? we're in the heat of football season, of course, and that means only one thing, yes, the parties. tailgating parties. joining us this morning for easy tasty ideas for the ultimate

chief entertaining officer, tim, and, tim, this is, by far, my favorite segment we do. >> i love it. i'll tell you what, it's party season. a lot of football left. i have great ideas whether you are at home or tailgating. first, we got to start off with a fun cocktail. >> okay. >> this is the pig skin punch. >> i like the name. >> it starts out -- there's 18 ounces of apple cider. to that, add nine ounces of jack daniels. this is a nine ounce cup. >> only nine. one part jack daniels two parts of apple cider. the kicker is, you want cinnamon or apple pie spice to go in. just a couple shakes. good couple shakes of that. that kicks it up. i'm going to pour over ice. what's great about the cocktail, when it's colder out, use warm cider, and that works great. >> that's a great idea. >> alcohol free version is just the cider and apple pie spice without the jack. i have to taste the soup. >> cheers to that. >> happy tailgating.

>> the one with jack is delicious, but it is nice to have an alcohol-free version. >> it is nice. it would be better with that. >> i'll attest to that. >> here's another idea. no double dipping in this party. i have actually individual containers with dips, so here's vegetables and dill dip. pretzels with mustard, cucumbers with hummus. no double dipping. >> that's great. you don't need utensils. >> and then moving on to shrimp cocktail on a stick. basically i got a shrimp, tomato, dip into -- >> noticing a theme. there's no forks. >> no forks. no utensils or plates needed. you're done. throw everything away and it's simple and easy. grab and go. >> great.

they are pork pops, actually, it's pork tenderloin. i love these. we use them displayed on a pineapple where guests grab them. the secret to this is the marinade. try that marinade. >> awesome. >> it's a basting sauce and real simple to make. few ingredients as you taste that. >> oh, that's great. >> is that good? >> a little soy, ginger, and custard, and that recipe is on mustard, brown sugar. the recipe is on "world news now" facebook page. great marinade, i just love that. >> takes a lot of time. >> no. it's easy. dijon, brown sugar, soy, light oil. i make a double batch to save for basting too grilling your pork tender loin or baking it off, but it makes it delicious, juicy, and gives it a good kick. >> okay.

we'll wednesday with that. >> oh. >> these are the brownie bites, take out, dunk in the caramel, chocolate or strawberry. the dunking action. you can do double. do the triple crown. all three. it works. >> wow. that is a sweet ending to the tailgate party. simple, very easy, and i love it. i mean, obviously, it's tailgating. you're not supposed to worry about the calories, but you tried to make this a healthier version. >> definitely. a healthier version of this. simple, easy, and we love it, and once you set this out, you can enjoy the tailgate party as much as the guests. that's what i love about it. >> that's true. >> self-service. >> off on your own. even with, like, the drink there, it's healthy and there's apple. >> cider's in there. the jack daniels, and like i said, when it's cold, use warm apple cider in a mug, and, of course, the jack daniels. >> all right. thank you, my friend. happy tailgating. >> see you kendis, cheers my friend. >> tim laird, thanks for joining us. for these and more tailgate party ideas, enter the website at wnnfans.com. you're watching "world news now." i'm digging in right now.
