as thrilling as the action on the field, providing culinary delights for food enthusiasts willing to splurge at the vendors.
As shared on social media, a vibrant New Orleans theme was featured, highlighted by a $59 cocktail called Voodoo Magic. This drink blended Don Julio 1942 and Grand Marnier Cuvée du Centenaire with jalapeño syrup, lime juice, and mango purée, all topped with black magic seasoning and a dehydrated lime wheel for an added punch.
If a $59 concoction was too steep, there was the Blackberry Lemonade, reasonably priced at $40, offering a delightful mix of Crown Royal Blackberry and lemonade.
Of course, not many fans left the Caesars Superdome with just drinks in hand—especially with the availability of gourmet game day snacks! Those on a budget after splurging on the $59 Voodoo Magic could opt for regular nachos at $10, or the “ultimate nachos” for $18, along with elevated nacho variations.
A standout among the nacho offerings was the Super Bowl Ultimate Seafood Nachos, a gourmet delight priced at $36, featuring a base of tortilla chips, rich cheese, guacamole, and all the toppings, generously adorned with Louisiana gulf shrimp and crawfish.
Traditional New Orleans fare was also on the general concession menus, with spicy Jambalaya priced at $18, crawfish pie at $14, and an ultimate grilled alligator sausage Po’ Boy for $21. Only in the Big Easy!
Those opting for a salad had to be ready to pay $100, especially if they chose the luxurious Caprese Crab Salad from the Superdome.
Fans of the Eagles and Chiefs were likely looking for something sweet after the final whistle, and whether celebrating or in need of comfort, the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding or Mardi Gras King Cake would surely satisfy that craving.

Amidst all this culinary excitement, Super Bowl LIX also unfolded on the field, where Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and their Chiefs faced off against MVP Jalen Hurts‘ Philadelphia Eagles, resulting in a 40-22 victory for the Eagles.
Kendrick Lamar headlined the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show with special guests SZA and Samuel L. Jackson, thrilling audiences with his performance that included the Drake diss track “Not Like Us” alongside a medley of greatest hits such as “Squabble Up,” “Luther,” and “All the Stars.”
While Taylor Swift may have faced some booing from the crowd, other celebrities like Bradley Cooper and Jon Hamm (who introduced the Eagles and Chiefs during the pre-game show, respectively), Pete Davidson, Kevin Costner, and Bravo’s Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo (attending apart after their recent breakup) reportedly enjoyed themselves at the Superdome.
Viewers at home witnessed surprising celebrity collaborations in commercials, including David Beckham and Matt Damon promoting Stella Artois, and the cast of Fast & Furious pausing a Pacific Coast Highway race to indulge in Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars.
