Stainless Steel Insulated Can & Bottle Holder
Ever notice how quickly your drink warms up in the hot sun? Yuck. That’s about to change. The Corkcicle Arctican ($20) will keep your can (or bottle) cold for 3 hours, so you don’t have to worry about icing down your drink anymore. Its two layers of vacuum-insulated stainless steel ensure your soda or beer will be kept at the perfect temperature.
Picnic Cooler
When you’re going on a picnic, don’t leave home without a cooler. The Amerihome Picnic Cooler ($60) can hold up to 18 cans or 12 bottles, so the bigger the guest list, the better. And don’t worry; the built-in bottle opener ensures you’ll never be without one when you need it most.
Umbrella Straws
Every refreshing poolside drink longs for an umbrella. An umbrella straw, that is. These umbrella straws ($10 for 100) will make any cocktail or mocktail feel extra-tropical.
Party Tub
If you’re hosting a backyard bash this summer, you’ll need a convenient place to hold your drinks. Filled with ice, this go-anywhere powder blue CreativeWare 8.5 Gallon Party Tub ($18) will help keep your beverages nice and cool.
Inflatable Pool Drink Holders
A Flamingo GoFloats Inflatable Pool Drink Holder ($6 for 3) is a pool accessory you didn’t know you needed until now. Your new flamingo friend will make sure your drink is always accessible even if you’re cooling off in the pool. The extra-buoyant raft is designed to stay upright, so you don’t need to worry about any spills. Just relax, float, sip, repeat.
Drink Dispenser
Whether your menu includes homemade lemonade or something a bit stronger, you’ll want an eye-catching way to serve it. The Carnaval Drink Dispenser ($30) fits the bill, and—bonus—it’s acrylic, making this a patio-friendly choice.
Inflatable Beverage Bar
The flamingo drink holder is ideal for individual drinks, but if you’re having a big pool party, then you need something more substantial. The Jasonwell Rainbow Cloud Floating Beverage Bar ($13) has five drink holders! Fill the space in the center with additional beverages, or stock it with snacks for on-the-water munching. This party-ready float is practically an essential pool accessory.
Wine Tumbler
Looking to keep you wine cold and hate the idea of broken glass on the patio? Swap your classic wine glasses for a Swig Wine Tumbler ($15). This 12-ounce vacuum-insulated tumbler will keep the equivalent of TWO glasses of wine cold for up to 9 hours. Plus, if you drop it on the ground, you won’t have to pick up shards of glass. Win-win.
Cocktail Tumblers
When the weather’s nice and dinner is al fresco almost every evening, be sure to stock your cabinets with outdoor-friendly glasses. These Ban.do Acrylic Cocktail Tumblers ($20 for 2) have an adorable confetti pattern that will make any cocktail or lemonade feel super-summery.
Drink Holder Stakes
You won’t hear anyone say, “Hold my beer,” during outdoor activities when you have Sunnydaze Outdoor Yard Drink Holder Stakes ($31 for 6). These two-piece stakes can hold beer cans, soda bottles, Gatorade—practically whatever people are drinking. Stick ’em near the cornhole game so players can easily set down their drink during their turn. They come with a carrying bag, so you can bring them to the park, the beach or a friend’s house.
