When you Follow The Captain, game day goes on Cruz Control—and always brings the spice.

Captain Morgan sent the 2023 NFL season off with signature spice, teaming up with New York Giants legend Victor Cruz for a gigantic bar crawl event all around Manhattan. It all culminated with an epic Battle of the Captains, with fans showing out for Big Blue and Jets Nation and a New York rivalry for the ages.

All season long, Captain Morgan has encouraged football fans to find clues and Follow the Captain in an IRL scavenger hunt for a treasure trove of prizes. Clues have popped up everywhere from your favorite pub to your local stadium to your TV set, and fans who were quick enough to snap the QR codes and go to FollowTheCaptain.com unlocked amazing swag and experiences—like this ultimate game day mobile watch party hosted by Super Bowl XLVI champion Victor Cruz.

As NFL teams battled it out during Week 15, Cruz took lucky fans 21+ on a tour of some of the best sports bars in New York, including T-Squared, Blue Haven South, and Rocco’s. Fans snapped selfies with Cruz and grabbed autographs while sipping on signature Captain Morgan cocktails like Captain espresso martinis and taking in another exciting week of NFL football at every stop.

Things really got spicy once the bar crawl reached Rocco’s, for a Battle of the Captains and a showoff between two signature Captain Morgan cocktails: The Giant’s Juice for fans in blue, and the Jets & Ginger for those repping their in-stadium rivals. No matter your team, fans enjoyed food, giveaway swag, and an exclusive meet-and-greet with Cruz – who knows the game and brings the spice to everything he does.
