6 of the most refreshing ‘grab and go’ drinks you need to have in your cooler this summer

Easy peasy like the summer breezes


UPDATED JUNE 19, 2020 12:37 PM EDT

The first day of summer is almost here and our goal for the 2020 season is to relax (as much as we possibly and realistically can). From easy summer recipes to cocktails that go down smooth, everything about summertime is meant to be enjoyed with only the best that there is. Below we’ve gather several drinks that deserve to go in every cooler in the US due to their utter deliciousness and ease. We’ve got fruity, fizzy and everything in between gathered all in one place so you don’t have to do any hard work (because you already do enough WFH).
