Making a cocktail for each Iowa State game. Today's game is the Big XII championship everyone predicted at the start of the year - the Iowa State Cyclones vs the Arizona State Sun Devils. Whoever wins gets a ticket to the College Football Playoffs. It's been a tough road to get here for both teams. Whoever wins, I have a lot of respect for Arizona State so today's drink is in honor of their achievements this season. I present the "Arizona Sunrise".
