1. Alabama: Yellow Hammer.
"It's a mixed drink that includes rum, vodka, amaretto, grenadine, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Big hit on Alabama football game days." —courtneyg43e6fd966
2. Alaska: Duck Farts.
"This recipe is Kahlua coffee liqueur, Bailey's Irish cream, and Crown Royal Canadian whisky." —maureen45rae

7. Connecticut: White wine.
*Editor's Note: No one submitted anything for Connecticut, but we looked around and white wine seems to be a winner. Plus, did you know in 2014 that Connecticut beat out California in wine consumption?
8. Delaware: Dogfish Head
"I grew up in Delaware and can say Dogfish Head 100%." —monicas433f440da
9. Florida: Mojito.
