The sun is hot, and the drinks are cool! What better way to spend a summer day than at the beach, lounging on the boat, or at the dock with a drink in your hand under the shade of a great umbrella? Since this is also one of our favorite things to do, we wanted to share some fun facts and a couple recipes to try.
Did you know, the famous umbrella garnish in tropical drinks wasn’t just for looks, it was intended to protect the sweet concoctions from the sun, just like our Umbrella Table set options!
While Americans as a whole are not drinking more year over year, we are shifting to new and innovative adult beverages. Beverage trends for this Summer include the RTD or Ready To Drink cocktails in a can. No need to be a mixologist or spend the summer on a bar stool to get those well blended and balanced cocktails. RTDs can be found, for favorites like mules and martinis, at your local liquor shops.
Finally, let’s not forget the Sundowner tradition of sharing a drink as the sun sinks into the sea as it is one of Summer’s special treats. So, whether it is one of the most popular summer drinks of 2024, the trendy Batanga, a classic Gin & Tonic or Margarita, or a swanky cocktail in a can, be sure your drink is sunset toast worthy and enjoy the umbrella!
