| The Pounder |
With the Super Bowl kicking off this Sunday, the mixologists at Carnival Cruise Line have created a pair of colorful cocktails inspired by the two teams competing for the championship trophy.
The hand-crafted cocktails – “The Pounder” and “The Charger,” inspired by the squads from Carolina and Denver, respectively – are meant to complement the action as guests check out the big game being shown onboard.
