'Freedom' Super Bowl Punch: Knock Yer Knickers Off

This Super Bowl punch concoction should knock the knickers off even the most diehard fan. I imagine it’s called the “freedom” punch because it may surely free one and all of any inhibitions or restraint. So be it! Drink with caution or you’ll miss the final touchdown…
