Drinkware for cool, refreshing drinks all summer long
In the summer, there’s nothing like a tall refreshing drink to keep you cool. The right drinkware is a necessity in summer. Creating your favorite summer sips is a snap when you’re outfitted with the right drinkware. Right now is a terrific time to stock up on all summertime drinkware while styles are available and before they’re all snapped up for the season’s picnics and barbecues.
Infusion
One of the easiest and most refreshing summertime drinks is a simple infused water. Whether that’s cucumber, lemon and mint or pineapple and lime, a tall pitcher of icy infused water will refresh your palate and keep you feeling cool. Infused water is easy to make in the Prodyne Fruit Infusion Pitcher (www.walmart.com). Simply slice fruits or vegetables, place them in the inner chamber and allow it to sit in the refrigerator at least one hour.
For fast refreshment on the go, try the 32-ounce OMorc Fruit Infuser Water Bottle (www.amazon.com). Simply slice and add your fruit to the well inside the bottle, refrigerate overnight and you have a cool, fruit infused bottle of water for your day. Or, add a basket infuser to your favorite reusable water bottle. The Primula Fruit Infuser basket (www.bedbathandbeyond.com) can turn any plain water into fruit infused by adding to your favorite water bottle.
To keep your party and picnic stocked with plenty of cool beverages, float sliced fruits or vegetables in the Core two-and-a-half-gallon glass dispenser (www.webrestaurantstore.com). It comes with its own chalkboard sign and iron stand. The glass design is simple and shows off your fruits, and it makes dispensing iced tea, lemonade or infusion water easy for guests.
No sweat
To keep your summer outings filled with cool drinks without the sweat, look toward insulated servers and drinkware. For parties, try the Double Walled Stainless Steel 17-Inch Beverage Tub (www.bedbathandbeyond.com) to keep condensation down, your table dry and your drinks cold. Also, ice buckets are notorious for sweating, so the Double-Wall Stainless-Steel Insulated Ice Bucket (www.williams-sonoma.com) is a must for keeping ice longer without condensation.
Keeping on-the-go drinks cold is easy with the Yeti insulated tumbler. Famous for coolers that retain the cold for long periods of time, the Yeti Rambler (ww.yeti.com) insulated tumbler puts their cold-keeping technology to work for your drinks too. For something more stylish, try the 16-ounce Tervis Tumbler Jewel set (www.amazon.com). Their bright colors will help guests from mixing their drinks and keep your beverage cooler longer.
Cool and colorful
Load up on pretty, colorful acrylic drinkware during the summer. The bright and fun designs are perfect for picnics, time at the beach or around the pool. Perk up your picnic with the Caterina Twist 22-ounce acrylic tumbler in neon yellow (www.wayfair.com). Or, for wine by the pool, opt for the beautiful unbreakable set of six Felli acrylic tumblers that look like crystal (www.target.com). With the right drinkware, your summer beverages will stay cold and simplify entertaining without worrying over drink sweat, ice refills or glass breakage.
